The question is, if there is evidence, can treason charges be avoided by heart ailment and resignation? What should be done? I received this news, do not know what is the latest.

President Zardari suddenly leaves Pakistan - is he on the way out?
By Josh Rogin
(ForeignPolicy.com) - Pakistani [illegal, traitorous] president Asif
Ali Zardari left Pakistan suddenly on Tuesday [6 December 2011],
complaining of heart pains, and is now in Dubai [UAE]. His planned
testimony before a joint session of Pakistan's Parliament on the
Memogate scandal is now postponed indefinitely.
On Dec. 4 [2011], Zardari announced that he would address Pakistan's
Parliament about the Memogate issue, in which his former [traitorous]
ambassador to Washington Husain Haqqani stands accused of
orchestrating a scheme to take power away from Pakistan's senior
military and intelligence leadership, and asking for U.S. help in
preventing a military coup. Haqqani has denied that he wrote the memo
at the heart of the scheme, which also asked for U.S. support for the
Zardari government and promised to realign Pakistani foreign policy to
match U.S. interests.
The memo was passed from Pakistani-American businessman Mansoor Ijaz
to former [US] National Security Advisor [General (R)] Jim Jones, to
then Joint Chiefs Chairman [former US Navy] Adm. Mike Mullen on May 10
[2011], only nine days after U.S. forces [reportedly] killed Osama bin
Laden in the Pakistani military town of Abbottabad.
Ijaz has repeatedly accused Haqqani of being behind the memo, and Ijaz
claims that Haqqani was working with Zardari's implicit support.
Early on Tuesday morning, Zardari's spokesman revealed that the
president had traveled to Dubai to see his children and undergo
medical tests linked to a previously diagnosed "cardiovascular
condition."
A former U.S. Government official told The Cable [of Washington DC-
based Foreign Policy magazine] today that when [US] President Barack
Obama spoke with Zardari over the weekend regarding NATO's killing of
the 24 Pakistani soldiers, Zardari was "incoherent." The Pakistani
president had been feeling increased pressure over the Memogate
scandal. "The noose was getting tighter - it was only a matter of
time," the former [US] official said, expressing the growing
expectation inside the U.S. Government that Zardari may be on the way
out.
The former U.S. official said that parts of the U.S. Government were
informed that Zardari had a "minor heart attack" on Monday night and
flew to Dubai via air ambulance today. He may have angioplasty on
Wednesday and may also resign on account of "ill health."
"This is the 'in-house change option' that has been talked about,"
said Shuja Nawaz, Director of the South Asia Center at the Atlantic
Council, in a Tuesday interview with The Cable. Nawaz said that this
plan would see Zardari step aside and be replaced by his own party,
preserving the veneer of civilian rule but ultimately acceding to the
military's wishes to get rid of Zardari.
"Unfortunately, it means that the military may have had to use its
muscle to effect change yet again," said Nawaz. "Now if they stay at
arm's length and let the party take care of its business, then things
may improve. If not, then this is a silent coup with [Pakistani
(traitorous, PPP) prime minister Yusuf Raza] Gilani as the front man."
In Islamabad, some papers have reported that before Zardari left
Pakistan, the Pakistani Army insisted that Zardari be examined by
their own [Army] physicians, and that the Army doctors determined that
Zardari was fine and did not need to leave the country for medical
reasons. Zardari's spokesman has denied that he met with the Army
doctors.
One Pakistani source told The Cable that Zardari was informed on
Monday that none of the opposition party members nor any of the
service chiefs would attend his remarks to the [Pakistan] Parliament
as a protest against his continued tenure. This source also said that
over a dozen of Zardari's ambassadors in foreign countries were in the
process of being recalled in what might be a precursor to Zardari
stepping down as president, taking many of his cronies with him.
Pakistan's Dawn newspaper reported that before leaving, Zardari met
separately with [Yusuf] Gilani, Chairman of the Senate [PPP Senator]
Farooq H. Naik and [PPP traitorous] Interior Minister [Abdul] Rehman
Malik.
This past weekend, the Memogate scandal worsened for Zardari when Ijaz
alleged in a Newsweek [The Daily Beast] opinion piece that Zardari and
Haqqani had prior knowledge of the U.S. raid to kill [Usama] bin
Laden, and may have given permission for the United States to violate
Pakistan's airspace to conduct the raid.

On May 2 [2011], the day after [Osama] bin Laden was killed, Wajid
[Shamsul] Hasan, Pakistan's High Commissioner to the United Kingdom,
said in an interview with CNN that Pakistan, "did know that this was
going to happen because we have been keeping - we were monitoring him
and America was monitoring him. But Americans got to where he was
first."
In a statement given to the Associated Press of Pakistan [APP] Monday,
White House spokesperson Caitlyn Hayden said that information on the
actual operation to kill [Usama] bin Laden was not given to anyone in
Pakistan.
"As we have said repeatedly, given the sensitivity of the operation,
to protect our operators we did not inform the Pakistani government,
or any other government, in advance," she said.

Zardari lived in self-imposed exile in Dubai from 2004 through 2007
after being released from prison, where he had been held for eight
years on corruption charges. His three children live there, but his 23-
year son Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, the Chairman of the Pakistan People's
Party (PPP), is in Pakistan now.
