Introduction
The media material on General Pervez Musharraf presents extremely conflicting and contradictory pictures. Reporting from various sources with carefully inserted biases leads to utter confusion. This article borrows its title from a phrase used by Brig. (r) S. N. Sachadeva in his op-ed for the Daily Excelsior and by Arvind Lavakare in his article for Rediff News Service. It adequately sums up the difficulty in assessing General Musharraf .
This article attempts to collate information that has emerged from various sources about the General and puts together a `composite'. This technique is routinely used in police work to convert a description of a suspect from many witnesses into a photograph. In the process of doing this it has also become possible to address some specific patterns in the coverage of General Musharraf so wherever possible a `composite' has been built up on these topics.

We begin the article by discussing General Musharraf's childhood and possible influences therein. In the next section we examine the information available about General Musharraf's military and political career. In the section after that we briefly cover the views held by various commentators on General Musharraf . Then we look carefully at `composites' on the following commonly seen motifs in writings about General Musharraf ; `Musharraf : AtaPak v/s AtaTurk', `Musharraf and the West', and `Musharraf and the Pan-Islamist Clique'. Lastly we present our concluding remarks.

In our approach we are faced with severe limitations on the amount of information available about contacts between General Musharraf and the Chinese Government and the North Korean Government. Thus it is difficult to establish the exact nature of his impact on ties with these two nations. These are of importance as these nations have contributed heavily to making Pakistan's nuclear weapons and delivery systems.<snip>
