I tend to agree with Hamid Mir but not for the reasons he gives. The President,took the initiative to have the National Assembly pass the National Security Council Bill in April 2004. This was to be the way to prevent future martial laws in Pakistan.
There is no way, however that the Army can be kept out of National Politics. The Supreme Court of Pakistan has upheld the Doctrine of State Necessity repeatedly. It is this Doctrine that brough President Musharraf into power. I do not see anyway this Supreme Court Judgement can be undone or challenged.
Hamid Mir sees the world through his glasses and not for what it is. That is his major problem despite the fact he is a very senior person in the media world in Pakistan.
