Interesting series of videos on PakJab Army chiefs. This one is Part 1 (of 4 parts) on Musharraf.
Parts 3 and 4 are quite interesting with details about Kargil and the 1999 Coup.

Fortunately there are some saner voices (Tahir Ghora, Hamid Bashani etc) who can analyze and discuss the issue with a historical context.
Sadly though, these folks are in Canada and mainstream paki media is spewing verbal diarrhea!
