Musharraf: November 3 Step was Illegal

On Friday, BBC aired an interview that President Musharraf gave on the BBC. It was quite an astonishing interview and truly thought provoking. At one point he said quite openly,

"Have I done anything constitutionally illegal? Yes, I did it on 3 November," he said, referring to his imposition of emergency rule.

Can someone elaborate on this? Was that a slip of a tongue? Or did he actually mean it? If this step on Nov 3 was illegal (in his own words) then he broke the law and should be tried accordingly.

Here is the text of the interview.
