Dan Schechter dissects the assassination of Benazir Bhutto, minus MSM spin.
Harry Shearer found Bhutto to be more impressive than either American president he has personally met.
Bill Maher famously lost his job for pointing out that you can call suicide bombers lots of negative things, but cowardly is not one of them. AP quotes the American president, "The United States strongly condemns this cowardly act by murderous extremists who are trying to undermine Pakistan's democracy," he said. "Those who committed this crime must be brought to justice."
From Schechter's blog:
Now the State Department is calling for a full and open investigation. Already the “crime scene” was hosed down as viewers of the BBC saw.
Update 12/30/07: the cause of death is in dispute, Guardian, UK
Asif Ali Zardari, Bhutto's widower, was known as Mr. 10%, New York Times Bhutto obit
Bhutto's 19 year old son is named as PPP successor, BBC
Who do Pakistanis blame?: Independent, UK
Update 1/1/08, In a November 2007 interview with David Frost, only a few weeks before she was assassinated, Benazir Bhutto made a very disturbing remark, she referred to Omar Sheik, as “the man who murdered Bin Laden.” Does it matter if Osama is alive or dead? Words of Power
