- LeeSoong, on 07/23/2008, -4/+71Well, killing the 1st person eye witness is absolute confirmation of the falsehood of the ''Official Story''.
His death provides more evidence than any of his words could. - inactive, on 07/24/2008, -15/+58She was corrupt.
Elected twice, found guilty of corruption twice.
She was turned into some democratic hero by Western media with little to no mention of her history, or her own family members corrupt activity. She even had one of her brother's sentenced to jail, other family's exiled, deported, etc.
What a great woman. Finally, lets not forget her husband: Mr. 10% - Mr. 10% because he had imposed a law in which he would receive 10% of all profits in anything ranging from real estate, commercial transactions to government funded projects. All of these activities allowed the "Bhutto Dynasty" to accumulate enough wealth to live in pretty much a palace in Dubai (tax free).
But no, the sensationalist MSM had to neglect her entire past and corrupt rule and brandish her a martyr for democracy. ***** that. - arjie, on 07/24/2008, -2/+23Here in India we knew all that. But that's not the point, she was making quite an impact against the dictatorial Musharraf regime. Pakistanis obviously preferred the embezzler to the dictator (effectively, a dictator at least), a reasonable choice.
Besides I don't get it. No one's claiming she was an angel, everybody's just saying that Pakistan has been set back on the road to democracy because of her death, which is pretty much right. - ABadPerson, on 07/24/2008, -7/+25Doesn't make assassinating her right...
- KibblesnBitts, on 07/24/2008, -1/+17cant we just fly these key witnesses to any major crimes to switzerland, give them a decent lifestyle, and have them testify via webcam?
Hope for justice in the world is diminishing even more rapidly - MacTyler, on 07/24/2008, -2/+17I don't know much about either side to this topic, but atdakore, he came across more intelligently than you....
- fokov, on 07/24/2008, -1/+13It was always an illusion. You are just waking up my friend. You are in for a "treat."
- dracken, on 07/24/2008, -2/+12The fact that she is corrupt is true. The fact that she was played up by the MSM the last hope for democracy is also true.
But that does not in any way reduce the heinousness of the crime that she was assassinated. This article is not about whether she was the best chance Pakistan had, rather it is about the fact that some people got her assassinated and most probably they are not the ones that blame was immediately assigned to and they would never be caught, because they are bumping off the witnesses.
Remember that she was targeted by a bomb a few weeks before she was assassinated in which 150 people lost their lives. The streetlights mysteriously went off before the bomb went off. Even after that attempt Musharaaf declined her request for private security guards from a western country.
After her assassination, the government spokesman went on the record to say that she died because she hit her head on the sunroof latch. Even though a video surfaced, which clearly showed a man pointing and firing a gun at her, initially the government spokesman refused to acknowledge that there was a gunman. Add to that, her crime scene was hosed down with high pressure hoses a mere hour after her assassination. And now her bodyguard mysteriously dies.
The list of people she had given in a letter to Mushraaf from whom she feared a threat to her life were never questioned.
What does all these have to do about whether she was corrupt or not ?
The real gem of the article is: Zulfikar Mirza, the Sindh home minister, said it was "premature to say that Khalid was killed for being a witness in Benazir Bhutto's assassination case" - brinewr, on 07/24/2008, -0/+10Corruption - 1,625,309, 207,853,907
Truth - 7
Corruption wins again - inactive, on 07/24/2008, -4/+13100% correct. That's why you'd be hard pressed to find a Pakistani who mourns her death. It's laughable, the way the foreign press played this up as some sort of Princess Diana redux or whatever. She was a terrible prime minister and her popularity ratings in Pakistan were in the ***** when she died.
But that hasn't stopped liberals in western countries from turning her into some sort of martyr for...well I don't know what exactly, since she was PM of Pakistan for 8 years and didn't do ***** except steal money from the government and go on multi-million dollar shopping sprees in London. I guess she's a martyr for people who think we should all be able to steal billions from our governments and spend it on ritzy jaunts to Europe. - TinternAbbot, on 07/24/2008, -1/+10Not surprising. Evil *****.
- rearlgrant, on 07/24/2008, -1/+8Bad.
- inactive, on 07/24/2008, -3/+9Care to refute any of my claims?
- gimpbully, on 07/24/2008, -0/+6A drive-by shooting is a "car accident"? I'm sure my insurance adjuster would agree.
- MacTyler, on 07/24/2008, -1/+7I don't think he is advocating murder. I think he is simply saying that western media has turned her into some kind of hero and that doesn't seem to be the case based on her track record. I really don't have any clue on any of this so I am just going to stop now.
- peticsu, on 07/24/2008, -3/+8was it Jorge trying to prove how hardcore he is?
- gcnaddict, on 07/24/2008, -0/+5When did the truth ever win? I'm at a loss here.
- inactive, on 07/24/2008, -1/+6there is no escape
- Asianwaste, on 07/24/2008, -0/+4People do survive gun shots.
- inactive, on 07/24/2008, -0/+4He was mistaken,
Her HUSBAND stole BILLIONS, she just shared it, bought ***** with it etc.
Sources - Most of the sources claim embezzling valued at only a few hundred million, however Citigroup is set to file charges against Zardari (her husband) for close to billions. It is hard to track the actual cash as it has been moved from Swiss and Mexican bank accounts and in smaller amounts, across the world.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1946116/p ... - arjie, on 07/24/2008, -0/+4He was shot in a drive by shooting. That's a complicated way to commit suicide. What kind of a car accident involves shooting out the window?
- gimpbully, on 07/24/2008, -8/+12so no matter your opinion or facts, you're accepting assassination/murder as a proper method of silencing those you oppose?
- atdakore, on 07/24/2008, -0/+4What doesn't make sense to me, is that the videos I have seen make it very clear, beyond reasonable doubt in fact.
That she was shot and started to fall before the explosion.
And what about the change in autopsy results, from a bullet to a fracture.
Pakistan and the UK should be ashamed. - RAGEdemon, on 07/24/2008, -1/+4Cummon yaar. Sad about the deaths, but can you imagine what the country would have been like if she actually came back into power? Anyone even remember mr. 10 percent?
She leeched the poor and sucked the country dry before going to the UK so she couldn't be prosecuted... she called it "self exile".
-- Pakistani Citizen. - WilliamDavis, on 07/24/2008, -0/+3Yeah, because he's going to fix it all like a black batman super president. Pow!! Blam!!
- arjie, on 07/24/2008, -0/+3The only people able to do that would be the government of that country. And when the government _is_ the perpetrator you're pretty much screwed.
- gimpbully, on 07/24/2008, -0/+3also, I didn't say who assassinated her. Assassination is inherently about silencing dissent.
- zyklon, on 07/24/2008, -0/+3Hey hey, the important thing is we're trying!
I can't even lie right... :( - JohnnyThunders, on 07/24/2008, -1/+4Hate to say it, but the world has always been like this.
- fr0ng, on 07/24/2008, -0/+2Why am I not suprised..
- gimpbully, on 07/24/2008, -0/+2so... "yes"?
- zolthar, on 07/24/2008, -0/+2How are the Comments (from Pakistan) are not dealing with the article's issue, but rather justify the murder (not directly, but by smearing Bhutto's reputation)?
I mean, if she was so bad, she wouldn't have been elected, end of story... - praha, on 07/24/2008, -0/+2I wonder if she saw it coming.
- hwy9nightkid, on 07/24/2008, -0/+2Queen of Jordan is Beautiful as well.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_Rania - hwy9nightkid, on 07/24/2008, -1/+3Osama is dead.
- gimpbully, on 07/24/2008, -0/+2So no matter of evidence even gives you pause? You're certainly entitled to your opinion of people but when you default to an explanation that is contradicted by some fairly concrete evidence, I think you're being obtuse.
Sure, this could be correlation, but any reasonable person looking at this would view a drive by shooting of a major witness in a major federal case to be a case of assasination. - Lone1, on 07/24/2008, -0/+2uhh, that brother was a terrorist, plane hijacking variety, who started his own terrorist org.
- inactive, on 07/24/2008, -1/+3"...she stole billions of dollars from state coffers." BILLIONS!?!
Are you kidding me!?! Where do you come up with these claims? Please site your source for this insane amount. Then maybe you'll get dugg up. - zombies187, on 07/24/2008, -0/+2The people wanted her. Musharraf refused to protect her. HE is the corrupt leader who should be ousted.
- Stonekeeper, on 07/24/2008, -0/+2She knew too much: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UnychOXj9Tg
- Chipsandsnacks, on 07/24/2008, -0/+1THE BAT......MAN
- Hangly, on 07/24/2008, -1/+2Is it just me or was she kind of hot? I mean as far as heads of state go.
I wonder what it is that's so important about keeping Musharraf in power. I wonder if it has anything to do with Afghanistan. I wonder if he's the old-world Noriega who guarantees the drugs make it to port. - inactive, on 07/24/2008, -1/+2Queen of the arm candy.
- Asianwaste, on 07/24/2008, -0/+1THE NIGHT IS MINE!!!
- Hangly, on 07/24/2008, -0/+1on teevee?
- queenoftoshiba, on 07/26/2008, -0/+1Bhutto's assasination was no honor killing. It was an obstruction of justice. Just like the death of her security chief.
- Hangly, on 07/24/2008, -0/+1THE BATMAN
- LeeSoong, on 08/01/2008, -0/+1Words like 'assassination' and 'murder' sound so harsh and negative, the powers that be prefer the term 'retirement'.
- zombies187, on 07/25/2008, -0/+1She was the front runner. Who do you think we are talking about?
- Arghblarg, on 07/24/2008, -1/+2BURIED FOR BATMAN.
