BlackChampagne -- no longer new; improvement also in question.: Benazir Bhutto Assassination



Monday, December 31, 2007  

Benazir Bhutto Assassination


I hope everyone's heard about her assassination, but it's gotten interesting in the days after, since the official Pakistan government story appears to be a pathetic attempt at a coverup. Watch the video from Britain's Channel 4 and see what seems like pretty clear evidence that she took at least one bullet to the back of the neck or head, seconds before the bomb goes off.



The odd thing to me is that the Pakistani government seems to think their version of events is better, in some way. They're freely admitting that a seeming total lack of security allowed the leading political candidate to replace the entrenched leadership to be killed as the direct result of a gunman who fired at her from point blank range, an action immediately followed by a bomb-packing accomplice detonating himself and killing more than twenty bystanders, presumably including the gunman. But wait, says the Pakistani government; she wasn't actually hit by any of the bullets; she died ducking to avoid them, when she hit her head on the car's sunroof.

Even if you accept that account, what's the difference? An assassin got to within several feet of her and shot at the back of her head without any interference from security, and another guy set off a bomb from equally-direct range. Even if you believe that the shooter was an astonishingly bad shot, and that Bhutto had astonishingly bad luck with pointy car parts when she ducked down, the failures (intentional or otherwise) in security are identical.

I applaud your pointing out the fact of the coverup of what really happened.

You should also look at the media blocking the next best thing for President, Ron Paul. He has been winning internet polls over the past 6 months, but gets no coverage. He actually has a real issues that need to be resolved. Google Ron Paul, find out about him. Let me know what you think!
