Bhutto Assassination update

I have spent these days since the lamentable assassination of

Benazir Bhutto in Pakistan in a state of mournful sorrow, yet

with a twist of amusement, but not in the funny, ha ha sort of

way. No, I have been 'amused' by the Pakistani government's

(ie. murderers) explanation of the events on that tragic day.

Apparently, according to the government spokesman, Bhutto

did not die from gunshots or the bomb explosion. No, the

sunroof killed her! Yes, you read correctly. Bhutto, as you all

know by now, was waving and saluting her adoring public 

as she stood in the open sunroof of her vehicle. When the

deadly commotion started, she quickly tried to re-enter her

vehicle (according to the government version), and in doing

so, hit the lever of the sunroof with the back of her head,

fracturing it and causing the fatal injuries. That's right,

death by sunroof is the version they are trying to sell. I just

want to know when the entire world became blonde, or

were born yesterday. It is just an insult to even offer up 

such a pathetic fantasy; who in their right mind would even

for a moment consider such an excuse? A harried videotape 

taken during the dreadful episode has surfaced, and despite

it not being of the best quality, it is still very clear that 

Bhutto was shot first, as you see her buckle and begin to

collapse, then the light of the explosion from the suicide

bomb follows almost immediately after. So now the red-

faced Pakistani government, trying to present some

semblance of propriety, has invited Scotland Yard investi-

gators into Pakistan to assist in discovering exactly how 

Bhutto was killed and who was responsible (again insulting

our intelligence, as if we didn't know....sheesh). Further-

more, a few days ago, the government announced they 

would delay the elections until February, due to the exces-

sive protests and violence after Bhutto's death. It would 

not surprise me in the least if the elections were delayed 

again, or not even held. And if they do ever take place, it 

will be ridiculously rigged, so it will all be moot. But 

nothing, not Scotland Yard, not any mournful protest by 

Pakistani citizens, will bring Benazir Bhutto back. Sad.
