Support NeoGAF

In the latest video, Bhutto is still standing and her hair and scarf appear to move, perhaps from the bullet. Bhutto falls into the car. Then, the blast.

These images support what many people assumed from the beginning -- that Bhutto died at the hands of a shooter and then a suicide bomb was detonated, killing another 23 people.

Everyone in Bhutto's bomb-proof car lived except her. Those with her say they saw her bleeding from her wounds; and the heavily blood-stained interior appears to support their accounts.

The doctor who initially examined the body said she died of bullet wounds; then the Pakistani government said she died from shrapnel wounds from the explosion.

Basically, the governments revised cause of death is full of shit.

I'm psyched about this. If we can work as an echo chamber for this rumor, it could really have legs. Five years from now, this could be a generally accepted fact among radicals on both ends of the political spectrum AND libertarians!

Let's make this happen.

Attack of the straw men total. Please link to where I defended this poor Deady fellow Bobby.

His definition of the "enemy" is just as shoddy as the writer of the article that you posted.

Most NeoCons share this cloudly ill-defined definition. Which is why as long as NeoCon politicians have any say in international politics, this "War on Terror" will last for years without resolution.

Aaanyways...

You can come up with many theories as to who will benefit most. I've heard many from immigrant Pakistanis in the last few days. One thing is for sure, the moment the government started with it's version of how she died, it really makes the situation a lot worse. Even Musharraf supporters are puzzled.

NEW YORK — Benazir Bhutto was so fearful for her life that she tried to hire British and American security firms, including Blackwater, to protect her, but Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf refused to allow the foreign contractors to operate in Pakistan, her aides said.

If she was so fearful, then why the hell was she so damn exposed making it so easy for the perpetrators to kill her.

you're right; she wasn't fearful and hired a suicide bomber and shooter to kill herself.

With rumors of government complicity in Benazir Bhutto's assassination rife throughout Pakistan, the country's stability may depend on the absolute transparency of the investigation into the murder. But a constantly evolving and sometimes contradictory explanation of the events by Pakistani investigators has only clouded the issue. Meanwhile, her husband and her supporters are asking for a United Nations-led inquiry into her death, something Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf is unlikely to accede to. But even if Musharraf were to agree, there is very little for international forensics experts to investigate.

Within hours of the attack in the garrison town of Rawalpindi some 10 miles from the capital, authorities had already hosed down the streets. Pools of blood, along with possible evidence such as bullet casings, DNA samples from the bomber and tracks had been washed away.

NAUDERO, Pakistan — The day she was assassinated last Thursday, Benazir Bhutto had planned to reveal new evidence alleging the involvement of Pakistan's intelligence agencies in rigging the country's upcoming elections, an aide said Monday.

Bhutto had been due to meet U.S. Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., and Rep. Patrick Kennedy, D-R.I., to hand over a report charging that the military Inter-Services Intelligence agency was planning to fix the polls in the favor of President Pervez Musharraf.

I dunno, something seems shaky on this. It's either on the Pakistani government side, or someone manipulating the media to make it look like the Pakistani side.

How are people explaining that btw?

Wait what? murdered Bin Laden?

 

[bob_arctor]

Wait what? murdered Bin Laden?

Yes. She very clearly says he was murdered. The general explanation by the naysayers, at least going by the comments on Youtube, is that she really meant to say "Daniel Pearl". Even though she never corrected herself, never missed a beat in saying it, and the interviewer never said anything either.

Edit: That section of the interview is straight up excised, censored, gone at the BBC website. Start watching at 5:00. :lol

Buddy, you're one of the anchors here. You live in substance. The only tin foil you deal in comes in Wrigley's wrappers. You've gotta do better than that. (good luck!)
