Missing the Boat
I'm still trying to figure out what former first-lady and presently junior Senator from the State of New York could possibly have in mind when suggesting an international investigation into the murder of PPP chairperson Benazir Bhutto. It is a reasonable political posture to make, to look tough and set up the personal narrative of Hillary vs Mushy, but it isn't substantive. The UNSC can't possibly vote without a veto by China, to impose a foreign investigation, which may be a multi-lateral facade in the best of circumstances, so that leaves ... a bilateral facade or the best that expectations of rule of law can accomplish.
Assistant Inspector-General of CID Chaudhry Abdul Majeed and a four-member police team started investigation into the assassination of Benazir Bhutto. They hope to identify the people who forced Ms. Bhutto's car to stop while she was leaving the rally. They may not come to the same cause-of-death conclusion that the government came to within minutes of the execution of the assassination operation at Liaquat Bagh.
Pakistanis will have to work around the domestic minefield of the Army, the SIS, the domestic bombers, and the comforting myth of a foreign bomber, its their Bush vs Gore, their case that can't be cited.
I'm much more impressed with former Vice-Presidential nominee Edwards telephoning General Musharaff, which puts all the rigged election cards on the table, even if none are face up.
