Its just possible that ...
Pervez Musharraf has today allowed as how it is just possible that Benazir Bhutto died as a result of one or more gunshot wounds to the head and neck. Up until today the official line was skull fracture -- the "lever theory".
Something worth reading is this -- The future of democracy in Pakistan, by Asif Ali Zardari, the husband of Benazir Bhutto and a former Pakistani senator, and co-chairman of the Pakistan People's Party. Recall that Wes Clarke wanted to turn the hunt for OBL over to the Saudis, which is the equivalent of using foreign troops to end the political autonomy of a portion of "Pakistan" that has not been under the complete control of the Punjabi military since the Partition of British India, so daftness abounds in all things Pakistani even on the the left hand side of the dial.
Today the Daily Times (Lahore) has a SECOND EDITORIAL: PPP's report on pre-rigging
The PPP Election Cell has unsealed a report that the late PPP leader Ms Benazir Bhutto was going to send to the US revealing the role of the state intelligence agencies in what is called "pre-rigging". The 45-page report graphically describes the activities of one state agency in Balochistan, clearly aimed at boosting the PMLQ candidate in Dera Bugti while eliminating his opponents through intimidation and such devices as abductions. One candidate was unable to file his candidature because he simply "disappeared". Also, in the 45 districts of Punjab -- especially Chakwal, Bahawalpur, Attock and Lahore -- the nazims were found actively engaged in boosting PMLQ candidates.
The PML-Q is part of the Musharaff government. I've written several times in the past on Baluchistan, the category is Is Pakistan?.
Oh! Surprise! (not). The Bush Regime just floated (via the ever-accommodating Gray Lady) the news that it is considering expanding covert military and intelligence operations in Pakistan.
