WASHINGTON: The husband of slain former premier Benazir Bhutto has claimed that doctors who tried to revive her after a suicide attack "clearly stated" that they saw the entry and exit wounds of a bullet on her head, contradicting Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf, who said there was a wound only on one side.

"The doctors who first tried to revive her (Bhutto) had clearly stated that they saw bullet wounds entry and exit. The doctors were then threatened and hushed up. The authorities have all along been trying to cover up and changed their versions," Asif Ali Zardari said in an interview to The Washington Times.

Musharraf had earlier said in an interview that there is "no bullet wound other than on the right side......A bullet wound is a small hole, and if the bullet goes through it makes a big hole on the other side".

1. Not if it is a magic bullet

Those have all sorts of amazing properties, and are generally preferred for assassinations.

2. Doctors! What the hell do they know?

When the dictator speaks you MUST believe.

3. I'm not understanding the significance of the contradications.

Why would Musharraf challenge this view?

4. Wow, she really whacked her head hard on the sunroof ...

if it caused bullet entry and exit wounds. ;-)

6. Why split these hairs, exactly? What's Musharraf's motivation?

How does he benefit from a grazing as opposed to a direct hit? :crazy:

7. Preventing Benazir's Martyrdom

The Establishment has a great deal to lose if Benazir becomes a martyr - they are simply trying to denigrate her as a martyr icon to the PPP. This is important; her successors could use her murder as a serious political weapon. This is why killing inconvenient people is a bad political policy; just look at the way JFK has been near deified here. It is much more prevalent in Asian cultures.
