Why She Died 4.0

From the Times of India ...

In a dramatic U-turn, Pakistan government has "apologised" for claiming that former premier Benazir Bhutto died of a skull fracture after hitting the sunroof of her car during a suicide attack.

Caretaker Interior Minister Hamid Nawaz Khan has asked the media and people to "forgive and ignore" comments made by his ministry's spokesman Javed Iqbal Cheema which were slammed by her Pakistan People's Party as "lies" and led to an uproar at home and abroad.

The Interior Minister made the apology during a briefing for Pakistani newspaper editors on Monday.

...

The government's apparent damage control exercise on Cheema's comments made at a news conference a day after Bhutto was assassinated at Liaquat Bagh in Rawalpindi on December 27, came after TV channels aired privately shot photos and video footage which showed a gunman shooting at Bhutto.

The Pakistan People's Party leader is seen in the footage falling through the sun-roof before the suicide bomber detonated his explosives.

3. Accident victim? Or martyr?

Big difference in Pakistan.

I think they were simply buying time until the populace cooled down.

6. They seem to be on a "teeter totter" trying to figure out the balance

at this point. And, Blitzer and the rest were tottering along with teetering waiting to see how the NeoCons want them to spin it all...with a little CIA Gossip in for spice in the story...and then there's the Bushies who aren't NeoCons all wound up in it along with their Puppet.

4. Forgive and ignore?

:eyes: Please. I'm sure they'll let us know next time they try and pass a big fat lie off to the people. Sorry, no credibility. Just like Mushy's friend in the Oval Office.
