No Shock Here: Bhutto Murdered

RAWALPINDI, Pakistan —Fox News- [1] Pakistani opposition leader Benazir Bhutto was assassinated Thursday in a homicide attack that also killed at least 20 others at a campaign rally.Bhutto was shot in the neck and chest as she was entering her vehicle, and then the bomber blew himself up, FOX News has confirmed.The former prime minister died in Rawalpindi General Hospital, where she had been rushed to surgery. She was 54.”At 6:16 p.m. she expired,” said Wasif Ali Khan, a member of Bhutto’s party who was at the hospital.Her supporters at the hospital began chanting “Dog, Musharraf, dog,” referring to Pakistan’s president, Pervez Musharraf.

Well, that certainly didn’t take long.

In spite of the crowd, I’m not convinced Musharraf is responsible, or even wanted this….though I suspect and suppose there are a number who would like the world to think he was at the root of the attack.

And isn’t it interesting that this is being called a ‘murder’ and not a ‘suicide bomber’, as when they attack our troops, for example? The difference is, of course, that Musharraf has been at least marginally, a freind of the US, and therefore can be changed with Murder by the press with impunity. Charging Al Quieda with Murder, when they kill US troops,  is another matter, seemingly.

Ya’ever get the feeling there was some manipulation in the press?
