“I kind of doubt that they do know exactly what happened”

The initial news report from the hospital doctors was two gunshot wounds. That was changed by a government spokesman to hitting her head on the sunroof lever due to the explosion, which by the miracle of eyewitness video is now known to be a baldfaced lie.

The most charitable possible explanation is that the government official responsible for her security panicked, and came up with the cover story to hide his incompetence. But then how did he get the whole government to quickly agree to the lie? So it smells to me like something even worse than that.

Innocent people act innocent, and guilty people act guilty. If the Pakistani government didn’t actually murder Benazir Bhutto, they need to right now legally prosecute the official who came up with the false cover story, and apologize to the Bhutto family.

You said — “The initial news report from the hospital doctors was two gunshot wounds. That was changed by a government spokesman to hitting her head on the sunroof lever due to the explosion, which by the miracle of eyewitness video is now known to be a baldfaced lie.”

We’ve got our own government speaking all sorts of contradictory statements, all the time. We hear from some general over in Iraq, then get a report from the CIA, and then an official over in Iraq says something different, and then the White House press meeting says something completely different again. Where have you been? It happens over here all the time... LOL!

I wouldn’t expect Pakistan to do much better than we do in this country... :-)

And then you said — “Innocent people act innocent, and guilty people act guilty.”

Well, that should make it real easy for our police, prosecutors, judges and juries. LOL!

We’ll just tell them, “Remember now... innocent people act innocent and guilty people act guilty. As long as you remember that, you’ll always get the guilty ones...”

That should save us a lot of investigation costs... :-)
