The very last report on NBC when I was watching said that she was also shot in the head and that the head shot was the one that killed her.

I noticed “head” was also included in the last photo post we had on this thread - “neck, chest and head.”

What news outlet are you following? I just started listening to BBC radio and haven’t heard anything like this yet except that people were attacking the PML-Q HQ in Islamabad. Thanks.

You said — “What’s with so many FReepers ready to blame Mushariff?”

Yeah..., armchair political and military analysts... to be sure.. LOL!

And then, you said — “Seems like AQ terrorists, to this poster.”

Most certainly so, especially since al Qaida has claimed responsibility for it. And al Qaida and Mushariff are not friends, at all...

THis could spin out of control very quickly.

I realize that I am very much a hawk and pre-emptive strike person -- but if I were in charge at the Pentagon I would have people putting together a plan right now to insert Special forces troops to take security control and protection of the Pakistani Nuclear stores and facilities.

Anything from Ron Paul? I’m expecting him to suggest that the US should step in and purchase all of Pakistan’s nuclear arms.

So was it “terrorists” or the All the President’s Men (OF Pakistan) who decided to remove a dangerous political opponent or a female acting outside of her acceptable Islamic role?

We need to build a very high, very long wall all around every Islamic country, take all the Muslims outside the wall and send them back into the wall and ignore them until they evolve into civilized human beings - in maybe two or three thousand years.

The US has had people there to help the Pakistanis guard the nukes. Let's hope we have enough.
