Novakula also suggests that the Pakistani government murdered her. <em>And </em>he agrees with <a href="http://cliffschecter.bravenewfilms.org/blog/22927-blaming-al-qaeda-for-bhuttos-s-death-laughable">this post</a> that the assassination was not typical of an Al-Qaeda attack.</p><blockquote><p><strong>The assassination of Benazir Bhutto followed urgent pleas to the State Department for the last two months by her representatives for better security protection</strong>. The U.S. reaction was that <strong>she was worried over nothing, expressing assurance that Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf would not let anything happen to her.</strong> [...] It was, according to the written complaint, an attempt to <strong>preserve the politically endangered Musharraf as President Bush&#39;s man</strong> in Islamabad.</p></blockquote><p>Sound <a href="http://cliffschecter.bravenewfilms.org/blog/23131-bhutto-didn-t-trust-bush-with-sensitive-evidence-about-rigging-pakistan-elections">familiar</a>?</p><blockquote><p>When I last saw Bhutto in August in Manhattan, <strong>she was deeply concerned about U.S. ambivalence</strong> but asked me not to write about it. She had not heard from Musharraf for three weeks after their secret July meeting in Abu Dhabi. <strong>She feared the Pakistani strongman was not being prodded from Washington.</strong></p></blockquote><p>Why would Bush prod him? That might be construed as the <em>right</em> thing to do.</p><blockquote><p>In early December, a former Pakistani official supporting Bhutto visited <strong>a senior U.S. government official to renew her security requests. He got a brush-off,</strong> a mind-set reflected Dec. 6 in a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing.</p></blockquote>BushCo has so much blood on its hands, it makes the carnage in <a href="http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=17411076">Sweeney Todd</a> look like a paper cut.<br /><blockquote><p><strong>A more sinister fallout of a free hand from Washington for Pakistan might be Bhutto&#39;s murder.</strong> <strong>Neither her shooting last Thursday nor the attempt on her life Oct. 18 bore the classic al-Qaida trademark</strong>. After the carnage, <strong>government trucks used streams of water to clean up the blood and in the process destroy forensic evidence</strong>. If not too late, <strong>would an investigation by the FBI still be in order</strong>? </p><p><strong>Musharraf&#39;s critics say an election would be a sham with Bhutto dead.</strong></p></blockquote> <p>One thing we all understand: Bush&#39;s hand in a sham election, no matter where it is.&nbsp;</p></p> </div>
