Which Bhutto eventually realized was good since it allegedly allowed Musharraf to go forward with their little deal that apparently included the dismissal of all corruption charges lodges in the judiciary against her -- an act that wouldn't have been possible without certain of the judges canned.

I gather that the government is trying to minimize its own blame in failing to prevent her killing, but I don't really see why it matters. I read her husband as saying that the official autopsy would be a sham in any event, which seems like a fair point.

This bit seemed implausible to me but the latest info I hear is that the government is going to retract the "she wasn't shot" statement and it's because of all the Youtube coverage out there showing "close" to the final moments and b/c it's only a matter of time before someone shows up with streaming video showing the bullet actually entering her head. And if government officials really said that bit about the sunroof handle and if it's true the vehicle didn't even have one......Musharraf is going to lose all credibility (even I was holding out hope for him). I sympathized with this man and what he was dealing with but Goddamn he has fucked up so badly with the assisination aftermath. Now I don't feel guilty for having had him as a Death Pool pick for one year.
