10. Coincidentally, just yesterday I watched FSTV's "Pirate Television" episode of Fatima Bhutto...

... that was on my PVR when she was speaking in Seattle on her book on what has happened in the history of Pakistan in the last half century, etc. Here's an online version of this:

From the way she was talking about how corrupt the government (even taking shots at her aunt Benazir Bhutto and her husband), it had been pretty common place for political murders of this sort all over the place there in recent years with warring "dynasties" there... So it doesn't seem to surprising that Musharraf might be guilty of this. Probably most surprising is that he's being charged and held accountable for it.

I still remember shortly after Benazir's assassination how mysteriously Benazir Bhutto's sister in law died in an auto accident on the way back from Benazir's funeral, as noted in this DU post then... The stories were being pulled then from their papers and it was hard to get the straight story of what happened in that incident as well. Kind of fits what Fatima says in her talk above. I wonder if Musharraf had anything to do with these deaths as well?
