Bhutto - Her Other Side
<a href="http://video.msn.com/video.aspx?mkt=en-US&brand=msnbc&vid=d2ad6f64-c013-4b66-9769-f4c5fef45d3e" target="_new" title="Bhutto's other side"><img src="" border=0 alt="Bhutto's other side" width=112 height=84><br />Bhutto's other side</a>


Although she's presenting herself as Pakistan's savior, this video says during her two terms as Prime Minister, Amnesty Int'l said the human rights violations were the worst in Pakistan's history. She's also accused of taking $1.5 BILLION in kickbacks.

Poor Pakistan! Aren't there any other choices other than Musharraf or Bhutto?


video link is on top of her pic - kind of hard to see.

1. why, in a country of 165 million,
can they not come up with a politician who is not a slimeball? Choosing between Bhutto and Musharraf in an election is like choosing between two bowls of poop.

3. I was thinking the same thing. The former Bhutto regime sounds a BIT like
Saddams in that the moderate middle was doing okay, no overt warring I don't think (but I don't really know), but human rights took a beating.

7. Probably because people like are seen as a threat to those in power...
and are done away with before they get very far. Man, it seems like the human race puts more effort into destroying itself than any other endeavor.
