Ridiculous Pakistani Government Assertions!!!
How stupid do they assume we all are?!!
From the Associated Press:
"Authorities on Thursday said Bhutto died from bullet wounds fired by a young man who then blew himself up, killing 20 other people. A surgeon who treated her said Friday she died from the impact of shrapnel on her skull.
But later Friday, Interior Ministry spokesman Javed Iqbal Cheema said all three shots missed her as she greeted supporters through the sunroof of her vehicle, which was bulletproof and bombproof.
He also denied that shrapnel caused her death, saying Bhutto was killed when she tried to duck back into the vehicle, and the shock waves from the blast knocked her head into a lever attached to the sunroof, fracturing her skull.."
The clear implication by Pakistani government officials is that Benazir Bhutto is somehow the cause of her own death, that she wasn't murdered.
Imagine the following on an episode of CSI:
"I'm sorry the Department will have to release him (the suspect). Apparently, she (the victim) was killed when she ducked to avoid his bullets and a bomb went off. Her head smacked against the wall when the bomb went off. He obviously isn't the killer. There was no murder here, just a horrible accidental death..."
Um, yeah... ..about as 'accidental' as me dying if someone tossed a plugged in toaster into my bathwater!
'It wasn't the electricity that killed him, it was his heart stopping'
This IS the VERY SAME Pakistani government that repeatedly turned down specific security requests by Bhutto and her team!
First, she died of spinal cord damage resulting from gunshot wounds to her chest and head:
"Bhutto was rushed into surgery. A doctor on the surgical team said a bullet in the back of her neck damaged her spinal cord before exiting from the side of her head. Another bullet pierced the back of her shoulder and came out through her chest, he said on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media. She was given an open-heart massage, but the spinal cord damage was too great, he said."
Then the same Interior Ministry, now saying she died from her 'fall', blamed it on just a gunshot wound to her neck:
"Pakistan Peoples Party Chairperson Benazir Bhutto died of bullet wound in neck by a suicide bomber, Interior Ministry Spokesman said here Thursday. He said the suicide bomber fired at the PPP chairperson when she was waving to the crowd from the sun-roof of her vehicle minutes after addressing the public gathering at Liaquat Bagh. Later, the killer blew himself up at the spot killing over 20 people and injuring more than 50 persons."
Now, she basically 'accidentally' killed herself!?
To steal a line from 'Apocalypse Now!':
"Oh man, the shit piled up so fast in [Pakistan] you needed wings to stay above it."
Give us a F_in break!
