The day she was assassinated last Thursday, Benazir Bhutto had planned to reveal new evidence alleging the involvement of Pakistan's intelligence agencies in rigging the country's upcoming elections, an aide said Monday.
Bhutto had been due to meet U.S. Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., and Rep. Patrick Kennedy, D-R.I., to hand over a report charging that the military Inter-Services Intelligence agency was planning to fix the polls in the favor of President Pervez Musharraf.
Safraz Khan Lashari, a member of the Pakistan People's Party election monitoring unit, said the report was "very sensitive" and that the party wanted to initially share it with trusted American politicians rather than the Bush administration, which is seen here as strongly backing Musharraf.
What stands out the most for me in this report is that Bhutto put the Bush administration in the same category as Musharraf, who she believed was actively trying to do her harm.
So if this report had any damning evidence against the Bush administration was that a motive for them to give the okay to take Bhutto out?
What do you think?
and the evidence grows....that there was MUCH trouble afoot...more than we will ever know.....( I did think it was really odd that she was to meet with them that eve.....)
