Bhutto Adviser: Musharraf Is To Blame
By Spencer Ackerman
A longtime adviser and close friend of assassinated Pakistani ex-prime
minister Benazir Bhutto places blame for Bhutto's death squarely on
the shoulders of U.S.-supported dictator Pervez Musharraf.
After an October attack on Bhutto's life in Karachi, the ex-prime
minister warned "certain individuals in the security establishment
[about the threat] and nothing was done," says Husain Haqqani, a
confidante of Bhutto's for decades.
"There is only one possibility: the security establishment and
Musharraf are complicit, either by negligence or design. That is the
most important thing. She's not the first political leader killed,
since Musharraf took power, by the security forces."
Haqqani notes that Bhutto died of a gunshot wound to the neck.
"It's like a hit, not a regular suicide bombing," he says.
"It's quite clear that someone who considers himself Pakistan's
Godfather has a very different attitude toward human life than you and
I do."
As for what comes next:
Haqqani doubts that Musharraf will go forward with scheduled
elections.
"The greatest likelihood is that this was aimed not just aimed at
Benazir Bhutto but at weakening Pakistan's push for democracy," he
says.
"But the U.S. has to think long and hard. Musharraf's position is
untenable in Pakistan. More and more people are going to blame him for
bringing Pakistan to this point, intentionally or unintentionally.
It's very clear that terrorism has increased in Pakistan. It's quite
clear that poverty has increased in Pakistan. ... anti-Americanism
might come in, as people say, 'You know what, why should we support
this [pro-U.S.] regime that has not delivered anything to us?'"
Growing emotional, Haqqani says people should know that "Benazir
Bhutto was a very warm person. She was a very strong and courageous
person, a very forgiving person. To have gone what she went through --
her father assassinated by one military dictator [General Zia ul-Haq],
her two brothers assassinated, no one in the elite fully loyal to
her... The whole Pakistani security establishment thinks Pakistan
should be governed as a national-security state. She resisted that
completely, and that doesn't get seen enough. She questioned their
right to govern."

Musharraf despised her, and now she is dead. I do not think Bush cares
one way or the other about her death, but I do not think Bush liked
her either. They are both woman-haters.
She might be alive today, however, if Bush had not stirred-up this
hornet's nest once again, by getting the USA involved in this
situation to begin with. I blame Bush partly for her death.

Well, not surprisingly the blame Bush crowd comes out of the woodwork
quicker than I thought. I wondered what you clowns would lay blame on
first - Bush or global warming.

Bush's support for a dictator is what brought Butto back to Pakistan
and got her killed.
So yes, Bush does hold some responsiblity.
If only Bush would live up to his pronouncements on spreading
Democracy.

Harry, you plan on spamming about another muslim martyr's suicide for
a few days? He died for a good (political) cause, didn't he Harry?
You got the right newsgroups, huh Harry?
Tell me Harry, is it true that a (hirabah) muslim propaganda jihadist
(jihad bil lisan) will make up any lie, or distort any truth, to
defeat America?
