Only to be released if she was killed. Bhutto wasn't worried about al Qaeda. She could feel Musharraf breathing down her neck. I'm sure Musharraf resigned as leader of the army only after he was confident that he could win the election. A thorn by any other name is still a thorn.
Bhutto was an unpredictable complication. BUT. They knew who committed the crime before it was committed.
Ironic that she was on Stage.
The more I see the actions of the 'leaders' today the more I'm reminded of Lady Macbeth. "Out Damned Spot" she wailed as she tried to wash the blood off her hands.
The blood will never be washed off.
The halls of power are becoming Stately mausoleums.
