In the interview that took place in Pakistan Saturday morning, Musharraf tells 60 Minutes' Lara Logan, "For standing up outside the car, I think it was she to blame alone. Nobody else. Responsibility is hers." Bhutto was killed in the Pakistani city of Rawalpindi last week while standing up in a moving car with her head through the roof hatch. Check out the video to right for more of Musharraf's interview.

Stone Criminal Liar for Corporate Fascist Empire
Posted by: LookOut on Jan 6, 2008 10:50 PM   
Current rating: 5    [1 = poor; 5 = excellent]
Bhutto got snuffed not “for standing up” but for standing in the way of bloody “neo-con” empire that runs Musharraf and his ISI secret police in a Eurasian front for the CIA and CIA-Saudi created “Al-Qaeda”. A fraud that’s been priority one for a long, long time.

One rundown and others here:

Corporate criminal Fascists running this act will continue to use Eurasia and the Mid East in a standard extortion and protection racket against all sides. All paid for by an extremely gullible American public of course.

(So what else is new?)

I watched the 60 Minutes interview about Musharraf and I wanted to vomit. He was so smug and nonchalant in his responses, as if Benazir Bhutto was a persona non grata, as if she was a threat to the nation.
Well I hope his supporters are happy and can sleep at night, knowing her death will haunt him and Pakistan for years. He has made his bed; now he must lie in it.

"PrairieDogg'n" with bad security?... & what this means in Security-mad USA

I never hear anybody ask WHY she thought that would be safe or secure
WHAT ABOUT her security advisor?

She *knew* something was wrong with her security & that she needed better protection: WHY WAS SHE PRAIRIEDOGG'N?
convenient that Musharraf's previously tenuous grasp on gov't is now ironclad.
he was on the brink of *gone* & suddenly: "the Cheese stands alone."
you know what they say, "keep your enemies close"-within your reach, apparently.

now, imagine the SOCIAL CONSEQUENCE IF the KKK took a swing @ Obama or WE *were simply made to believe* someone *might*
you know, the way the US Congress believed there would be a Summer attack
or continues to reel under the Anthrax Killer

if you thought 9/11 sent Americans shrieking over the Brink
what would happen if the REAL Bushevik backers' desire was further reductions in freedoms & rights? what if Bush's backers want something sinister?

what if the point isn't POLITICAL PARTIES, but merely Security & Social Controls?

World's Top Surveillance Societies
"Privacy International, a UK privacy group, & the U.S.-based Electronic Privacy Information Center have put together a world map of surveillance societies, rating various nations for their civil liberties records.

Both the US... colored black for "endemic surveillance," as are Thailand, Taiwan, Singapore, Russia, China & Malaysia."

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA report
-No right to privacy in constitution, though search & seizure protections exist in 4th Amendment; case law on government searches has considered new technology
-No comprehensive privacy law, many sectoral laws; though tort of privacy
-FTC continues to give inadequate attention to privacy issues, though issued self-regulating privacy guidelines on advertising in 2007
-State-level data breach legislation has proven to be useful in identifying faults in security
-REAL-ID & biometric identification programs continue to spread without adequate oversight, research, & funding structures
-Extensive data-sharing programs across federal government & with private sector
-Spreading use of CCTV
-Congress approved presidential program of spying on foreign communications over U.S. networks, e.g. Gmail, Hotmail, etc.; & now considering immunity for telephone companies, while government claims secrecy, thus barring any legal action
-No data retention law as yet, but equally no data protection law
-World leading in border surveillance, mandating trans-border data flows
-Weak protections of financial & medical privacy; plans spread for 'rings of steel' around cities to monitor movements of individuals
-Democratic safeguards tend to be strong but new Congress & political dynamics show that immigration & terrorism continue to leave politicians scared & without principle
-Lack of action on data breach legislation on the federal level while REAL-ID is still compelled upon states has shown that states can make informed decisions
-Recent news regarding FBI biometric database raises particular concerns as this could lead to the largest database of biometrics around the world that is not protected by strong privacy law"

maybe the ELECTION & primaries is more about the Republicans picking the MOST BELIEVABLE Republican 'win'-& as wonderful as ANY Democrat might be
there is STILL ELECTION FRAUD.
Arrive with FIVE
& bring your vid'camera!

maybe there is more to this problem than simply WINNING back election integrity
