BBC Censored Benazir Bhutto's Reports that Bin Laden Had Been Murdered

When a news organization as venerable as the BBC censors the reportage of a story as important as the assassination of Benzir Bhutto --a highly visible critic of Bush/British policy with regard to the "War on Terrorism" et al --it is fair to ask: who is the BBC protecting? Are they covering up the motive for her murder? Are they protecting the regimes that engineered her assassination?

Here is the original, unedited version in which Bhutto states that Bin Laden had been murdered.

Here is the BBC's Censored version.

Bhutto herself has exposed a motive for her murder. Solving the case is a matter of finding the gunmen whom Hilary Clinton thinks may be found found among Pakistani troops.

CLINTON, Iowa - Hillary Rodham Clinton waded into Pakistan's volatile internal political situation yesterday, raising the possibility the country's military might have assassinated Benazir Bhutto because the killing took place in the garrison city of Rawalpindi.

Clinton's remarks came as Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf's government seemed to reject a call for an independent international investigation of the murder that Clinton and John Edwards proposed on Friday................

1. I wondered the same thing, when I saw that.

Was she murdered for exposing the assassination of bin Laden?

4. Why? Who cares?

His people aren't complaining about it. Ours aren't. He's as useful a propaganda tool for both sides dead or alive, apparently.

2. We can't be the only people who have seen that video -- but nobody in the

media, our candidates, whatever, acknowledges it in any way. :shrug:

But regardless of whether he himself is dead or alive, we're still confronted with like-minded people intent on jihad.

3. It seems like if BinLaden was dead and she knew about it

then others would know also and there would be more publicity about the death. As it is there has been very little even on the internets about him being dead and certainly not much hard evidence.

So unless she had some real evidence I don't think it is enough of a threat to kill her for. Her claims could be easily ignored.

There's probably other reasons.

5. The fact that the city was a garrison city has been mentioned before.

Bhutto said it. She said that they should have no trouble protecting her because of the resources there are in this garrison city.

There needs to be an independent investigation.

6. How cleverly you have seized upon the least relevant detail.

I'm guessing you find the National Treasure movies plausible.
