Quote : | " RAWALPINDI, Pakistan (CNN) -- Former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto's assassination was her own fault, the country's president, Pervez Musharraf, said in an interview on U.S. television.
"For standing up outside the car, I think it was she to blame alone -- nobody else. Responsibility is hers," the former general told CBS' "60 Minutes" on Sunday." |

Because Bhutto was outside of her car, then it's her fault that she was killed....
I know it's a different situation but it seems that it's like saying that because JFK was in a convertible than it was his fault that he was assassinated.

Sure, what she did was dangerous but she had also requested for more security which was denied. Quite a few people were pissed about her being denied the security. 1/7/2008 10:19:10 AM |

it's a simple "blame the victim" mentality.
you know: "she was wearing a short skirt; she was asking to be raped", "he was walking with his wallet out; he was asking to be mugged", "she was standing through her sunroof; she was asking to be shot in the head by a sniper" type thing 1/7/2008 10:23:09 AM |

Pretty much. This guy saved the government the trouble of killing her. Kennedy was warned about riding in an open car too. 1/7/2008 10:32:28 AM |

yeah, and she probably knew that too. She re-entered Pakistan with full knowledge that it was very dangerous for her and her life was under constant threat, but she felt her cause was greater than that risk1/7/2008 11:38:21 AM |

likely killed by her own people, the woman was a fucking criminal. Her husband was arrested, jailed and exiled, her own father was put to a firing squard for embezzlement and corruption, and she was only just spared jailtime and exile. 1/7/2008 11:42:42 AM |
