Bhutto arrested/detained/blocked (or cooperating.)

Benazir Bhutto was stopped from leaving her home today ahead of a supposed opposition march in Rawalpindi. The curious thing to me is that the various news sources can't seem to agree on exactly what happened, whether she was blocked, detained, or put under house arrest.

The NYTimes had the most interesting theory.

Behind the scenes, however, the strategies for both sides for the day were probably worked out in advance, analysts said, in order to give each side a face-saving way to avoid a potentially bloody clash on the streets.....

In another sign of what seemed like behind-the-scenes co-ordination between Ms. Bhutto and the authorities, Ms. Bhutto’s voice came over official Pakistani television at 4 p.m. this afternoon as she made a long speech setting out her demands. A still picture of her appeared on the screen while she spoke.
