Rumor and fact in Pakistan

Much like the actual mode of Bhutto's death, perception matters as much as reality.

Benazir Bhutto was poised to reveal proof that Pakistan's election commission and shadowy spy agency were seeking to rig an upcoming general election the night she was assassinated, a top aide said on Tuesday.....

Senator Latif Khosa, who authored a 160-page dossier with Bhutto documenting rigging tactics, said they ranged from intimidation to fake ballots, and were in some cases unwittingly funded by U.S. aid.

Unwittingly.....

Also, (WaPo) "Pakistani authorities have pressured the medical personnel who tried to save Benazir Bhutto's life to remain silent about what happened in her final hour and have removed records of her treatment from the facility, according to doctors....."

(CNN) "Minallah told CNN that he was speaking out because the doctors at the hospital were "threatened."

(And the elections will be postponed. New date announced Wed.)
