Pakistan rejected foreign help in investigating the assassination of Benazir Bhutto on Saturday, despite controversy over the circumstances of her death and three days of paralyzing turmoil. The Islamic militant group denied any links to the killing, and Bhutto's aides accused the government of a cover-up.

    Guardian:

    Bhutto's Pakistan People's Party called a meeting Sunday expected to choose a new leader, decide whether to participate in Jan. 8 parliamentary elections and hear her last will and testament.

    If the party pulls out, it would destroy the credibility of the poll, already being boycotted by rival opposition leader Nawaz Sharif. The U.S. government has pressured Musharraf, who seized power in a coup eight years ago, to push ahead with the election to promote stability in this nuclear armed nation, a key ally against Islamic extremism.

      Op-Ed:

      We have every reason to doubt the Pakistan version of the assassination of Benazir Bhutto.

      We publicly disagree with the words of the British Foreign Secretary David Miliband whom has insisted there is no reason to doubt the Pakistani government.

      We have known first hand that American Special Forces and Navy Seals upon a number of occasions since 2001 have chased Islamic Extremists Militant groups within Afghanistan to the border of Pakistan. The American Pentagon ordered these American forces not to enter Pakistan, due to the politics of George W Bush.

        Op-Ed:

        The very fact that Pakistan refuses foreign assistance with

        skilled investigation is living proof of a cover-up. The old fashioned word for this is "GUILT".

        At the same time is living proof from the attitude of the present British Labor government, it too is compromised from within. Britain since 2001 has shared 'intelligence' with

        Pakistan. This vital data has fallen into the hands of Al Qaida.

        We urge members of both the American and British public to weigh this season with due care. Remember these days when you vote in a New Government.

      My opinion, it is a coverup! It takes a medical examiners more than a few hours, to determine the cause of a persons death!

        What do you mean? It doesn't take a medical examiner at all to determine if a person was shot to death. And why should anyone trust the United States to conduct an honest investigation? I trust Kim Jong Il more than I trust our own government.

        Nor do I think so-called democracy is the way to bring stability to Pakistan. President Carter's efforts to democratize Iran led to the Iranian revolution. Imagine if Ayatollah Khomeini had nuclear weapons.
