Re: The CIA assessment concurred - #By cyrena, January 18: “Then there is your standard other shit, (all common for psychotics of varying stripes) like MY ‘legal mind’...”

So disappointing that you failed to see that I did directly answer your question about who was responsible for the assassination of Benazir Bhutto, cyrena. The fact that I didn’t do so in 10 words or less might not sit comfortably with your imagined IQ, though.

That you maintain that your academic field is “Law and Society” yet you harass me with threats of “...I might one day be able to kick your ass into the next century...” is rather less palatable, though. Can you access professional counselling where you work? It would save me having to seek a restraining order.

Your utter inability to respond on this blog in a normal way that a normal or logically thinking person might indicates some issue you are having with your fantasies (or delusions). Frankly, I do NOT want to be the butt of your personal insults which have become quite creepy of late. Does your employer know about your behaviour?

But, in regard to this topic, it is interesting to note how legal minds in the USA are so essentially unbalanced as a result of supporting such an unconscionable regime as the Bush gangster administration. A recent history of Guantanamo, a fake attorney-general and a host of other human rights infringements has left them all rather disillusioned, to say the least.

Thus, the personal insecurity and low self-esteem and pathetic needy mentality sets them off on a tangent of further erroneous action. Sad, though, that it has become the new standard for your type, cyrena. It won’t take much, then, for the US “homeland” to evolve into a totalitarian state with such people in effective control.

Having paper qualifications is one thing. Having a sane mind is quite another. In the end, you will all surrender your minds and your souls to the Neocon god and the corporate machine as it reaches into your depths through fear and enticement - if it hasn’t already succeeded. It has already taken over the minds of many, as we know.

That you have all become unbalanced is one thing. The more violent are always the easiest to co-opt and control in the service of the state machine - just put them in uniform. Already being an officer of a corrupted court system, the veil of civilization is soon dispensed with. The Nazis knew this, uhh - you are so easily molded.

Eventually, you will be deliriously happy to do whatever you are told. You are already, to some degree with your instilled aggressions. Thus, the USA is not any different, really, from its “client states” of S.Arabia, Pakistan, Iraq or even the counter regimes of Russia and China. It is all an illusion cunningly designed to enslave you - and has done so for more than a century, already.

Intelligence officials on both sides of the Atlantic question al Qaeda role in Bhutto killing

http://rawstory.com/news/2007/Intelligence_officials_o n_both_sides_of_0118.html

“Pakistani president Pervez Musharraf, President Bush, CIA Director Michael Hayden, and news reports have all claimed that al Qaeda was responsible. However, some current and former US and British intelligence officials now say the evidence points instead to Pakistan’s Inter Services Intelligence Agency (ISI), the country’s security services.”
_

“… when asked about the allegations that Mehsud, and thus al Qaeda, is behind the assassination, one former high-ranking CIA case officer replied, “That is total bullshit.”

“US intelligence officials believe that the use of guns against multiple targets distinctly points AWAY from al Qaeda, whose standard methods of operation are designed to minimize the cost to the organization by causing the most damage possible from a single resource.
_

“The use of snipers and gunmen as assassins, say intelligence sources, does not support the theory that al Qaeda was behind the attacks. These sources added that if Mehsud was involved, it could have only been on contract through the ISI. One US official concluded that if “Mehsud is in fact behind this, then it would be more of an indictment against the ISI than against al Qaeda.”
_

“In the case of the Bhutto assassination, these sources view the shooting as an act of murder, not an act of terrorism ... they believe that the bombing that followed the shooting was aimed at eliminating the shooter and removing evidence of the assassination.”
_

“He [the shooter] was killed, probably not knowing that the suicide bomber was there,” said this source. “We don’t know for sure if the two men arrived together. We do know that the assassin died in the explosion, and was probably meant to.”

“Several other US intelligence officials concur that the bomber was likely “inserted” to “clean up” evidence of the shooting, including eliminating the gunman.”

“The real question for most of these sources is not “who,” but rather “how.” All of them are inclined to believe that factions of the ISI, either with or without the knowledge and backing of Musharraf, were involved in the assassination at the management level.
_

“Although the ISI has existed since the 1940s, it became truly a world player during the Afghan-Soviet war, when many groups of foreign fighters – the Mujahedeen – worked as proxy warriors for Western nations against the Russians and were managed through the ISI. The ISI recruited, trained, and even housed many of these young fighters as they were readied for battle. For its efforts, the ISI was paid by the West as well, as by other nations in the region, [*] including Saudi Arabia and Israel.”
_

[*] INSERT USA via CIA, which is why I am inclined to believe the former high-ranking CIA case officer, when he says the notion that al Qaeda did it is “total bullshit.”

ISI working with covert agents from elsewhere, including the US-CIA were players in the struggle for control of that area long before the Afghan-Soviet war. Al Qaeda is a relatively new [created] kid on the block. But serves well as the culprit behind the assassination, because al Qaeda is essential to keeping the deception of GWOT alive and well. 

In other words, if it comes from an official currently in favor with the rulers in DC ... it probably isn’t true!

However, the need to keep al-Qaeda at the surface of the collective American brain is!

We are all asking the wrong question. The question should be, WHO BENEFITS? The assassination certainly HAS NOT improved Musharaff’s image in the world!

Bhutto was murdered, not by “a” person, but by the collective ignorance and distorted attitude of a people numbed by decades of disinformation and lies.

This tragedy is not limited to 3rd world or “lesser” nations. It visits ALL nations who have failed to honestly embrace and practise a philosophy expressed in what is called the Golden Rule.

We must learn to LIVE together in peace or we will surely DIE together in a global conflagration. The choice is ours.

Little will be let known of Benazir Bhutto that who killed her?
A tragic loss for Pakistan; Certainly she fell a victim to the bigger Neocon’s games in this area.

Feeling deeply sorry for a bud; dwindled right on its stem before it could blossom.

Love for all, Hatred for none

What a surprise it was the Taliban.I am sure if it was Musharaff he would have turned himself in.Bring in international investrigators and have them give as honest an opinion as they can to who did it.To hear Musharaff and the CIA give their opinion on who did it could not be more irrelevant.

....her ambition ! She had been signed her death certificate herself ! So now just rest in peace (?).
