Clinton calls for probe of Bhutto killing

By Ellen Wulfhorst 1 hour, 59 minutes ago

STORY CITY, Iowa (Reuters) - Democrat Hillary Clinton called on Friday for an international probe of Benazir Bhutto's killing and candidates in both parties sparred over foreign policy six days before Iowa kicks off a close presidential nominating race.


Clinton, battling rivals Barack Obama and John Edwards for the lead in Iowa, questioned the reliability of Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf's government after opposition leader Bhutto's assassination.

"I don't think the Pakistani government at this time under President Musharraf has any credibility at all," Clinton said in an interview with CNN as she campaigned across Iowa. "Therefore I am calling for a full independent international investigation."

5. Doing good ... sick but good
Spending time w/ my son over Xmas break (he is 13) and
playing w/ our black lab ... life is good.

******************

So Clinton wants a brutal dictator to allow investigations into his crimes?
Boy there is a non-starter of an idea. Why not ask Rove to come clean
about Ohio 2004.

4. The Senator went on to add,
"I would like to think that our State and Justice departments could be of some help, but we must remember that someone tried to kill two US Senators in 2002 using Anthrax, and the Bush administration is still looking for that culprit."

Since we're dreaming ;-)

7. Seriously, who would investigate?
... Full independent, international investigation - who would conduct such a thing? I shudder to think the U.N.
We all know that anything worth investigating domestically has been shielded behind National Security, so, yes, obvious dead end - well put Binka.
It is clear the Pakistani people think Mush had a hand in it - they are not buying that it was just extremists.
Watch as Mush asks Bush for more $$ to fight extremism - and gets it.
