Can't say I blame her.
How interesting that Benazir Bhutto felt the way a lot of us do, and about the very same thing...rigging elections:
The day she was assassinated last Thursday, Benazir Bhutto had planned to reveal new evidence alleging the involvement of Pakistan's intelligence agencies in rigging the country's upcoming elections, an aide said Monday.
Bhutto had been due to meet U.S. Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., and Rep. Patrick Kennedy, D-R.I., to hand over a report charging that the military Inter-Services Intelligence agency was planning to fix the polls in the favor of President Pervez Musharraf.
Safraz Khan Lashari, a member of the Pakistan People's Party election monitoring unit, said the report was "very sensitive" and that the party wanted to initially share it with trusted American politicians rather than the Bush administration, which is seen here as strongly backing Musharraf.
Can't say as I blame them.
{Safraz Khan Lashari, a member of the Pakistan People's Party election monitoring unit}, said the report claimed that
U.S. aid money was being used to fix the elections. Ballots stamped in favor of the Pakistan Muslim League-Q, which supports Musharraf, were to be produced by the intelligence agencies in about 100 parliamentary constituencies.
So now BushCo money is being used to expand election fraud to other countries. Let's hope if it happens here again, SuperObama, or SuperHill, or SuperJohn, will whoop 'em once and for all.
