Is Bin Laden dead and is that why Bhutto is too?

::::::::

Last November 2nd in an interview with David Frost, Benazir Bhutto spoke of her initial assassination attempt when she first repatriated to Pakistan and who she thought may be responsible.

As you recall, the Bush administration was highly instrumental in negotiating a three way deal between Bush, Musharraf and Bhutto in allowing her to return to country. The deal was that if Bhutto threw her support to Musharraf, he would make her his new prime minister and drop all of the pending corruptions charges against her. As you'll also recall, Bush insisted in speeding up the elections there.

Also it has recently come out that while Bush was being very instrumental in repatriating Bhutto to Pakistan, he was also negotiating an arms deal with Musharraf, a deal that gave him a new squadron of top of the line jet fighters. That seems strange when on one hand Bush supports Bhutto's repatriation, which would seem to be an attempt to unseat Musharraf or at least put pressure on him, and on the other hand in the same time frame, he makes an arms deal as if Musharraf plans to remain there forever.

While the Bush Administration sees no need in helping in the investigation of Bhutto's assassination, seeing Scotland Yard and British Intelligence, being invited into the "investigation" by none other than Musharraf himself, as adaquate, it makes one wonder, especially in light of this interview, if everything we've seen leading up to the assassination and after the fact is deluge. Indeed the interview, it would seem, opens up a can of worms which can date all the way back to 9/11 and who knows, perhaps even before!

Well, speculations aside and to make a long story short, there isn't any more I could add as well as Bhutto herself already has. Here is a link to her interview with Frost, courtesy of Al Jazeera English. It has already been analyzed by experts as undoctored and in it, (and most importantly) she mentions by name the man who murdered Osama Bin Laden. See 6:11 into the interview.
