BREAKING NEWS: Pakistani opposition leader and former Prime Minister assassinated

Benazir Bhutto, chief Pakistani opposition leader, former Prime Minister and vocal critic of General Musharraf's recent actions, was assassinated today:

Ms. Bhutto, 54, was shot in the neck or head, according to differing accounts, as she stood in the open sunroof of a car and waved to crowds. Seconds later a suicide attacker detonated his bomb, damaging one of the cars in her motorcade, killing more than 20 people and wounding 50, the Interior Ministry said.

News of her death sent angry protesters swarming the emergency ward of the nearby hospital, where doctors declared Ms. Bhutto dead at 6:16 p.m. Supporters later jostled to carry her bare wooden coffin as it began its journey to her hometown, Larkana, in southern Pakistan, for burial. In Karachi and other cities, frenzied crowds vented their rage, blocking the streets, burning tires and throwing stones.

A nuclear power has the head of the army declare martial law, oust their Supreme Court Justices, flout democratic rule, and then the opposition leader is assassinated while leaving a political rally... This is what should be getting attention, not Iran.

Oh, that's right, admitting the situation's bad in Pakistan would entail The White House admitting they made a grave error in trusting and aiding Musharraf. Silly me, thinking The White House would admit to their mistakes.
