Blitzer Exclusive: Bhutto Blames Musharraf

Today on "The Situation Room," Wolf Blitzer revealed an exclusive e-mail he received from Benazir Bhutto's US spokesman Mark Siegel in October. "This is a story she wanted me to tell the world on her behalf if she were killed," Blitzer said, before reading the e-mail.

In the e-mail, Bhutto wrote that, if anything were to happen to her, "I wld [sic] hold Musharaf [sic] responsible. I have been made to feel insecure by his minions, and there is no way what is happening in terms of stopping me from taking private cars or using tinted windows or giving jammers or four police mobiles to cover all sides cld [sic] happen without him."

For the record, Wolf did not have an "exclusive­." He received a copy of Mrs Bhutto's email to Mark Siegel when all other media outlets received it. The first report I heard was on NPR's All Things Considered, which I'll listen to any time before I tune into commercial TV infotainment.

I blame Wolf Blitzer as much as I do Musharraf fot this.Sidin­g with the Bush family, Wolf Blitzer built up Musharraf at the expence of Bhutto....­and the millions of people on her side.

Why can't the United States of America be a country that other' can look up to and thE people thaT COME ARE MET NOT AS SDTRANGERS. nOW 0N THE REPUBLICAN SIDE, WHY NOT ENSLAVE THE mEXICANS WHILE WE HAVE THE CHANCE.

Once again A government blames Al Qaeda for all of its Woes. When will the people learn, well it is already too late. We, in the U.S. will not recognize this place in another 15 to 20 years. You can blame it all on those God Fearing Red States....­jeesh, voting against their own interest, I mean, how stupid can you be....

Fuck everybody except Ron Paul!!!!

Wolf Blitzer Report just gets a chance at democracy so much farther in Pakistan. Wolf Blitzer is a cause of world misery.Wol­f only does what the Big corporations tell him to. Wolf Blitzer is a liar.

Blitzer is the least reliable of the major prime time "journalists". He seems to want always to be the "show". The supreme "suck up" where necessary. The one who also always plants the most leading questions.
He talks like he is a corporate shill. He sounds the same. His body language says so too. I figure he is probably a corporate shill, and I choose to treat him as such.
I would take the BBC over him anytime.

I'd be extreeeeeemely dubious about anything coming out of the White House, State or Musharaff. MSM and Neocons are all jumping on the Al Qaeda did it bandwagon. Come to think of it, I'd also be dubious about anything coming out of Al Qaeda or folks who claim to speak for Al Qaeda. This murder was just too politically convenient for Bush and his Band of Despicables.

Memo to self: New personal motto: "Be dubious."

Finger pointing from the grave. Via email, no less.

Still, Bhutto chose to wade into unfiltered crowds, despite the real and known risks.

And no, I am not blaming her for her own demise.
