Yes, her and the 20 others. Sorta like all the people on 9/11 died when their heart stopped.
Hey, think about who has to gain the most ... The answer resoundingly is ... Al Qaida.
Cool.

Al-Qaeda denied responsibility.  Usually they don't tend to do this when assassinating a world leader.

I heard that too over the weekend. Fine upstanding organisation that is, no doubt about that ... I dont know why we shouldn't trust them 100% ...  ...
But ... Yes on the denying responsibility part, makes you think if there wasn't a rouge cell, or a spin off group somewhere that was contracted to do this.
Cool.

It's not a matter of trust...it's a matter of what they stand to gain by admitting it.  I can't think of a single Al-Qaeda attack they didn't claim responsibility for.  In a sick way, it helps their recruitment.

not to add fuel, but I find it hilarious that some non-US politician gets killed and we spend a ton of time talking about it.  and while talking about it we Buddha Loves You about Bush and "his" foreign policy (which we learned from the media who is always right) and in the process invovle the mexican invasion and the so called "oil crisis" which may or maynot exist.  In the midst of this we discuss who may or may not have killed the politician and the fact that we will never know the truth.

How in the world are we suppoed to elect a President if we may or may not get the whole or some of the truth from the media about their platform?  Oh, and how in the hell can we trust any individual politician to make a decision on the war in iraq when they probably don't know what is going on over their either?  Last, but never least, how in God's name can we begin to address the problems with mexico, afganistan, iraq, bin laden, and whatever else when we can't even seem to properly educate our own teenagers that sex=babies that they aren't ready for (mini-spears). 

Hmm.  Sounds to me like we are culturally riding in the dark without headlights on.

Happy New Year!

Man, they killed a muslim woman one that had populist support or atleast was one of the people's favorties ...
Why would they admit it, lets say they did it to prevent democracy in pakisthan or to extend Musharraff's rule who was their backer. Then taking credit for it will have totally made people revolt and throw Musharraff out.
They dont have a reason to do it, which is why they did it at Musharraff's direction or they were paid off by Musharraff. I'd not take credit unless it was a killing due to principle.
Cool.
