" RAWALPINDI, Pakistan (CNN) -- Former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto's assassination was her own fault, the country's president, Pervez Musharraf, said in an interview on U.S. television. "For standing up outside the car, I think it was she to blame alone -- nobody else. Responsibility is hers," the former general told CBS' "60 Minutes" on Sunday."

Because Bhutto was outside of her car, then it's her fault that she was killed....

I know it's a different situation but it seems that it's like saying that because JFK was in a convertible than it was his fault that he was assassinated.

Sure, what she did was dangerous but she had also requested for more security which was denied. Quite a few people were pissed about her being denied the security.

it's a simple "blame the victim" mentality.

you know: "she was wearing a short skirt; she was asking to be raped", "he was walking with his wallet out; he was asking to be mugged", "she was standing through her sunroof; she was asking to be shot in the head by a sniper" type thing

but seriously

we all knew she was going to die

she just made it sooner rather than later

Pretty much. This guy saved the government the trouble of killing her. Kennedy was warned about riding in an open car too.

Not anymore.

yeah, and she probably knew that too. She re-entered Pakistan with full knowledge that it was very dangerous for her and her life was under constant threat, but she felt her cause was greater than that risk

likely killed by her own people, the woman was a fucking criminal. Her husband was arrested, jailed and exiled, her own father was put to a firing squard for embezzlement and corruption, and she was only just spared jailtime and exile.

^ Which means that she has just as much integrity as any other leader in the region.
