What a waste of national resources...that goddamned shithole as as
many liars as Florida, New York. and DC have lawyers. Those
fundamentalist islamic wackos sure know how to play Uncle Sam for the
sucker he is.
It's time to blitzkrieg the ****ing border, drag bin Laden and Co. out
of their holes, detach their heads and put them on the ends of sticks,
and call it a day.
While we're at it, give Musharraf the boot; prosecute him and his
right hand flunkies, and after they are found guilty, hang the
bastards!
Sources: Bhutto was to give U.S. lawmakers vote-rigging report
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (CNN) -- On the day she died, Benazir Bhutto
planned to hand over to visiting U.S. lawmakers a report accusing
Pakistan's intelligence services of a plot to rig parliamentary
elections, sources close to the slain former Pakistani prime minister
told CNN Tuesday.
Rep. Patrick Kennedy and Rep. Arlen Specter were scheduled to meet
with Bhutto on the day she died.
A top Bhutto aide who helped write the report showed a copy to CNN.
"Where an opposing candidate is strong in an area, they [supporters of
President Pervez Musharraf ] have planned to create a conflict at the
polling station, even killing people if necessary, to stop polls at
least three to four hours," the document says.
The report also accused the government of planning to tamper with
ballots and voter lists, intimidate opposition candidates and misuse
U.S.-made equipment to monitor communications of opponents.
"Ninety percent of the equipment that the USA gave the government of
Pakistan to fight terrorism is being used to monitor and to keep a
check on their political opponents," the report says.
The Pakistani government denied the allegations, with two Pakistani
diplomatic sources calling the report "baseless." Rashid Qureshi, a
spokesman for Musharraf, called the accusations "ridiculous" and said
the election will be "free, fair and transparent."
"I think they are just a pack of lies," he said.
One Bhutto source said the document was compiled at her request and
said the information came from sources inside the police and
intelligence services.
The election had been scheduled for January 8, but in the wake of
Bhutto's assassination, the Election Commission is expected to
announce Wednesday that it will delay the vote at least four weeks
into February, sources at the commission said.
Sen. Latif Khosa, who helped put the report together, accused the
powerful Inter-Services Intelligence of operating a rigging cell from
a safe house in the capital, Islamabad. The goal, he said, is to
change voting results electronically on election day.
"The ISI has set up a mega-computer system where they can hack any
computer in Pakistan and connect with the Election Commission," he
said.
Media outlets in Pakistan, India and Bangladesh have run reports
alleging that retired Brig. Gen. Ejaz Shah -- formerly an Inter-
Services Intelligence officer and now head of the civilian
Intelligence Bureau -- is involved in the vote rigging plans.
Shah's name also turned up in a letter Bhutto wrote to Musharraf after
the first attempt on her life on October 18, when she returned to
Pakistan after eight years in exile, Pakistani media reported. In the
letter, the media reported, Shah was one of four Pakistani officials
Bhutto named as people who wanted her dead.
The Pakistan government has denied those allegations as well.
Khosa said he could make no link between Bhutto's assassination and
the report. Some terrorism experts also said there was no reason to
believe Bhutto was killed because of the report, agreeing with
Pakistani government contentions that al Qaeda was responsible for her
death.
