Wowzers.

"Be honest about what you see, get out of the way and let the story reveal itself."

Ah, right.

It's certainly not unexpected that reporters covering the presidential campaigns would try to spin this so that they get news out of it.

Yeah, but I think that headline sorta crosses a line.

Bush and Condi brought her back to Pakistan. Why couldn't they assign some Blackwater guards?

[Agi]

Can't you see the blood dripping from her hands?!?

[Roxanne]

I can't tell the difference between the Bhutto blood and the Vince Foster blood.

I hadn't seen the provocative CNN piece before. Asking the question is so irresponsible. Axelrod didn't say that Clinton was responsible. Axelrod said Clinton voted for the war in Iraq, which has taken our eye off the ball in the hotbeds of Pakistan and Afghanistan. Clinton's not to blame. But US Foreign Policy has contributed to instability, and all of the major candidates (Edwards, Dodd, Biden, Clinton) voted to support the Bush Foreign Policy.

CNN is totally inflammatory in this whole process. Wolf Blitzer reads an email in October from Bhutto last night that she wrote in October saying, "I blame Musharraf if something happens to me." But no one is actually doing journalism and finding out what the investigation reveals.

All of this speculation, "analysis", and conjecture is not only misleading. It's dangerous.

She was also probably intimate with Bhutto, which doubtless factored into the murder.

This is without a doubt the dumbest foreign policy claim I've heard Obama make. (I have to split his dumb claims into domestic and foreign b/c nothing can top the Social Security nonsense.) One of the problems with Pakistan is arguably that we were too involved in it. I will never forget hearing the fabulous Condi smugly testifying that the administration was perfectly positioned to fight the War on Everything b/c they had brought Pakistan into the fold - clearly suggesting that the Clinton White House had failed to accomplish that crucial step. I think that Pakistan's problems are largely her own, but I wish that something had been able to distract BushCo from meddling around there.

Someone ostensibly named "Reza Aslan", a "contributor" to Anderson Cooper's blogsite, brought this up.

Not Cooper. Not even CNN.
When and where was this used as a CNN "headline"?

Are you talking about on-air? I would seriously doubt that.

And that means that one person, a "contributor" wrote it, and one of Obama's people picked it up and decided it be a stick to beat Clinton with. Going back to the start of it, we all know that EVERY blog has people hanging around who are not playing with a full deck.

Criticizing Obama for having one of his people jump on it, is certainly fair, but it looks to me like CNN is talking about the whole pissfight; NOT flacking that "Hillary killed Bhutto".
