Bhutto supposedly had evidence that Musharraf was planning to rig the upcoming elections. There's so much smoke around this assassination that we'll never know the truth. Because of Bhutto's corruption, her death may help democracy in Pakistan more than her life.

Foxnews limiting candidates for debate before New Hampshire, rejecting Ron Paul although many project him to take 3rd place.
