Benazir Bhutto: Bin Laden Murdered… wait. WHAT?
“David Frost the presenter did not challenge her on her assertion (2:14) that Bin Laden was murdered, so maybe he was and the West has not announced it. It would make sense that the West would cover up such a truth, as Bin Laden is needed as a “bogeyman” to continue the farcical “War on Terror”" (YouTube Description)

Mouhahahhahaha Man there are some loonies out there. I gots Jimmy Hoffa in my basement.
NO way. I ate Jimmy Hoffa whole and will poop him out when the political climate is once again right.
Wait, I see why she was assassinated now. She exposed the sole justification for the U.S. occupation of Afghanistan – to get the mysterious bearded one.
This woman was just murdered a few days ago. Please have some respect for the dead, whether or not you agreed with her views when she was alive. May Allah have mercy on her.

No Allah, no God, no nothing, its over, she’s gone.
What I’m wondering is what if the liberal minded folk like Bhutto retaliated to those fundamentalist conservative freak jobs and we just started bombing them in return. I know it’s not a solution, but I wonder what their reaction would be. Would they escalate or would they go WOE WOE WOE they can’t be using our tactics. Seriously, just find them and kill them and their families, bomb their schools and training grounds. Because it’s obvious that moderate Islam and its Imams are just gonna keep condoning this type of savagery by their complete and total inaction. Crying and screaming to cameras solves nothing.
Pakistan’s best hope was blown up by it’s leaders (most likely) or others who don’t want to see change in that country. Religion poisons everything.
This entire controversy is confusing the hell out of me. I should first state that I am completely opposed to our presence in Iraq, and will flee the country if Republicans are re-elected. Also, I don’t find it implausible that Bin Laden is dead, but I’ve thought that for years…I’m just not convinced. However, I am not in the conspiracy theorist camp.
A few questions and comments:
1) Having watched the original Al Jazeera ‘interview’ with Frost in its entirety very carefully several times, it doesn’t even appear that Benazir and David were ‘conversing’ in real time. Both look and sound as though they’re reading scripted material, probably teleprompter notes. That’s the way celebrity interviews usually are, anyway: carefully orchestrated, scripted, and edited, with little or no room for spontaneity. (Note the one-to-two second hesitation on her part after each question is posed.) Therefore, it’s entirely possible that Benazir simply misspoke, and that she meant to say ‘Daniel Pearl’.
And given the above, it’s obvious why Frost didn’t have a shocked reaction to this spectacular ‘revelation’-they weren’t really talking to each other!
2) This is a huge deal now, but has been posted, unedited, on Al Jazeera’s channel since very early November. Considering the number of people out there looking for anything to fuel their conspiracy theories, why didn’t anyonecatch this HUGE ‘piece of evidence’ until after her death?
3) A sincere question: what would Sheikh’s motivation have been to murder Bin Laden?
I think it’s likely that Benazir misspoke out of exhaustion, haste, or some other easily explainable factor. She was too smart to intentionally reveal something as enormous as that if it was supposed to be such a well-guarded secret…

Ok, I thought people were getting MORE media savvy, not less..
“It doesn’t even appear they are conversing in real time”
It’s called a ‘delay’. That’s because the interview is being conducted from different locations, via satellite. Ever had a long distance phone call where you have to pause for a second after you speak so that you don’t talk over each other? Same principle here..
“That’s the way celebrity interviews usually are, anyway: carefully orchestrated, scripted, and edited, with little or no room for spontaneity.”
Umm, on what planet would an interviewer like David Frost consider Bhutto to be a “celebrity”?? This man interviews kings, queens, actors etc. Politicians are the very bottom of the totem pole..and even then, I know of no interviewer that would allow an “orchestrated, scripted” interview, unless we are talking about state run media in the middle east and south america etc.
And yes, I do know what I am talking about. Been in the business for a while..
The one with the cuts and delays is the edited BBC version. The Al Jazeera version is unedited and clearly shows Bhutto saying OBL was murdered. BBC sanitized it so not to offend America and Neo-Cons.
