Finally, Musharraf is taking a step in the right direction to get to the bottom of Bhutto’s assassination. Musharraf actually contacted Gordon Brown asking for help from Scotland Yard. I guess he figured out that all the BS stories he and the government were giving didn’t pass for the truth. Honestly the x-ray they touted as a gash on Bhutto’s head that killed her was a joker. That x-ray didn’t even look like a human skull; it looked more like a melon with a piece sliced out.

Hopefully Scotland Yard will get to the bottom of the assassination but will Musharraf accept the findings and will he make them public? I doubt it. Like Bush Misharraf is just a sneaky and stubborn about the truth.

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (CNN) — Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf said Wednesday that British investigators are heading to Pakistan to help clear up the confusion surrounding Thursday’s assassination of Benazir Bhutto.

“I am very thankful to [British] Prime Minister Gordon Brown that when I made this request he accepted that,” Musharraf said in a nationally televised address. The Scotland Yard team, he said, “will solve all the confusion” surrounding how Bhutto died last week.

Musharraf expressed his condolences about the killing of Bhutto, who he said “has been martyred by terrorists.”

“I understand the tragedy and the sadness and anger it has brought to the People’s Party activists and among the Sindhi population,” Musharraf said. “I would like to say I personally am very sad and angry about this assassination, and I value the emotions of the nation.”

Musharraf also announced that the government has deployed army rangers to Sindh province — Bhutto’s main support base — which has been heavily damaged by looters in the wake of her assassination. The military’s mission is “to protect the lives and property of masses,” he said.

The involvement of Scotland Yard is a turnabout from Pakistan’s initial rejection of outside help in the investigation.

“We understand our environment better than the international community,” Interior Ministry spokesman Javed Iqbal Cheema said Saturday.

“Scotland Yard cannot investigate in Waziristan,” Cheema said. “They don’t understand Pashto.”

I guess it would be asking too much to send a Pakistan official or investigator with Scotland Yard to Waziristan. After all the Pakistan government is trying to get to the truth or maybe not.
