Interesting in so many ways.

not interesting:

She is on record shortly before AND AFTER the David Frost interview acknowledging that bin Laden is alive.
One day after the Frost interview on November 3, 2007, Bhutto was asked by CNN anchor Fredricka Whitfield if she blamed General Pervez Musharraf for helping to produce safe havens in Pakistan, where "Osama bin Laden, the most-wanted terrorist in the world, just might be taking refuge?"
Bhutto's answer to this was...
"I wouldn't like to go so far as to blame General Musharraf directly, but I would certainly say that many people in his administration and his security apparatus responsible for internal security make me feel very uneasy. And I believe that tribal areas of Pakistan could not have become safe havens without collusion of some of the elements in the present administration. And this is why I believe that regime change is very important."
Bhutto was then asked by Whitfield...
"Do you think General Musharraf knows where Osama bin Laden is?
Bhutto's response...
"I don't think General Musharraf personally knows where Osama bin Laden is, but I do feel that people around him are many who are associated with the earlier military dictatorship of the '80s. That military dictatorship formed the Iran Mujahideen. The Mujahideen subsequently became Al Qaeda and Taliban. So I believe that break has not been made between the supporters and sympathizers of the Mujahideen and thereby, of the Taliban and Al Qaeda that is necessary. We need an administration and a security apparatus that does not have people with links to the Iran Jihad of the '80s."
FULL INTERVIEW:

Nothing in there about bin Laden being murdered by some dude that's been locked up since February of 2002 now was there.
On at least two other occasions, shortly before Frost's November interview, Bhutto is on record describing bin Laden as being alive:
June 2007...
Mush's toppling, not a nightmare for West: Bhutto
9 Jun 2007 (The Times Of India)
"If the Taliban are eliminated, or if their poster-boy Osama bin Laden is caught, the international cries for restoration of democracy will only deepen"

Oct 2007...
Bhutto Would Let U.S. Target Bin Laden
Pakistan Opposition Leader Benazir Bhutto Would Accept U.S. Aid in Targeting Osama Bin Laden
Oct 1, 2007 (AP)
"If there is overwhelming evidence, I would hope that I would be able to take Osama bin Laden myself without depending on the Americans,"
http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory?id=3676687
BBC probably edited their interview to protect David Frost for not asking Bhutto a follow-up question to clarify her statement. Perhaps the person editing the story made the decision call to remove it because he/she knew it was an obvious error on Bhutto's part and didn't want to contribute to the spreading of bogus conspiracy theories. Or perhaps Bhutto herself requested them to remove her error.
The bottom line is Bhutto misspoke and has repeatedly given the official OBL line of BS shortly before and after the David Frost interview.
There's no conspiracy here, folks. The woman made an error. It happens.
If people want an explanation from BBC for why they altered their interview, I suppose there's no harm in that. But they'll just say they edited it out because they either thought (or knew) that it was an error spoken by Bhutto. Perhaps they'll say something like "after the interview we asked her what she meant by that and she explained to us that she misspoke and meant to say Daniel Pearl of course, so we removed her bit of misinformation about bin Laden being murdered, big deal!" |

wtf are you quoting.
Probably your most incoherent post to date.
Please clarify.
Was this supposed to be a reply to someone else's post?
Oh never mind I watched the video.
Bhutto says "Omar Sheikh, the man who murdered Osama Bin Laden".
Was it Omar Sheikh that murdered Daniel Pearl? |

that is right.
So the debate is, did she mean Daniel Pearl, or did she actually mean OBL.
Read my edit.
It seems this may have been debunked.
Although, I don't see how anyone could confuse the two names.
Nonetheless she later confirms that OBL is not dead.
Anyway, it was interesting until i did further research. Now it seems to just be a mistake. |
