You Say Tomato, I Say Tomahto

I was heading home and listening to OPB radio which is broadcasting the BBC World Service late at night. They are saying that Benazir Bhutto was killed by the bomb blast and not by gunshot wounds. First off, I watched video of the assassination and it looked to me as though she was shot. Second, even if she were killed only by a bomb and not by a gunman, who cares? Is it not a horrible attack either way?


How is this even a story?


She was murdered, but not quite the way that some of us thought. Therefore...


what?


She was murdered. The method is inconsequential. It was a horrible political murder. That is the story. And it still is.
