    I think there is an al queda terrorist under my bed, but I am too afraid to look. He might be plotting something.

    It is unfortunate that someone with a blotted past seems to be the only person who can offer a way out of this terrible mess for the people of Pakistan. She is brave, i'll give her that. Tragic events have unfolded tonight but lets hope she can convince musharraf that hes doing everything wrong

    I am one of those nuts. Rudy is not going to be able to provide Hillary with a week opponent. Time for more terra terra terra. Therefore after 90 years we have the Armenian genocide vote to stir the Turks. The Syrians are goaded into an attack and Bhutto decides it is a good time to go back. Timing is everything. terra terra terra.

    It seems the BBC are conspiracy nuts too:

    Ms Bhutto had earlier warned that if targeted, she would hold what she described as hidden authorities within the government as partly responsible.

    Elements of the ISI being involved is not beyond the realms of possibility. But it has been cited that the bomb was a suicide attack - not a tool members of the ISI would have easy access too. Especially as the agency has been on the defencive in this current crises and taken casualties from extremist attacks itself.

    One thing that is suprising about this attack is how numbed we and the media have all become to the scale of such carnage in attacks of this nature. Is this the worst ever single terrorist attack on Pakistani soil?
