I was pretty depressed when I heard the news from my sister. It made me wonder if it was inevitable- she had to choose between staying in exile and not being able to pursue her mission, or putting herself out there and risking her life.
Although evil extinguished her life, nothing will extinguish the work and progress she has made for thousands, if not millions, in this world. Ironically, the notariety of Bhotto's death has raised her cause to the forefront. More people may now know of her because of the assassination, perhaps putting her in the "martyr" realm.

This is beyond sad and disappointing. I am FURIOUS. OUTRAGED. She was a remarkable woman. She did NOT deserve to be murdered.

No surprise here. She barely escaped a suicide bombing in October.
NBC had some unaired parts on Nightly tonight of an Bhutto interview by Ann Curry not long ago in which they talked about potential attempts on her life.
In retrospect, her comments are chilling.

From the "Ain't this some bulls**t" Files
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (CNN) -- Benazir Bhutto died as a result of a fractured skull after hitting her head on part of her car's sun roof, not as a result of a bullet or bomb shrapnel, a spokesman for Pakistan's Interior Ministry said Friday.
Nothing entered the opposition leader's head, said spokesman Brigadier Javed Iqbal Cheema.
At a news conference, Cheema showed images of Bhutto in a car, standing up through an open sunroof, looking out at the crowd as she was about to be driven away.
When the gunshots rang out and the explosion occurred, Bhutto "fell down or perhaps ducked" and apparently hit her head on a lever, Cheema said, adding that the lever was stained with blood.
Earlier, the ministry said in a report carried by the state-run news agency Associated Press of Pakistan that she was killed by shrapnel from the suicide bomb that was detonated as she stood up through the sun roof while being driven away from a political rally.

Remember the Iraqi spin doctor who was on the air before Saddam was taken out? I can't remember his name, but it looks like he got a new job...
I was always waiting for this "There are no American's in Iraq" *US Soldier drives through the background yelling "Hi Mom" *
