Thats...silly. You'd video of the whole thing would pretty much disprove that without a doubt.

Then again, people do love their conspiracies...and their high tech laser weapons.

I prefer the magic bullet which defies the laws of physics theory. Oh wait, that was already done.

Evidence that a tool is defined more by the hands that wield it than anything else. A tragic occurence, I was saddened when I heard about it.

Aliens, with their highpowered lasers, must also hate Democracy. In all seriousness though, Bhutto's death is a tragedy not only for Pakistan, but for the entire world. To know that those who are brave enough to face danger head on for the sake of bettering the lives of her fellow people and of her state would be so easy for an opposing faction to kill. This entire planet is a depressing dystopia at times :P

I like it. It's inventive. If you going to lie about something, why not go for broke?
