Fox News, These Are Your Children...
I have now received three student papers that discuss Iraq's attack on the Twin Towers on 9/11...
Meanwhile, the tragic and brutal assassination of Benazir Bhutto does mean that her supporters don't need to worry about her apparent cosying up with Pervez Musharraf (trying to ingratiate herself with someone she saw as remaining the main power in Pakistani politics, or ingratiating herself in order to persuade him to step aside?) and forget about all the corruption that happened last time she was in power.

This is What Democracy Looks Like... Apparently
Bush More Emphatic In Backing Musharraf. He Says Leader 'Believes in Democracy'.
Well, Bush and Musharraf have things in common, they've both stolen elections for example, but only Musharraf has been in the military.
I do love the way the Post reports it though.
President Bush yesterday offered his strongest support of embattled Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf, saying the general "hasn't crossed the line" and "truly is somebody who believes in democracy." Bush spoke nearly three weeks after Musharraf declared emergency rule, sacked members of the Supreme Court and began a roundup of journalists, lawyers and human rights activists.
