Pakistan Requests British Help in Bhutto Inquiry
So, why didn't Mushy ask his personal friend George bu$h* for help??

maybe bacause the world trusts us less than anyone?

~snip~ ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — Pakistan has asked Scotland Yard to help with an investigation into the assassination of the opposition leader Benazir Bhutto, President Pervez Musharraf said in an address on state-run television Wednesday.

The decision to request outside help with the inquiry into Ms. Bhutto’s death appeared to be an attempt to deflect some of the withering criticism that has been building inside and outside Pakistan about the competence and objectivity of the investigation, and the government’s explanation about how Ms. Bhutto died.

In the address, Mr. Musharraf also defended a decision announced earlier Wednesday by Pakistan’s election commission to postpone parliamentary elections until Feb. 18, six weeks later than originally scheduled, saying the delay was unavoidable because of the destruction caused by the post-assassination riots in Sindh Province, the political base of Ms. Bhutto.
