Benazir Bhutto said Osama Bin Laden is Dead. Did Benazir Bhutto know something we do not? Now that she is dead, will we ever know?by CT Johnson

A video interview of ex-Pakistani Prime minister Benazir Bhutto on November 2, 2007 with David Frost of the BBC has Benazir Bhutto mentioning that Osama Bin Laden was murdered 2:14 into the video. One has to be curious as to how a comment like this could not have leaked into the mainstream American press.
If it is true that Osama Bin Laden was murdered then it could completely turn U.S. Middle Eastern policy on its head. Of course the 'threat' of extremism and the tactic of terrorism would still exist. However, with Saddam Hussein out of the picture, we have only one 'bogeyman' left. If that 'bogeyman' was dead, what would be the effect on the American electorate?
Big questions would start to come forth. Lets take the presidential candidate Ron Paul. He continually states that it is time to bring the troops home. Furthermore, he says the threat of terrorism is caused by US meddling, and occupation of the middle east and this drives this extremism...a concept described by the CIA as blowback. Many might agree with Ron Paul, but back away from his position and seem to act like we have unfinished business. They act as if we still haven't got our 'bogeyman'...we haven't finished off the 'evil' Osama bin Laden.
So, if the big bad wolf...the destroyer of worlds...he who supposedly hates liberty and freedom...Osama bin Laden were dead...would it shift the mindset of a sizable portion of the American public?
Why hasn't this been analyzed even minutely by the main stream media?

Is it too much of a stretch for me to offer this out? The reason that Bhutto was assasinated was the fact that she anounced that Osama Bin Ladin was murdered.
I have been thinking the same as the previous comment. She let the proverbial cat out of the bag, THEY could not risk having her around to repeat it. Frost deliberately ignored it and hoped no one noticed...this needs to be made public somehow.
This is a stunning video. Bhutto makes the comment about bin Laden's murder almost in passing, as though it is something of which everyone in Pakistan already knows. And, Sir David Frost doesn't even respond to the statement, as though everyone in Britain already knows about it too. So why, in America, the home of the "free press," are we only now, two months after Bhutto's statement hearing about this? And hearing about it not from news organizations, but from privately posted overseas videos effectively smuggled into the American purview via the Internet! It makes one wonder if Bhutto wasn't perhaps assassinated for reasons other than those put forth, by those who might not have been either Pakistani nor terrorist (at least in the tradition sense).
Yeah, if they would have given here enough time she might have endorsed Ron Paul, claimed to have seen UFO's, admited that Bush himself planted explosives at the WTC, and said that muhamed told her that it was ok to eat pork.
