The New York Times looks at Sen. Hillary Clinton’s relationship with Benazir Bhutto.

Sen. Joe Biden (D-DE), chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said in a press conference yesterday that he had urged Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to offer the services of U.S. intelligence and security agencies for the investigation into Bhutto’s death.

Gov. Bill Richardson (D-NM) will deliver a major speech today in which he will criticize U.S. policy toward Pakistan as having been “too much on personalities like President Musharraf and not enough on democratic principles and human rights.” In the speech, he will pledge that if he is elected, “not a penny more in aid will be provided to Pakistan to fight terrorism until Musharraf leaves office.”

    In her November interview with Sir David Frost on ‘Frost Over the World’, Benazir Bhutto mentions at the 6:13 mark “the man who murdered Osama Bin-Laden.” Link:

    New Bin-Laden tape coming soon likely means Bhutto misinformed. But this is newsworthy nonetheless. Where did Bhutto get her information? How recently was the new tape made?
