Musharraf is blocking a free vote

It has been more than a month since my wife, Benazir Bhutto, was assassinated, and little has been done to identify the forces that ordered, planned and funded her murder. The forensic evidence was destroyed almost immediately after the assassination, and though Pervez Musharraf reluctantly allowed Britain's Scotland Yard to enter the country, its investigation was constrained. Indeed, when Musharraf told Scotland Yard that he would not allow "wild goose chases" to investigate officials in his government and party, the perception of a cover-up permeated Pakistani society.
