Responses to Bhutto's Assassination

Responses to the Thursday assassination of Pakistani opposition leader Benazir Bhutto continue online:

The Online NewsHour's Margaret Warner interviewed two longtime Bhutto advisers, Husain Haqqani and Mark Siegel, about Bhutto's fatalism, her suspicions of Musharraf, and her belief in democracy.

The Online NewsHour also has a timeline of Bhutto's political career and in-depth coverage of the politics of Pakistan with twenty years of Bhutto video interviews.

The NewsHour Vote 2008 Reporters' Blog details candidate reactions to Bhutto's death and the transcript from Friday's show that examines how candidates are now including an international security focus in their campaigns.

For a visual look at print coverage, the South Asian Journalists Association (SAJA) forum has collected images of more than fifty front pages of newspapers reporting Bhutto's death.

Global Voice Online is aggregating relevant blog posts on the Global Voices site and external blogs as well as the Twitter (an online social messaging system) feed of user Teeth Maestro.

NPR's Bryant Park Project asked how listeners felt about the Bhutto news; you can leave a comment here.
