what if we think about this ritual of moving around/redefining the fatal wound as a political action?
what could be at stake in it?
if bhutto is understood as having been killed by fracturing her skull while trying to get out of the way of an assailant's gunfire and/or bomb, what changes situationally?
what does it mean politically if she is understood as having been assissinated directly?
does the skull fracture hypothesis mean that there was no assassination?
or is it a theory designed to save face for the government, a slight displacement of the center of gravity from the actions of the assailant to accident (caused by the actions of the assailant, but not identical with them)?
i dont know, am just thinking about what i've read this morning....
