Really, the death of Bhutto should be called assassination, as she did not "pass away" as the text implies. Martin Baldwin-Edwards 12:40, 31 December 2007 (CST)

I swear, I haven't drunk a single drop yet. --Robert W King 12:44, 31 December 2007 (CST)
Also, I'm not so sure that it should be labeled an assassination yet; there was no autopsy performed of the body to determine if a bullet had indeed been inside of her skull, and the police pretty much seized her after she arrived at the medical examiners. IMO, the jury is still out even though there is video evidence that has the quality of the zapruder film. --Robert W King 12:47, 31 December 2007 (CST)
The NYT said yesterday that an autopsy showed that her skull was fractured by the force of the blast that threw her against the lever on her sunroof. If that isn't an assassination, I don't know what it could possibly be called. "Accidental death"?
As far as I've read today, there has been no official autopsy (the body has not been exhumed), so I would just call it "death"; whether it was accidental (say, an attempt to escape the blast or gunfire), or purposeful/assassination (she was actually shot). --Robert W King 13:20, 31 December 2007 (CST)
