We just heard the news. This is horrendous.
I have so much respect for this woman. I had the fortune of seeing and hearing her speak at a small conference in Boston a couple of years ago. While the other speakers were (with the exception of one) successful and interesting women, Benazir for me stole the show. She was honest, approachable, human--and real.
When asked about Islam and terrorism, she said that Islam is a peaceful religion.
"These people have hijacked my religion."
NOTHING justifies this assassination. NOTHING.

Yes, despite the corruption, I think it's a sad thing for women, and a sad thing for Pakistan. And by extension, for the rest of us too.
