musharraf responded, look, the americans can call all they want, but your security -- said to benazir bhutto -- depends on the state of our mutual relationship. so he was telling very point blank to benazir that her security depended on how he felt their relationship was going. and he sent a letter to -- actually, an e-mail to wolf blitzer, an e-mail to be known only if she were to be killed. and in that e-mail she blames musharraf because, she says, he made her feel insecure due to the minions, the associates around him. i think that any responsibility, penal responsibility has to be established by the courts. it is the courts publish who's guilty or -- establish who's guilty or who's exonerated. but i think there's a political and moral responsibility on the part of musharraf because he just did not provide the protection that she requested so many times. not only musharraf, i like to even say that the united states and the u.k. promoted her return to pakistan because it was part of a deal that would have enough stability for pakistan and at the same time confront terrorism, particularly t

where benazir bhutto asked protection before going back and asked whether the u.s. government had called them to request that protection because they've lobbied the white house and they responded the americans can call all they want, but the security said to benazir bhutto on the state of count the mutual relationship her security depended on how she felt the relationship was going. she sent a letter, actually an e-mail to work with her and e-mail to be known only if she were killed and in that e-mail she blames musharraf and because she says that he made her feel insecure with the ssc is around them. that responsibility has to be established by the court if the courts established who is guilty or accelerated but there is a political and a moral responsibility on the part of musharraf because they do not provide the production that they requested so many times. not only musharraf. i would like to say that the united states and the u.k. promoted her return to have enough stability for pakistan and a think tank or from terrorism particularly the taliban that were help

and the two brothers, younger brothers of benazir bhutto also died violent deaths. the only person that survives is a sister who was not involved in politics. and when you look at the kennedys, it's something like that. so there were these elements that i wanted to bring to the fore that were by no means in the report. and also a reflection that is not in the report either about the relationship between the united states and pakistan. because the united states has been a critical actor in pakistan since the birth of pakistan in 1947 after the partition between india and pakistan. so all of those elements make up good three-fourths of the book, and -- but there is one part, the assassination, the day of the assassination where we go, you know, hour by hour about what's going on with benazir bhutto, with her convoy, arriving to the political rally after which she was assassinated. all of that is based in the report, but it's a very small part compared to what the book is all about. >> host: right, right, right. no, i found that part particularly interesting, you know,

and then there was also a personal commitment to the story of benazir bhutto, because she had, in a sense, put her life at risk. and she knew that there were threats against her life. and nevertheless, there were high values for her, the recovery of democracy in pakistan, the idea of making the radicalization in pakistan a thing of the past controlling the armed forces and the part of the civilian government. all of that was very close to my own experience because i was a dissident against a dictatorship this
