well the wife of victim bhutto believes the u.s. is preparing to force a husband to get the testimony they need it comes as a u.s. aircraft carrier arriving in bangkok for the first time ever he says it's no coincidence oh he was mortally wounded and still moved to that it's quite possible there likes to dine him and just look him up on some craft carrier and force him to give whatever testimony the u.s. wants him to give i think he'll go as hard as it takes to get it and i'm sure everyone understands their plane to fly to do these days starting with chemical sense psychological pressure. goodman he's a publisher specializing in investigative writing he believes vick to boot is stuck in a high stakes game and is unlikely to get a fair trial in the u.s. i think the thailand tiger government is kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place obviously they're being played in as just pieces in an international game between russia and america. but they don't want to seem as if they were pressured by america even though they have been that

host: what was the significance of benazir bhutto's assassination? guest: was back in the states when it happened. i had been involved when i was still ambassador to pakistan in early efforts to develop an understanding between her and mushareff to allow her to return. it did play out, but is a reminder that terror can make an important difference. her assassination was a major setback to pakistan in its efforts to build a stable civilian governments. yet they went ahead with their elections. they did produce a government. the country did not descend into chaos. for all of its challenges, including the tremendous loss of benazir bhutto, i think that pakistan has shown a remarkable resilience inability to keep moving ahead. host: chicago area, a democrat. caller: i do not agree with the investor that the patience of american people has anything to do with it. we are members of western civilization, and as such our forebears' are people like socrates who was a spear- carrying member of the military unit. when he went forth he would expect to
