[The Commodities Scam Queen] goes on to imply that she read Ms. Bhutto's autobiography, "She wrote a very moving biography that begins with the assassination of her father." The only problem is that Ms. Bhutto's father wasn't assassinated.

I'd be careful. Here's how the Publishers Weekly review at Amazon starts:

Prime Minister of Pakistan, Bhutto writes with poise and passion in this autobiography, both a catharsis and a coming to terms with her past. In the poignant opening chapter, she describes the brutal murder in 1977 of her father, Pakistani Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, by General Zia ul-Haq.
The facts seem to indicate that he was hanged after some official proceeding, but if others have described this as a "brutal murder" then I think it is best not to suggest that Hillary is playing fast and loose with the truth in this case. You'll have other opportunities!

She claims he was assissinated. It isn’t true. He was hung just like Saddaam. Many in the west believed he deserved it too.

He was tried and convicted of conspiring to murder the father of an opposition politician and sentenced to death. Despite clemency appeals from foreign leaders, Bhutto was hanged in April 1979.
