A warm Carbolic Smoke Ball welcome to our new assassination analyst, Sara Jane Moore, who tried to kill President Gerald R. Ford in 1975 and was paroled Monday after 32 years behind bars. ANALYSIS OF BHUTTO ASSASSINATION, BY SARA JANE MOORE - The killing of former Pakistan Prime Minister Benizar Bhutto was really a picture perfect, dead-on execution (excuse the multiple puns!). A gunman positioned himself in just the right spot at just the right time. Tucked away in the crowd, he stood behind and to the left of the vehicle carrying Bhutto when he fired three shots at her with a pistol. His aim was perfect. He properly waited to raise the gun until the right moment when he was ready to take his shot.
What struck me about the shooting was the preparation and the planning. This was not something that someone does by waking up that day and saying, "I think I'll shoot the former Prime Minister today." No, this effort clearly entailed many long hours of training and planning.
From a technical perspective, I give this one FOUR GUNS.
