Exhumation Receives Approval

Pakistani officials have approved the exhumation of Benazir Bhutto's remains for an autopsy, CNN is reporting.

But the government apparently is standing behind its most recent version of events -- that Bhutto died as the result of her head striking a sunroof lever in her vehicle.

CNN quotes Brig. Javed Iqbal Cheema as saying, "We don't mind if the People's Party leadership wants her body to be exhumed and post-mortemed. They are most welcome, but we gave you what the facts are."

I'm glad there will be an autopsy, but it remains to be seen what kind of evidence we get and the conclusions that are reached.

We must be vigilant about verifying the authenticity of every autopsy photograph and video recording.
