Seeing this sort of thing deeply saddens me. Despite her somewhat seedy and allegedly corrupt past she had the important things right, and for a country that needs an inspirational anchor I'm afraid that they've now lost their anchor. I'm also afraid of a catastrophic, violent, extremely bloody backlash occurring as a result of this assassination. We have a satellite office in Pakistan and I worry about the safety of our colleagues there. This is a terrible event.

    I have very mixed feelings about this. It is of course sad that anyone should be murdered (not to mention the other people killed in the attack today and the 100+ at the other assassination attempt a few months ago). But there is so much uncertainty in Pakistan and this just compounds it.
