War in Pakistan -Waziristan Coming Soon to a Market Near America.
BB, who went to Harvard Radcliffe and Oxford, won a posthumous Prize for Human Rights, and would make an excellent film subject.
BB reportedly planned to expose intelligence hits and operations in her country during her second campaign for President to modernize and reform Pakistan. She reportedly repeatedly requested Anglo American protection and did not get it. Many of her supporters were killed by suicide bombers when they formed a human chain around her car to protect her.

USA taxpayers generously gave $6.6 Billion to Pakistan to buy ISI and military cooperation, spending $236 Billion on military ventures there since 7 October 2001, including the current administration that won office by promising to end the wars disabling the economy.
One trillion dollars were directly spent on Afghan and Iraq Wars so far. With mission creep to Pakistan and Iran, the total may be far higher.
Amherst Columbia Nobel Laureate Economist Joseph Stiglitz estimates the total cost may be $3 Trillion.
(Norwegian Nobel Peace Prizes may not be what it used to be, having gone to Kofi Annan, Yassar Arafat and a newly elected President, as opposed to Swedish Scientific Nobel Prizes.)
$3 Trillion on Afghanistan and Iraq is over $27,000 for every American household. The $23 Trillion committed to Big Bank Bailouts so far according to Bloomberg, brings the total to $230,314 per household that has disappeared from the economy into the offshore accounts of oligarchy monopolists, oligopolists, the plundering plutocracy.
US Dollars are disappearing and becoming scarcer after bailouts, corruption, deflation and war spending debts that challenge the $13 Trillion Federal debt ceiling.
Maybe one of these days relatively soon, per the Big4 Asset Allocation Report, dollars will become more valuable.
