Former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto spoke to Wolf Blitzer, on CNN's Late Edition, about the current crisis in Pakistan. Blitzer asked Ms. Bhutto about the possibility of working with Musharraf in the future, and played for her a video clip of Musharraf saying that Ms. Bhutto came back to Pakistan and quickly turned confrontational. Ms. Bhutto had a pointed reply to that statement, one that could suggest this crisis is far from over.
