Backstage at the US machinations in Pakistan

The WaPo has a very interesting and detailed frontpager on the US's involvement in Bhutto's return to Pakistan.

(But be aware that it contains some of the same uncritical Bhutto characterizations we're seeing throughout the media. She was definitely more "moderate" and western-friendly, but she wasn't a flawless savior as most of the US coverage is portraying her.

She spent years marketing herself to US politicians and media, knowing that her best path to power lay through Washington.)
