The following pictures of Benazir Bhutto may not seem appropriate in light of her recent assassination. Wouldn't it be more respectful to show her in more formal dress with traditional head covering, as has been the norm since her death?

I don't think so. To understand her--and to understand why so many people wanted her dead--we have to go beyond her strategic public image to see her as she was.
