Roy Carter’s Statement on the Assassination of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto 

“My deepest prayers and condolences go out to the family and supporters of Pakistan’s former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto.  

I strongly condemn the shameless act by those who wish to undermine Pakistan’s struggle for democracy. This is a tragic event for Pakistan and a blow to the hope that Bhutto was providing for many around the globe.  

I call for Congress, the Bush administration, and the International community to be swift, forthright, and objective in their investigation of this horrific event. It is in instances like this that we must be mindful of the old prophet who proclaimed “Let justice roll down like waters and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.” To create such justice we must avoid the drumbeats for further violence and work to represent true freedom at home and abroad.  

Benazir Bhutto will be sorely missed by many, but her message and call for free elections must go on.”
