The lawsuits(by the state) on her husband(on charges of <em>use of office for personal gains</em>, <em>embezzling of govt. funds</em>, etc.) were dropped all of a sudden & he was released from prison when there was quite a bit of proof that he was guilty! This indicated only one thing, Benazir had struck a deal with Musharraf under which her husband was released & all charges withdrawn while on her part she was to keep mum & agree with Musharraf on everything. So had she become PM I think she would've been what Manmohan Singh is to Sonia Gandhi. I think all was going well for Musharraf as far as Benazir was concerned but I think that the amount of supporters thronging to her campaign rallies turned <em>bibi's</em> mind & she thought she can overthrow Musharraf & hence bought the big ticket up!!
