Last we checked, Bhutto won an international human rights prize before being assassinated. And she's classified by the oh-so-knowledgeable GQ editors as one of the top four examples of "the Harvard douche." Are they out of their minds?

"It was difficult but now finally I feel O.K.," she says with a laugh. The state government of Tamil Nadu awarded her a television set and a cash prize as a show of support after Doha. Soundarajan took that money - a little more than $30,000 - and in 2007 started a sports academy in Pudukkottai.
