Knowing one's boundaries - Nancy Pelosi edition

Little news item from Reuters:
U.S.' Pelosi questions Pakistan's Bhutto probe
Washington should address "troubling questions" about Pakistan's probe of opposition leader Benazir Bhutto's assassination and its cooperation in fighting terrorism before extending any more aid, U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on Saturday.

Pelosi called for an international investigation into the Dec. 27 assassination of Bhutto, which Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf's government has blamed on al Qaeda.

Bhutto's party dismissed the government account, saying Musharraf's administration, a close ally in U.S. President George W. Bush's war against terrorism, was trying to cover up its failure to protect her.
Since when did she join the State Department? It's alright to have a personal interest in matters like this but to be dictating matters of policy and action for a Foreign Nation is not in her job description... And how is Pelosi doing on those promises she made when she got elected to her post as Speaker - click here and find out. No wonder their popular approval rating is below that of President Bush.
