I think you're spot on about Fatima Bhutto on both counts. She makes a very big deal about nepotism, but she owes her entire journalistic career to her last name. If her name was Fatima Hasan, nobody would give a fig about what she has to say. And now, it seems, she has a book on the way as well. Great. Also, not only are her facts wrong vis a vis Waziristan, her argument reminds me of Imran Khan's polemics. A lot of "let's blame america for everything" and not enough of introspection about our own policies of the last 20+ years that have landed us in this situation. Great links on this post.
