Multiple terror attacks in Mumbai

Bunk and baloney.

The terrorists didn't need a TV to know that rescuers were coming. These fights were tactical: Building to building, and room to room. No TV reports were announcing what door was being knocked in next. I find it disgusting when (as in the 9-11 aftermath) armchair critics smear the blame around, as if it can be prevented in any open society for determined criminals to kill. Defeating terrorism (both as isolated events, and as period trends) does not require that societies develop information-stifling reflexes, crack SWAT teams on every corner, or secretive police states. When murderers strike, rescuers will react with cunning, courage, and the resources at hand until it's over, and that's where we should leave it.
 
I agree. It is easy to sit in the sidelines and make judgements.
There a zillion factors to consider, and all that is not public information. Overall, the rescue operation has been a great success. It is now to squeeze information from the one terrorist caught alive.

Reports point to Pakistan clearer each moment.
 
I bet he knows nothing at all. If there is one thing that is true of these organisations, its the need to know basis of parceling out info.

So you don't think anyone should do anything in order to try to minimize murders and terrorist acts? ...just let it happen, THEN pick up the dead bodies and go on living as usual?

Just logic Baron; would you tell the expendables the intimate details of your organisation?
 
Logic again, if they weren't expendable, there would have been an escape plan.
 
Hmm could be because after shooting people in groups of two around the city they barricaded themselves in hotels and waited it out.

The escape plan didn't work out properly. But then, you knew that, didn't you, SAM? That's why you called the "expendables"? :D

Is there anything else that you'd like to tell us about terrorist organizations and methodology? I can contact the Indian authorities if you provide me with some pertainent, insider info.

SAM only gave you half the definition...

Its a muslim warrior fighting for his religion.

A Mujahid (Arabic: مجاهد, muǧāhid, literally "struggler") is a Muslim involved in a jihad, who is fighting in a war or involved in any other struggle.[1] The plural is Mujahideen[2] (Arabic: مجاهدين‎, muǧāhidīn). The word is from the same Arabic triliteral as jihad ("struggle"). In Islamic scripture, the mujahid contrasts with the qaid, one who does not join the jihad.

SAM what should happen to those that organized and executed this attack? Should Pakistan cooperate in the investigation?

Only if you look at jihad through colonial eyes. The jihad akbar [or greater struggle] is with yourself.

Sorry.. was that you or Robert Mugabe speaking?
I keep getting confused when colonials are brought in. Its very easy to get confused between the rhetoric the two of you throw out.

Im just trying to keep you honest SAM :p I know how you like to ignore the obvious.
:m:
 
I think there is a justice system in place. I believe all but one were killed. One is in custody and should be tried [which is probably what will happen]. I don't think India needs any foreign help in this. We can surely investigate and try our own criminals.

You mean by telling me the meaning of words in my religion in a language I know, through colonial definitions and usage of them? Yeah, thats what you'd consider "honest"

I know you have your definition of reality.. but thats yours.. great.. swim with it hun.. it totally suites you. In the mean time.. Ill keep calling a duck a duck :p
 
But it appears the attackers came from a base in Pakistan or were launched from Pakistan. So should not the search for justice included those in Pakistan who funded them and planned and organized the attacks?
