1. India has a pretty Independent streak.
India resisted siding with Nazi Germany to fight their British occupiers for instance, but opposed them independently through Gandhi's work.

India may come up with something more effective for fighting terrorism than the dogma that's been floating around here.

9. I'm sure Dick Cheney is rubbing his hands with glee.
Have you noticed how all the loose end suspects point toward the A.Q. Khan network?
