Richard Boucher, a mid-level functionary of the Bush administration, "advised" India to rely on hard evidence before drawing conclusions on the Mumbai terror attacks! TOI article>>
What HARD evidence did they have when the US attacked Iraq? What about 9/11 - Osama took credit much after the large scale offensive by the US against Taliban.
The only HARD and inappropriate evidence US ever had was against Bill Clinton!
Boucher goes on to say:
"The terrorists that we're fighting against have been fighting against Afghanistan, been fighting against Pakistan, been fighting against the US, been fighting against Europeans, and maybe some of them fighting against India, as well,” he said, almost grudgingly including India among the list of countries affected.
I hope this really was the case, and India hadn't lost countless civilian lives in Kashmir. And I hope he will realize soon how damaging a two-faced anti-terror policy can be!

Strange, I remembered Barrett this evening - only to find out he passed away a few days ago.
