And ANOTHER thing....

Two questions:

1) Why do we have to learn this from an Indian newspaper - is this not the kind of news that should have come out in the Daily Mail or the Daily Express? Are they too craven, or just not doing their jobs?

2) Why has not everyone connected with this obscenity not been sacked without compensation, pension or golden parachute of any kind, been blacklisted for any further public employment, and subjected to all too well deserved public ignominy?

I think I'd like to see the ads before passing judgement. If people are being drawn into terrorism through lies and propoganda, what is wrong with trying to counter that propaganda?

If the ads really are people saying please, please don't attack us, then that is probably going to be too craven to be effective, but I supect that to be the work of some sub-editor looking for a decent headline.

As far as I can tell from extensively straining what the press is saying, the theme of the ads is "We're on your side, really!" rather than "Please don't hurt us!" as such.

Not that I expect it to be particularly effective in either case.
