Turf battles at all levels, not only in police, at all levels are a reality and because of these turf level, no fresh talent is getting a chance to bring new ideas. Just look at how police postings are made, you will come to know how we are persisting with only those people who have been a proven failure. New institutions are not a panacea or cannot be expected to deliver over night. In any case, creation of new organizations like NIA are only half measures. If NIA cannot decide on merit which case it is required to take up for investigation then it is not truely empowered. Creation of NIA is really a half measures. Counterterrorism turf has been captured by people, including officers, who have vested interests in our security systems. They not only lack committment but also expertise. You have just to study all these CT set up and would realise the naked truth. <br />Unfortunately, Indian security agencies are not thinking and planning strategically. In fact we lack strategic culture. That is why we have not been able to make assessment of terror or Indian Mujahideen post-26/11. Let us not hope for miracles.Bodhi27https://www.blogger.com/profile/10748996024052222469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4704148890264843595.post-14587607043939298452011-09-09T19:40:50.233-07:002011-09-09T19:40:50.233-07:00Just as riot investigations in Gujarat were compro...Just as riot investigations in Gujarat were compromised because of the involvement of BJP legislators in the riots, all things point to Congress party involvement in the terror attacks. This is why investigations go nowhere, and it appears as if no TECHINT is found. And Indian intelligence may want a FBI like agency, but are they willing to do what it would take to build one? Is one of the NIA/CBI/RAW/IB directors willing to blackmail the PM and other politicians to get what they want? Hoover's antics played no small role in helping the FBI grow into what it is today.AJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17577715204408148505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4704148890264843595.post-43435956532132211712011-09-08T23:59:11.389-07:002011-09-08T23:59:11.389-07:00Failure of the intelligence to locate and eliminat...Failure of the intelligence to locate and eliminate the terrorist stems from two points.One,everything in our country today is loaded with political connotations.Consequently there is nothing on which a universally acceptable view is taken including who is/are responsible for terrorist attacks.If it is said that it is IM or a similar group resposible,immediately there is a cry that it is not IM but right wing Hindu terrorism.Neither is therefore properly investigated.And two,our investigative agencies are all the time looking up to the Powers that are for guidance instead of the other way round.There is thus no fair independent assessment of a security failure.Under such conditions, how can we expect results.HUMINT or TECHINT ultimately will work if there is a willingness to use the tools effectively.Krishna Kackerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05499575868847517118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4704148890264843595.post-75505946994887389682011-09-08T21:08:00.955-07:002011-09-08T21:08:00.955-07:00The Govt. is fully corrupt.

Each person in Govt. mistrusts every other; the Opposition is a shame; and it does not trust Govt.;the people as a whole do not trust Govt. or the Opposition;<br /><br />Everyone in power seeks to swindle the country, public funds and the general public.<br /><br />The problem can be addressed ONLY if 'INDIA ' as a unit develops a healthy mindset. We have the necessary intellectual, technical and other capabilities to tackle the problem. But, inside the head, 'INDIA' is not OK.<br /><br />How to address this problem ?<br /><br />The corrupt have cornered all power. They have to be removed by people power. <br /><br />The second step would be to destroy corruption by destroying all those who are corrupt.<br /><br />The third step would be to install a Govt. which the people can trust and respect. <br /><br />The rest will follow if honest people can be put to work.<br /><br />I am a retired CA,71 years old and these are my views as an ordinary citizen.audi_krishnanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13125415645746467691noreply@blogger.com
