Interesting that you mentioned 3 instance...RAmanji,<br />Interesting that you mentioned 3 instances of US intransigence/ duplicity but seems like Bharat is always at the receiving end. Are we on our way to accepting our vassal/ banana republic status?<br /><br />I think its time for you to come up with a book on the past-present and future of Bharat-USA intelligence cooperation.Vijayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03790884680860098906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4704148890264843595.post-53712202335033499422009-12-20T23:52:08.827-08:002009-12-20T23:52:08.827-08:00Dear Mr. Raman,
Some interesting points you have ...Dear Mr. Raman,<br /><br />Some interesting points you have mentioned:<br />- Amongst all the reasons you have stated for misunderstandings and mutual bitterness in the relations between intelligence agencies of the US and India, not a single instance has been stated where the Americans have a reason to feel betrayed.<br />- "The US agencies would have been anxious to protect the lives of their nationals and those of Israel and NATO countries." Does this mean that they would place Indian nationals at a lower scale than their nationals those of Israel and NATO countries? Can we accept this when we extrapolate it further? Can India accept collateral damage in US' so-called war on terrorism?<br />- We allow the US to take away our nationals for questioning (post 26/11, a fisherwoman in Mumbai was taken away) but is this what we expect to get in return?<br />- If Headley cannot be questioned now, why do we not have similar black-and-white laws in place?<br />- Why can we (from the highest levels) not tell the US openly that Headley has to be questioned by Indian agencies otherwise, without burden of proof, we will consider him to be a double (or triple or quadrapule - does not matter) agent<br />- How long can / will this hypocrisy last?S Kumarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08067569764627149721noreply@blogger.com
