I do not think that this detail is important for any
matter ...... nor am I getting involved in a debate of
how much

I thought that this detail was published by you .

I do not think that I have come to any conclusion or
does it appear so from my mail ?

 I just tried to show readers that the two news paper
reports were NOT contradictory.

I do not want to "assume" anything and come up with
many questions but the only question I have is why
MASS and/or AssamWatch and/or some American Assamese
are silent when innocent Bihari's (or Bengali's or
even common Assamese ..) are killed  by suspected
terrorist (or whosoever) whereas they are up in arms
when even an armed millitant get killed in an
encounter.
For American Assamese , I guess I know the answer
though .... it may be the Bush syndrom ......  talk of
UN and Geneva convention when American POW are
tortured (are they ?)  and give a damn to UN when
declaring the war :)


And I am still not sure what the "May be"  (you may be
correct.)  means ........I mean was there somewhere in
the report that "Kalyani was a tenant in minati bora's
house"  which I missed ?
