No. It should have been clear from whatever I wrote in the context, which is about consequences vs intentions. > just to remind you that despite your confessed ignorance of constitution, you still use it to counter Puniyani et al I used my belief in Constitutional methods, not my knowledge of Constitutional law. > btw - you are yet to post a single coherent argument on why Puniyani et al are wrong and you are right in your reading of aparticular community I didn't understand what you mean by 'reading of a particular community'. But why Puniyani et al's suggestions are wrong and potentially dangerous was elaborated well with my and other blogger's comments. However, for your benefit, let me summarize it: 1) The constitution of a 'social audit' body with authority but without accountability is a prescription for political meddling (as if we don't already have enough of it!) in terror investigations. This is fundamentally different from playing watchdog or whistle blower, the *only* role that civil society initiative should and need play. 2) Puniyani is hardly convincing when he talks about the likely involvement of Hindu terrorists, or why such an angle for investigation should be 'given serious thought'. The only connection he could talk about is the Nanded blast which even the CBI refused to further investigate citing lack of any followable leads to organized terrorism. 3) The attempt to absolve Jihadi terror organizations by confusing the issue is deplorable. 4) The statement rails against politicization of terror prevention, and then goes on to politicize the matter, as well as give prescription for further politicization.
