Rumor Mongering at its Worst

Ah, the attention!

Writes Jonathan Foreman,

There are also rumors that many of the 100 or more so fatalities may have been caused by police firing wildly — as is all too common here — at the scene of terrorist attacks in the main railway station and the Cama hospital.[link]

Right. Every time Mr Foreman goes for a walk in New Delhi, police are found firing wildly. Interestingly enough, Mr Foreman offers no links to substantiate his rumors. There are also rumors circulating that CIA may be behind the attack. Perhaps, we should believe them too.

The main reason why Americans are so concerned with this attack–the coverage of past terror attacks has been abysmal–is because Westerners may have been deliberately targeted even though most of the dead are Indians. Perhaps, Mr Foreman should confine his concern to that and not insult those–without an iota of proof–who are putting their lives on the line right now.
