Indian officials seem correct about protest
Preferential treatment of Paki spies. An Indian man is jailed for 35 months because of minor transgression, AQ Khan should have got life, and is now treated as a hero.
The case has irked the Indian government, whose officials would not go on record, but have said privately that the Sudarshan issue has been blown out of proportion. Ironically, the sentencing comes amid new revelations about the nuclear proliferation activities of Pakistan's A Q Khan.
"There is a complete mismatch in the way the US government has handled these two cases,'' points out C Uday Bhaskar, former head of the New Delhi's premier thinktank Institute of Defence Studies and Analysis (IDSA). ''The gravity of the transgressions by Khan and his network is severe...yet the American system prefers to have a go at the lower end of the spectrum.'
IMO: ''The "Ugly Americans", who are by now also the "disgustingly obese Americans", in terms of both physical weight and the amount of cash they filch from the third world, still have no idea as to how to deal with things involving matters outside their shores. And in the UK, it seems that Hazel Blears can hand out secret documents in Salford like fish and chips. Blears won't go to jail, and will almost certainly be also given a cash handout at the taxpayer's expense.
