Simple and level-headed article in NYT about how RBI proactively helped in avoiding a crisis, as opposed to Greenspan.

Scathing indictment of our political apparatus
Why it took 10 hours and why we lost so many civilians and security forces. found this on Yahoo: How India fumbled response to Mumbai attack.
Feedly is cool!
I loved the RSS reader - Feedly. I switch back to Firefox just to use it. Very slick than the drab Google Reader.
Dissappointing Journalism
I have started following Ajay Shah's blog and I agree with him about our media. I am trying to find ONE site where I see a list of all fallen servicement, their profiles. An article which presents the unfolding of events in a chronological order so that we can understand.
None of the indian newspapers or media sites have this. Also the layout of these sites leaves much to be desired. Check out Times Of India as opposed to say New York Times. Its night and day. Rediff is equally horrible. Anyways, I digress.
Wall Street Journal has put together the most comprehensive description of the sequence of events. Also there is an article yesterday that gives detail about the Indian operative who helped the bast..er.. terrorists. He is a Faheem Ahmed Ansari originally from Motilal Nagar, Goregaon! Check this article at WSJ on his role.
Also Boston Globe maintains a blog where they post pictures they collated from various sources on a specific topic. The images are always of very high quality, vivid and with this backdrop- heart wrenching. WHY could the Indian media not produce something of this calibre? Sad..
The WSJ article is India Security Faulted as Survivors Tell of Terror by Yaroslav Trofimov, Geeta Anand, Peter Wonacott and Matthew Rosenberg.
The Boston Globe photo blog is called the Big Picture. Here are 2 series: Mumbai Under Attack and Mumbai after the smoke has cleared.
As i added these links on Delicious to my account, it hit me when i had to create a new tag - 'terrorism'. I never thought I would need such a tag.
So can someone atleast point me to a post which lists all the names of the fallen. I am trying to think how we can help these folks. But first lets find them....
