You call this 'evidence'?

I don't want to speculate on the alleged Pakistani culpability in the Mumbai attacks. However, I am astounded over the nature of the evidence presented by the Indian investigators. In the light of this supposed evidence, one is forced to conclude that either the terrorists were total nincompoops or the Indian propagandists need a crash refresher course in concocting 'evidence'. What kind of terrorists on a suicide-mission carry their national ID cards with them? They might as well have carried their birth certificates too. What kind of terrorists leaves behind evidence, like a bag of flour, that could be traced back to its origin? They must have been hardcore nationalists who consumed only Pakistani products. What kind of terrorists on suicide-mission carry toothpaste and shaving cream of their beloved country with them? They must have been very hygiene-conscious suicidal terrorists After all, who doesn't wish to look well groomed for his funeral? The 10 terrorists must have been dwarfs with novelty weapons and supplies. Because fitting 10 fully armed men and tons of supplies on a 10 x 4 ft rubber-dinghy is nothing short of a miracle in space utilization. In fact, I am surprised they didn't carry notarized confession letters with them. Even better, videos of advance confessions, taped in the presence of the Indian embassy officials in Islamabad-ADNAN GILL, Los Angeles, USA, via e-mail, January 8.
