Not related (so far as I know) to this oil rig accident, veteran newsman Daniel Schorr apparently wrote an analysis of events surrounding the Londom bombings for NPR.
I haven't read it in full, because it's presented on the NPR web site as an audio file, not a transcript. (They charge for transcripts.)
Here's the lead-in:
Weekend Edition - Sunday, July 24, 2005 ยท There's a shift in the Bush administration's stance toward nuclear rivals India and Pakistan. After the Sept. 11 attacks, U.S. sentiments tilted toward Pakistan. That has changed, especially as reports tie three London blast suspects to Pakistan.
Meanwhile:
GE looks to Indian nuclear sales The New Zealand Herald - Jul 24 6:15 PM
WASHINGTON - Just over an hour after the White House's surprise pledge to help India develop its civilian nuclear power sector, the head of General Electric, the American company that could benefit most from the policy change, sat down for a celebratory dinner.
I've got no point to make, here; just trying to fathom what's going on. :)
Was there something about the London bombings that signalled a shift in relations with Pakistan?
Recent news items involving Musharraf sound a little desperate, somehow. He's quoted on two points, primarily - he's saying 'Al-Qaida' is now impotent in Pakistan, that he's "broken its back", a statement some others find not credible, and no one associated with Al-Qaida in Pakistan could've had anything to do with the London bombings. (Translation: "Please, Mr. Bush, don't send troops!") And he's downplaying (presumably for sake of his countrymen's awareness) the U.S.- India agreement on developing nuclear power, saying the agreement does _not_ include military and weapons usage - though he's also quoted as saying that'll be difficult separation to enforce.
