* But there are complications. The most grave among these are the indications that the Pakistan military is not seeing eye-to-eye with the Government. The military high command is said to be upset over what it believes is the civilian Government’s failure to consult it on key decisions; the initial agreement to send the DG ISI to India, which was subsequently withdrawn, has added to the dangerous discord. The military set-up believes the government’s line is too soft and that it is giving way to India too readily (and this has been the case in the past with previous governments as well).

The news (Pakistan)

* How can their (India’s) Government have ignored the warning signs? A 2007 report to Parliament warned that the country’s shores were poorly protected — and some or all of the attackers arrived by boat. Why weren’t the police and the army better prepared to respond? Sharpshooters outside the Taj Mahal Palace & Tower Hotel did not have telescopic sights, so they could not get off a shot for fear of killing hostages rather than the terrorists.
