[Reader-list] How someone "well connected" got RIK screening Cancelled

[Aman Sethi]

As as journalist, i have always had a, perhaps misplaced, suspicion of
blogmedia.  While blogmedia and list-servs have done some fantastic
work, what is saddening is how texts based on a series of loosely
worded conjectures pass off as investigative work.  Of course an even
mildly critical viewing of our news channels and news media will
reveal the same conjectures passed off as news - usually when it
concerns matters of national security, separatism, and of course,
jihad. So perhaps i should retract my previous statement.

Rashneek's report seems to consist of little beyond a "he said, she
said."  In fact, he admits to as much in his "pre-emptive" post.  It
is indeed tragic that he expects to be taken seriously.

It would be interesting to view Pawan Durani's list of financiers.  It
would be even more interesting to know where he gets his lists from.
