Terrorism Version 2.0.0.7

Terrorism in 2007 has turned a new leaf.
Terrorists no longer carry suicide mechanisms. No Cyanide capsules. They are a more educated lot these days. They hire Smart lawyers, Feign ignorance.

The Human Rights Laws of some countries give them so blatant rights that they no longer need to end their life if caught in the act. All they should have is

A Good Dumb Lawyer ( Peter Russo ;-) )
Financial backing
Wife or Family who can manipulate the media and sensationalize the case.

for now all Islamic Terrorists say goodbye to Cyanide.
Its more live life kingsize for them.

[QOTM] Judicial Activism Vs Judicial Absenteeism

"A society that has more justice is a society that needs less charity."

Ralph Nader, Former Green Party Candidate for U.S. President (2000).

This seems so apt in Sanjay Dutt;s case that the importance of that statement cannot be more emphasized.
The HC Judge set a precedent by saying he was doing his duty.

It goes Without saying the kind of pressure the High court judge must be under after all Sanjay Dutt was a reigning Movie star and progreny of a stalwart actor and CONGRESSMAN.
It also made a bold statement. If the HC Judge found the facts or prima facie evidence and pronounced a verdict of 6 years. It meant the that it was a total honest and upright judgement.

If the star still goes to the Highest Echelon(Supreme Court) the judge may actually give a bigger sentence but i feel it cannot be less than 6 yrs RI certainly.

If at all the sentence is reduced It would mean the judge
maybe pressurised by the CONGRESS government and that a lesser sentence is nothing short of Judicial Absenteeism.
