SUFFICIENTLY INTELLIGENT AND COMPETENT

Anil Dharker views that our intelligence agencies are inefficient and unprofessional and comparing them to the agencies in UK and US is unfair. (DNA 23-11-09 - How intelligent our sleuths are) They must be having sufficient information about Vilas Pandurang Warak and Rahul Mahesh Bhatt. That need not be made public, since investigation is still in progress. The law is same for every one and the National Investing Agency (NIA) is following the established procedure in questioning them. Just because they are from film land, rules need not be deviated. It is the media that is harassing them with un wanted publicity. The investigating agencies are just doing their job. We all know how FBI officials treated our Sharukh Khan in August this year, at New York airport. If the US intelligent agencies are so efficient why they had know clue about the 9/11 attack, which killed thousands of people. Why they are not able to catch the most dreaded terrorist Osama Bin Laden, in spite of Pakistan government giving them free hand to use their territory for that purpose? By appearance most Indians, Bangladeshis and Pakistanis (the epicenter of international terrorism) look alike which is a major hindrance in surveillance and information gathering, unlike in the West, where they can easily identify an Asian by look. This is the advantage the Western intelligent agencies have over our agencies. Otherwise, our intelligent agencies are also sufficiently intelligent and competent.
