Cheat Seeking Missiles

hat’s interesting about the dossier India presented to Pakistan today outlining evidence of Pakistani involvement in the Mumbai terror attack isn’t so much what the dossier contains, but its distribution list.

The dossier’s contents have not yet been released, but news reports say it contains the confession of lone terror force survivor Ajmal Amir Kasab, records of GPS and satellite phones used by the attackers and transcripts of conversations between the attackers and their handlers in Pakistan.

Its distribution includes Islamabad, of course, but much, much more:

Stepping up the diplomatic offensive, foreign minister Pranab Mukherjee said he has written to his counterparts around the world and that countries are being briefed separately giving details of the Mumbai attacks and its links in Pakistan. …

“It is my hope that the world will unite to achieve the goal of eliminating the threat of such terrorism,” Mukherjee said.

The External Affairs Ministry will be briefing all heads of missions based in Delhi, with the briefings to be concluded by Tuesday, and Indian ambassadors and high commissioners will be doing the same in their host countries around the world.

Seeing the reprehensible world response to Israel’s measured response to terrorist aggression against it, India’s diplomatic initiatives look quite savvy. Pakistan is no Israel in the world’s perception - which as a powerful proof of how wrong the world’s perception of Israel is - but India’s diplomatic push assures that when Islamabad responds, world leaders will be able to measure that response against the dossier’s contents and judge accordingly.
