40 killed in India terrorist attack

Contessa Brewer just said we "have to get to the crutch of the issue."
The crutch of the issue.
The most trusted name in news!

 

She's impossibly dense. On that, at least, Don Imus was right.

 

What's wrong with that? It's a perfectly cromulent word.

 

What does skin color have to do with this?

Looks like it might be over. The last two gunmen are killed according to police.
By the way, has anyone said for sure if the terrorists are Muslim or Hindu or something else?

 

I believe they were Indian nationals (possibly some British of Indian descent) who were also radicalized Muslims.

 

Terrorists should not be called radicalized Muslims.
They are using that religion as a crutch and an excuse.
The should be called what they are - psychotic killers.

 

That'll show 'em.

 

The term's correct, in the same manner that it's correct to refer to Eric Rudolph and his ilk as "radicalized Christians."

 

Shh. Christians don't kill people.

 

Speculation on deeper motive ...

Also, one of the groups allegedly involved in the Mumbai attacks has apparently issued threats toward the city of Delhi.

Even if true, this seems like a really dumb strategy for those who sponsored the attacks.
