My Uncensored Interview with Deepak Chopra
I spoke to Chopra Tuesday and gave him the opportunity to speak candidly about censorship in the media, the new patriotism, Elizabeth Hasselbeck, and latent anti-Muslim racism in the United States.

The announcement to 'go Sharia' is usually made at a mosque, by decree, at Friday prayers. Sharia is imposed by those who have the power and the weapons to tell people how they will live.
In response to the Mumbai attacks, Facebook and other online social networks are flooded with communities, discussion groups, and individual members convening online to speak out with an amplified voice.
We were quick to spot the similarities between some Indian and American reactions to 26/11 and 9/11 respectively, especially from the Right, but we failed to see the differences.
I sent this following letter to Sean Hannity recently in response to his misrepresentation of what I said on his show regarding the Mumbai terrorist attacks. Now I'm making it public.
November isn't September, 2008 isn't 2001, Pakistan isn't Afghanistan, and India isn't America. So perhaps we should reclaim our tragedy and pick through the debris with our own brains and our own broken hearts so that we can arrive at our own conclusions.
Deepak Chopra went on CNN Wednesday night to give his take on the Mumbai attacks and how to prevent similar attacks in the future, but producers cut Chopra off when he started to get too controversial.
To trivialize my views on a topic as vast of of terrorism with "Deepak Blames America," as Ms. Rabinowitz has done, not only suggests how abysmally uninformed she is, but also speaks to the ever-sinking journalistic standards of her newspaper.
Why has the mainstream U.S. media utterly ignored the report that Jewish victims at the Chabad Center in Mumbai had been tortured before they were killed? Is this not news?

Barack Obama isn't an easy target. Real Time is on hiatus so the pressure's off Bill, but Jon Stewart's The Daily Show is on every week and he's trying to find his way.
The Wall Street Journal recently published an article critical of some comments that I made on CNN and at the same time made some derogatory and personal attacks.
U.S. intelligence officials are increasingly concerned that Al Qaeda may be attempting to foment as much turmoil as possible on the subcontinent to force India and Pakistan into a nuclear war.
In Afghanistan we find a bloody quagmire so hopeless that ordinary Afghanis are not sure who to fear more -- the American occupiers or the often ruthless Taliban.
Bombs and bullets alone cannot destroy India. What can destroy India is a change in the spirit of its people, away from the pluralism and co-existence that has been our greatest strength.
I had gone to India as so many had, to find a spiritual teacher, to find a meditation method -- really to find myself. It became my spiritual home. For years I couldn't imagine living anywhere else.

India showing evidence and Pakistan denying and not responding to take action against its own people looks more to be an academic exercise which in time will cool down the people's anger. India must strive hard to beef up its defense against similar actions in future before it occurs. Too much loss and too much agony.
If something similar happens under obama we wouldn't have any of that intel.
Why? Because Obama won't torture innocent prisoners until they say whatever their torturers want them to say? It's signals intel that wouldn't require a warrant to get. Not that Bushco cares about warrants. Or laws.
Obama was not against the FISA, his position was/is to get the court order and then do it....keep it legal, so that a terrorist case doesn't get thrown out of court....
Yes we would. NSA has full rights as these guys weren't in the US jurisdiction or were US nationals. Besides Obama reversed his position of FISA right after the primary so you dont have to worry.
Sorry to contradict you, but most of the intelligence that India has obtained on the Pakistani terrorist attack came from the surviving terrorist. Under obama, he would not be required to provide any information. He would have a lawyer present at all times and couldn't be forced to incriminate himself.
