Good News: India Ignored U.S. Warning About Mumbai Attack

We warned the Indians not once, but twice that Mumbai was about to be attacked by sea. It looks like they ramped up security for a week, but when the attack didn't happen within the predicted time frame they let down their guard. CNN:

Indian security forces have confirmed to CNN that not only did U.S. officials warn them of a water-borne attack in Mumbai -- they were told twice. The area entered a higher state of alert for a week, including tightened security measures at hotels, but those efforts were eventually reduced, Indian officials said.
Let's hope the Mumbai massacre serves to wake them up in the same way 9/11 woke America up. As I've said over and over again, India is our natural ally in the region. It's a tragedy that so many Indians are still stuck on the injustices of colonialism and then project those feelings on to the US. If this doesn't wake them up as to what the real enemy is, then I don't know what will.

Thanks to HA's link thingy.
