Mr Chidambaram has approached the exercise of revamping of our security machinery essentially from the point of view of the home ministry. But let's not forget the NSA's larger role

View From Israel
He hops here and he hops there. Hops to Jerusalem and hops to Ramallah, Damascus, Beirut, Amman (but, God forbid, not to Gaza, because somebody may not like it). Hops, hops, but doesn’t take anything out of his pouch, because the pouch is empty.
