An Indian paper accusing Pakistan of misdeeds. Ya have to start with at least a little skepticism, don't you?

Well, you would if the Indian papers were totalitarian mouthpieces, but they aren't. Also, most of the "accusations" have proven true over the years -- about the Pakis getting nukes from China, about the Pakis selling nukes to North Korea, Libya etc.

Hah! Neither are the New York Times, LA Times, or Washington Post, but I don't believe their every dotted i and crossed t, either. Most democratic countries have newspapers that follow political party lines and are always ranting about something or other with very little journalistic integrity. I lived in Europe a number of years, and believe me, the things these folks would write about the opposition party or another country (like the USA) would spin your head around. And just for the record, Indian papers write all kinds of sordid things about the Paki's--some true, some bald-faced lies. It helps them sell, as the Indians themselves eat this crap up.
