I have to admit that it does seem like you are trying pretty hard to convince yourself that things are still hunky dory.
Hmm, hunky dory is not what i would have said, things are happening. The problem is all we have are snippets and they say 'you decide'. Hey, depending on what is said you can fool anyone with this.

I don't know about your political inclinations, nor do I care, but it does seem like darth and the others have a point here saar
A point that was never ever made, just thrown out there with the implication 'you decide'. This is basically how you convey something without having any responsibilty about it. Its slippery. It's funny how ppl seem to miss that for something else.
The other thing i notice when ppl are questioned, they say you must be from the other side. That the very purpose of this 'evidence' is political to begin with isn't it. There is no tolerance for scepticism at all. That's fine because that only tells me that the story is not that strong to begin with. Why all the evasion otherwise

Also, I find it super creepy how this is getting buried by EVERY major media portal from India
Well you read about it from magazines and not some blog, last i checked they were still the media
If there was a smoking gun, heads would roll, and these stories are already a few months old. Repackaged to take advantage the anti-corruption mania currently doing the rounds here and of course ppl are open to suggestion now aren't they, there is much bigger things on the plate atm.
Given you're not resident here currently, let me give you an idea about what the talkshows have been hammering on about for the last week, EVERYBODY is talking about adarsh scam, 2G scam, CWG scam etc. EVERYBODY is hammering Congress on this. The faces of the congress spokesperson says a lot, too much strain over the last week and its starting to show, in the way they hog the mike. The media are talking credit for getting Chavan, Kalmadi & Raja sacked. There is a real blood lust about. Its been quite sustained.
Because they have a report, ppl can see the country got bilked, they are talking about cancelling licenses etc. this is the zeitgeist going on atm, not some crap about what journalists have said or been construed as talking about, which given that saghvi's rebuttal removes a lot of the 'suspicions' ppl here try to imply but never actually say.
