Mohd. Afzal's clemency petitioners, including Arundhati Roy in her introduction to a collection of essays in the form of a book titled "13 December – A Reader: The Strange Case of the Attack on the Indian Parliament", present a very good opportunity to put in perspective what the various actors in the terrorist attack on Parliament five years ago are upto.
Looking at my posts in 2004 and 2005, nothing seems to have changed.
If anything, Musharraf has become far more smarter about using the media to put forth his 'Solutions for for ever-lasting peace in Kashmir ™' and also hoodwinked India to have a joint terror fighting mechanism!

Four years after the Parliament attack
December 13, 2001 saw terrorists launch a brazen attack on India's Parliament. Last year, I wrote about the personal fortunes of some of the key people in that episode. Nothing much has changed since then.
| Who | Dec 13 2001 | Dec 14 2004 | Now |
|---|---|---|---|
| AB Vajpayee | Prime Minister | Former PM, ousted six months ago | Still a former PM with even less influence on his party, out of a job for over 18 months |
| LK Advani | Home Minister | New BJP President | Soon to be former BJP President |
| Maulana Masood Azhar | Head of the Jaish-e-Mohammad | Free man, let go by Pakistan court | Still free. Did he have a hand in blasts in London? |
| Pervez Musharraf | President | Islam spokesperson, blue eyed golden boy of the West | Continues to be President of the origin of all terror, cricket diplomat, PR machine and betrayer of quake-hit Kashmir |
Pakistan has continued to get away with it. Four years on. This is shameful.

Three years after the Indian Parliament was attacked, perhaps its time to take a look at where the various protagonists and antagonists of that day stand now.
Who Then Now
AB Vajpayee Prime Minister Former PM, ousted at the hustings
six months ago
LK Advani Home Minister and Former Deputy PM, now in charge of
the BJP
self-proclaimed
Sardar Patel II
Maulana Masood Head of the Free man, after he was let go by
Azhar Jaish-e-Mohammad. The Pakistan's court
Jaish and Lashkar are
the prime suspects
Pervez Musharraf President Pakistan's president, military head,
spokesperson for Islam, much wanted
dinner speaker at various summits,
blue eyed golden boy of the US and
the Western world
Something tells me that Pakistan has got away with murder. Dont you think so?
