#2 Some of the Mumbai attackers got away clean, too. Amazingly sloppy.

#3 As did the Sri Lankan cricket team attackers, but this a military base and they had nearly a day to secure the perimeter.

#4 Suppose you were a Paki cop or security guy, either enlisted or, say, up to lieutenant. You really think your job is security or law enforcement and you do your best.
But, time after time, the orders you get put you a day late and a dollar short when it could have been different. Your deployment is to where Something didn't happen and so you weren't able to make a difference. Problems that seem predictable--at least, if you had been involved, you'd have seen it as a priority, you think, not rocket science or fortune telling--suddenly turn into catastrophes for which no provision had been made.
Eventually, you start to think...what?

#6 Why would the 'good guys' say two got away? Why tell the truth? Why not say, "We got 'em all", and see who steps up and says, "I got away". Then follow him.

Maybe all six were ready to die and the two losers are ashamed. So they ran away and hid.

Or is there some other reason? Supposing you thought you got 'em all and are humilated there were only four. Attacker inflation?

I put "The Truth" as my last choice.

#7 "Why would the 'good guys' say two got away?"

Why do you think there are any good guys involved in this cluster fornication, Bobby?

#8 So does this mean the Chicoms are going to hunt down these miscreants for violating Pakistain's Illusory Sovereignty(tm)?
