There's no doubt it's Indian propaganda.  They have as much if not more of a 
stake in the current crisis in South Asia as any of the other participants, 
since they would be on the receiving end of any nuclear strike engineered by 
the Pakistanis.  But now General Musharraf is our good friend in the area.  
Of course, if we want the unvarnished truth, we must turn to CNN.
