Strange American reluctance to assist India fight terror

Condemning the bomb blast in Pune, the United States on Sunday said it will "assist" India as needed to help bring the perpetrators of the "cowardly act" to justice.

Offering his condolences, US Ambassador to India Timothy J Roemer said "on behalf of the people of the United States, I extend heartfelt sympathy to the Government of India and the victims" of the tragic terrorist blast in Pune.

"The US remains shoulder-to-shoulder with India in the fight against terror and will assist as needed to help bring the perpetrators of this cowardly act to justice," Roemer said.

Shoulder-to-shoulder or some thing else to some thing else,what ever it is,it's a real mystery why the American Government continues to deny India access to LeT man David Headley,who is in their custody and ,who is believed to have strong links with attacks in India.

Headley is believed to have stayed at the Osho Ashram, located near the blast site,German Bakery,during his visit to Pune.

American officials say there are legal matters and that's why they can't give access to Indian officials..!!

After the Pune bomb blast America cannot continue to hide behind the so-called legal intricacies.To hell with these legal hurdles..$#$
When America needs to get terror suspects from other Countries they don't allow such escapism,why double standards??India is only asking to allow Indian officials to question a person who has links,which even America agrees,to attacks in India..

If America is serious in it's comments of "The US remains shoulder-to-shoulder with India in the fight against terror",then the 1st thing they should do is allow India access to the terrorist.If this is a prestige issue for them,let them provide the access secretly.
