TO: Ben Johnson , Associate Editor FrontPage Magazine, Thank you so much for a well-written article “Two Republicans' Romance With Terrorists”. I very much appreciate this article and would like to let you know that every Indian-American is with you in this fight against terror.

New Hampshire state Republican representatives Robert Giuda and Saghir Tahir would like to portray themselves as champions of the “oppressed” people of Kashmir, a bone of contention between nuclear powers India and Pakistan. Instead, their actions indicate that they may be supporting a cause used as a cover by groups indulging in anti-American terrorism.

In press interviews and op-ed pieces, the congressmen use half-truths and misleading statements to excoriate India, a democratic ally of America, in the name of requesting help for Kashmir while simultaneously white washing the acts of anti-American terrorists.

Falsehoods that justify terror.

The lies begin with the canard that India does not allow free press in its side of Kashmir. In fact, there are plenty of Western media reporters operating freely from the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir. These include reporters for the New York Times, Washington Post, Reuters and Associated Press, to name a few.

In the website of their lobbying group, the Congressmen blame India for “80,000 street killings, 9,000 rapes, and 6,000 custodial killings” that allegedly occurred in Kashmir. But, they fail to mention that these numbers are not corroborated by independent Human Rights agencies. As a matter of fact, most neutral organizations, such as Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International, place a lot of the blame for the civilian killings on the various Pakistan backed militant groups. They also fail to mention that these numbers originally came from Pakistan’s vernacular media, which also routinely publish “news” such as “American soldiers raped 4000 Iraqi women”. Had the congressmen paused to read mainstream
news media instead, they would find that the killings in Kashmir are almost always inflicted by their favorite “freedom fighters”. For instance, here are some recent reports taken from the wires:
