India's Home Minister to resign after Mumbai attack

Accountability when something goes wrong? Wow, he should have been working in the Bush White House or Wall Street where accountability does not register. If he was in the US they would have given him a medal though perhaps not enough people were killed in the horrible attacks.

India's top security official offered his resignation Sunday, a senior aide said, as the government struggled under growing accusations of security failures following the Mumbai attacks that left at least 174 people dead.

Home Minister Shivraj Patil submitted his resignation letter to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh but has not received a response, aide R.K. Kumar said.

Patil has become highly unpopular during a long series of terror attacks and his ouster has long been predicted in political circles.

"Our Politicians Fiddle as Innocents Die," read a headline Sunday in the Times of India newspaper, part of a growing chorus of criticism.
Imagine that. Public outrage too and a critical media. Sheesh. What do they think they're doing? Don't they know now is the time to blindly support team that allowed catastrophic failure and attack anyone who dares to criticize?
