as usual, on the money.
This is about energy, did you say?

fine print of the laws Congress is passing shows how every aspect of India's
nuclear programme will exist solely at the pleasure of the US, says *Arun
Shourie* in the second part of his analysis of the nuclear deal

**While we are being treated to lullabies — that the agreement with the
US is all about nuclear energy — the laws that the US Congress is passing
are absolutely clear in the objectives for which the agreement is being
entered into.
• Section 2(5) of the Bill that the House of Representatives has passed
states that the objective is to bring within the ambit of NPT discipline
countries that haven't signed.

What a searing analysis!
Other commentators will tell you what is wrong in rhetorical terms. The thing I really admire about Shourie (and this aspect of his public writing has been true ever since I started reading is work) is that he will produce texts, citations, he will link and cross-link and build his case inch-by-inch.
A lot fo folks get turned off by his books because they tend to be long-winded - but I rather admire this aspect of the guy. They will criticise him , and if they are "Ambedkarists" (I will trade mark this one) they will even blacken his face - but they can never respond to the substance!
I think that the Nuclear Deal is dead - unless (as in the past) Duryodhana Singh and his gang are foolish enought to resuurect it.
KapiDhwaja,
Excellent news friend! I am not superstitious but even I will take this as providential sanction to do away with subservience to the accursed Yankee.
I must sound a sad note though. Given where the uranium deposits are located, our "Secularists" and Communists will soon be fighting about who to gift these to - Bangladesh or China? ... and while the fighting is on the Christist Missionaries will ship it all away to Graham Staines' Christian Fund in Australia!!!!
