Just finished watching 'We the People' and realized how opportunist the media has become. Probably they are even thanking their stars that the Delhi blasts occured on a weekend giving them more to talk about, debate about and run their frigging 24 hour channel. Surprisingly the show was called Delhi blasts: All talk no action, I find a paradox in this statement, if the news channel was so intent on action why couldnt they do a show on how action can be guaranteed rather than presenting a doctored show with only "talk" and no action. Why couldnt better governance, citizen safety be discussed for the benefit of all citizens.
Just a day after the blast, India TV seems to have claimed that Mumbai is the next target....the cycle will continue till some action is taken. Just having stringent anti terror laws in the country and debating it to the effect that nothing comes out of it is not a solution, to follow it and make sure that it minimises terrorist activites is important.
I strongly feel that SIMI or IM (Indian Mujahideen) whoever is responsible for these ghastly acts should be strictly dealt with, the government should be held accountable to the public and the opposition should stop making provoative speeches and help the government is possible and if thats beyond their understanding then they should just keep quiet.

If India ever decide to tackle terrorism there would be collateral damage. what's interesting is that are we willing to go that path because as you mentioned the coward journalist and even the politician will then fill up the slots vacant in the 24 hr programming. If a notorious gangster like shorabuddin's death can create such a theatrical performances by no. of politicians and journalist then even a single innocent man being churned out by the law enforcement agencies will give them the ammunition to go on an all out attack.
Maybe its time that a real leader comes out from a bunch of cowards.
only then we will breathe freely without being terrorised
