Afzal's clemency appeal

http://www.hindu.com/2006/10/07/stories/2006100704931000.htm
The readers of CBCNN are upset that the clemency appeal is even being entertained. The exception is S.N.Samuel, Salem, TN -- undoubtedly an abrahamite -- who doubts the system, an opinion shared by CBCNN, the rent-an-ngo guys, social activists, etc. I wonder why "The law must take its own course" in the case of Shankaracharya - because hindus dont matter.
The last comment by A. Balagangadharan, Pollachi, T.N. beats me.
