Sting Operations
I have read with glee the recent reports of sting operations organized by cobrapost.com that has lead to expulsion of 11 Members of Parliament, which is supposedly only the second time that elected officials have actually been punished for accepting bribes.
The BJP showed its true colors by refusing to condone the expulsion - This after several strong speeches declaring their hatred for corruption. Advani made a statement to the effect that the only fault of the MP's was that they were stupid enough to get caught !!
Anyways, the point of this post was my wonder at whether the journalists from cobrapost.com could not be arrested because they offered bribes (which is a crime too ...). Not that I want them to be punished, by any means, but I am just wondering ...
