What did we do before Wikipedia?
For all its faults, I still find myself relying on it a helluva lot. Today I was killing some time and I decided to check out their article on the Mumbai bombings. (That's an indication of how far things have come: From I wonder if they have an article on X? to I wonder what their article on X looks like.) As it turns out, pretty darn good. You could get as much out of reading it as out of a half-dozen news articles--and this for an event which occurred only ten hours ago.
BTW, I'm not surprised that people are seeing the hand of Dawood Ibrahim behind this, but I am mildly surprised to find that he's been working so closely with a Kashmiri separatist group. I didn't think he really had a dog in that fight, but I guess he's a friend to Islamic extremists anywhere in India these days.
