In the absence of objective, bi-partisan and intelligent commentators, particularly those in the media, I can foresee the debate surrounding this bill, degenerate into one of those rhetorical binary optioned slanging matches, that will end up calling one's patriotism into question. Pointing out the major flaws in this bill should not be viewed as "minority appeasement' or "standing with terrorists' or "being soft on terror'. Communalising and politicising this issue will only help obfuscate the real issues.
