Counter-terrorism bureau is certainly a questionable proposition, as noted by your Defence and Strategic Affairs Editor, on Thursday 26 January, 2006.

People in Bangladesh are in the dark on many matters and this too is one of many. Is it necessary to enlighten the people on this matter? Why? Usually this is not done , or if at all, after some discourse on this lapse by persons who may feel it their moral duty to make the ordinary people conscious of their environment. Even in this age of information with all the imaginable sophistication , peoples' access to any kind of information is extremely limited. When did Bangladesh seek the advice of the superpower on how, when, where and what to do, to counter terrorism within the country? We don't know.

And by this set-up will our capabilities be so enhanced that we too will strike anyone any time, simply because we feel like doing so? This is the question before us. For the answer we need to search our soul and follow our inner feelings.
