“Hindu priests who look after the memorial of Indian independence leader Mohandas Gandhi conducted a purification ceremony at the shrine after a visit from President Bush. But it wasn’t the president who offended them, it was the sniffer-dogs who scoured the area ahead of his visit.” (Yahoo! News)
The reason I clicked on the headline was that I thought it would turn out that it was Bush’s smarmy hypocrisy in visiting a Gandhi memorial, given the blood on his hands from thousands of Iraqi and U.S. dead, which had to be purified away. The priests did the right thing for the wrong reason if they thought it was the dogs who tainted the site.
