Field Fisher lawyers freed from Mumbai terror ordeal

Field Fisher lawyers freed from Mumbai terror What a lot of pompous, overbearing, self-righteous , cynical bigots you all are. Did none of you actually listen to what this man Abell said? After enduring what must have been unthinkable fear and uncertainty for some 40 hours ,the first thing he did when he was interviewed by the press was to thank his rescuers, praise all of the heroes involved in this tragedy and say gracious things about the Indian people . Is that the first thing that you would have done after such an ordeal? This man showed amazing coolness, modesty and courage. He took incredible risks to let us all understand exactly what was going on in that hell hole. Others who did the same were hunted down and mrdered for their troubles. Would any of you have the guts to do what he did? I doubt it! So what if he mentioned the name of the firm he works for when he was interviewed. Is that a crime? Does it detract from his bravery ? You can all sit there and snipe away at him but you do not even have the courage to put your name to your barbed and poisonous comments. Sounds to me as though some of you have got a grudge against Mr Abell for some reason and you are cynical enough to use this tragedy to try and get one over on him. Shame on you. Mr Abell did us all a favour reporting on the events in Mumbai as they unfolded. I think that we should all be proud that one of our fellow professionals has the guts to get up and do something when the chips are down. You should also be ashamed of yourselves. Why don't you all get a life? Rather than all this bitching why don't you start trying to understand the enormity of what happened in Mumbai and think what you can do to help those bereaved and orphaned by it ?
