Certain Recent Events

Certain recent events made me write this. Though they are distinct and separate incidents, both could not be ignored. First of it, is the Encounter death of Saddam Hussein. Yes! the so called Trial by any count can not be justified in any form. Yes Saddam committed those atrocities and there is no two things about him being punished. But this whole tribunal business, looks like this is the only task the so called Iraqi Government achieved. Every day people are getting killed in droves, no business is happening, no new improvements in the lives of the people of Iraq. Now, they (the US & Iraqi govt.) say that the Judgement is handed and they are just implementing the Judgement. Why wait so long? Just the troops could have shot him outside the hole he came out of . This is nothing but an encounter killing. But Justice will be done.

The second incident is that of Steve Jobs of Apple. The story is that Jobs chose dates in the past to benefit him. Apple conducted an internal review and has cleared Jobs of any wrong doing. According to them, even though, he picked the dates of the option grants, he didn't benefit from it by selling the stock! Come on. Who are they trying to fool? In the end, Jobs may be forced to give up his role in Apple because of this stupid mistake. This reminds me of the Insider Trading story of Waksal of Imclone.
