Hero: Sanjeev Kumar:I was touched by the story today of the tributes paid to a police officer who helped save hundreds of people on his remote island of Katchall in India during the tsunami disaster,then was tragically swept away while trying to help one last person,an old woman who asked him to retrieve her handbag.

The heroic officer at one point grabbed four children,two in each hand,and carried them up the hillside.Later,he led one last old woman to safety.

"Sanjeev was one of our best officers,young and brave,"said A.K. Singh,the superintendant of police.

May he rest in peace.

Villain: Mitchel McLaughlin:His comments today are an insult to nationalists everywhere.

"Sinn Fein's priority is to advance the peace process and to defend the rights of those who vote for us,"he said today.

What garbage!Criminality must not be overlooked,Mitchel!
