Dual outrage

No, not Crash winning best picture... but this:

NEW DELHI - 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.

...

The dogs, flown in from the U.S., were part of the intense security surrounding the president, but the Hindu priests believe they tainted the site.

Outrage # 1 - that the Incompetents can't secure a site without breaking local taboos.

Outrage # 2 - that the Hindu priests blame impurity on some innocent dogs, instead of the walking sack of corruption that the poor things were securing the site for.
