Edited on Fri Aug-11-06 12:40 PM by pauldp
This is of more concern IMO than the timing of this or the predictable Bushco politicizing.

Apparently the ISI was instrumental in uncovering this. Hmmm.
There are still burning questions about the ISI's sympathies toward
Al Qaeda and links to 911 funding as reported by the Times of India and the Wall Street Journal.
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/cms.dll/html/uncomp/articleshow?msid=107432

Not to mention news reports in India and Pakistan never talked about here in the states
accusing Pakistani officials of bribing the 911 commission.

http://www.telegraphindia.com/1060313/asp/nation/story_5962372.asp

Are we to just take ISI's word on this? If this incident was used as a means of vindicating the Pakistani ISI and further
sweeping under the rug these legitimate concerns - that would be troubling indeed.
This should be seen as an opportunity to raise these issues and hopefully get some answers.

Does anyone else here give a sh*t about this?

1. They're B*sh's "allies" -
they were junior partners in a joint venture. * got the lion's share of the goodies but they did ok to.

4. I expect they will get heaps of weaponry for their efforts.
and who knows what else - access to oil pipelines maybe?

2. Not defending ISI by any means...
but are India Times and Telegraph India unbiased sources with respect to Pak affairs?

3. Don't know but I would think the Pakistani Friday Times would be
unbiased which is where the Telegraph article picked up it's story.
Also the WSJ - which also reported on this is unbiased in this regard.

5. It makes sense that they would have involved them at some point
Edited on Fri Aug-11-06 01:03 PM by The_Casual_Observer
if for no other reason than to try and snare more nitwits in this sting operation.

8. I don't trust them since they have ties to terrorism
and the head was funneling money to a 9/11 terrorist.

9. Exactly.
these very salient points are constantly overlooked -or more likely covered up by our
media.

"Allies" in the war on terror indeed.
