The two spy agencies have long worked side by side in the region, and the CIA even funds a major portion of their counterpart’s budget, but Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) has signaled a further split today in the wake of the Raymond Davis detention.
Davis, nominally a “consulate technical adviser” who was arrested in Lahore on a double murder, was eventually revealed to be not just a CIA operative, but the de facto leader of CIA operations within the nation, according to confessions from top US officials.
The revelation, which apparently took the ISI by surprised, has sparked major concerns in the organization that there me be “scores” of other CIA spies operating across Pakistan not only outside of the partnership with the ISI, but entirely without their knowledge.
To that end, the ISI is demanding a full accounting from the CIA of all their operatives working in Pakistan at the moment, with one official saying it was important that the CIA “treat us as allies, not as satellites.”
Obama is making it clear. He is moving the US towards civil war in Pakistan. Just as Bin Laden has wanted.
Both CIA men along with Raymbozzo Davis…. A little Rambo, a lot of Laurel and Hardy………
Leon Pinetta needs to be FIRED…… His poor leadership quality which the elevation of Davis illuminates so clearly must not be allowed to sabotage all efficient trade-craft practice…… Get RID of the oleaginous worm NOW……….. perhaps to return some modicum of decency and competence to the agency… Ask Ray McGovern, he knows what is needed…!!!!! The entire world is watching…..
I'm sorry for Pakistan but this is what you get when you accept the bribe money, er…foreign aid. You get a foreign behind the scenes dictator who feels he can murder your people with impunity.
"…demanding a full accounting from the CIA…" Yeah, like THAT is going to happen. And as MvGuy alludes to above, what is a contractor doing as the "leader" of operations in Pak? I think the Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld plan of outsourcing government responsibility (and accountaqbility?) to contractors has gone too far. Hey, how about we outsource the Congress to the citizens?? No?? Didn't think so.
The US government thinks they can do anything they want kill people in other countrys after allegedly chasing one of the 2 down the street to finnish him of.Now they want this murderer to have immunity so if thats the case other countrys can come to America and kill citizens and claim immunity.It's time to treat people like humans no mater were they come from.It seems the things America is supposed to stand for they totally ignore all they seem to care about is money that you can'ty tyake with you when you die.ACT THE WAY YOU PORTRAY YOURSELF…..
Well of course USGov can treat them the same as they did the swine at Waco who were also not adhering to state-approved religious and political parameters. How can we be brazen enough to question this?
