Raymond Davis was presented to the Pakistani government as a technical support worker for the US Consulate in Lahore, so it came as quite a surprise when, in the wake of his arrest on double-murder charges, he turned out to be the de facto CIA head for Pakistan.
He wasn’t alone. The Davis fallout led Pakistani spy agencies to determine that the US indeed had hundreds of active CIA operatives working in the nation above and beyond the officially reported ones working with the government.
Now, Pakistan’s National Accountability Bureau has turned its eyes toward USAID, the official US government aid agency. There is concern, according to reports, that the various USAID “corruption” scandals surrounding inefficient projects are evidence that the agency is being used as cover for CIA activities.
The US has denied the allegations, and surely a US government agency needs no ulterior motive to be monstrously inefficient. Still, it brings more unwelcome attention to the agency at a time when it is arguing that its programs are “vital” to the war effort in various nations, and a time when its funding is under growing scrutiny.
No surprise. US "aid" agencies are perfect cover. Pretend to offer a helping hand while stabbing your friend in the back with the other. Typical modus operandi for Uncle Scam.
Normally your comment would be pessimistic, but after ten years, you are probably right.
OOOOOOOO more RamBOZZO Davis fallout…… Gee… Who wooda guessed… Was Panetta having sex with the moron…or just in Rambo Awe… Raymond Davis STATION CHIEF…??? Maybe for Amtrack in East Greenwich RI. or some FL. backwater… But in Pakistan…??? Still,?? is Patraeus any better…??? They are all BIG TIME COOL AID Drinkers…. CIA station Chief in Pakistan and DIA requires a spook, not any military oaf arm-twisters…… Intelligence postings require tact, subtlety and…Intelligence. Not Rambo arrogance. Aren't there enough problems with Pakistan right now…?? Pres "O". currently Pres ZERO ("0") for me seems to think things are werkin out FINE over there in "AFPAK"….. but we are just pissin in the wind at three Billion a week…and every day we make MORE enemies in those two countries..!! Time for the hook for the whole "O" crew… We just cannot afford such stupidity!!! Where is the "O" tipping point…???
If the Pakistanis really had any sense, they'd toss every damn Amerikan out of their country.
”The US has denied the allegations, and surely a US government agency needs no ulterior motive to be monstrously inefficient”.
Indeed as per US highest IQ in the world and with the lowest IQ as Pakistan citizen,we really do believe they are here to help us.By DESTROYING us first and then taking on the REBUILDING process,This process will go on till job is not over with full submission to the USG,FP.Uncle Sam your strength only and only comes from the shamelessness of the HEADS of our Establishment,otherwise I swear you are not even worth pee on you face.
Nothing new here. I think it's common knowledge that USAID and NED are heavily involved with the CIA spending our tax dollars on a "better tomorrow" for US corporations and elites.
The Trojan Horse still remains the most important tool of the spy agencies!
R you referring to pres "O" and hiz troup of Trojan Whores led by Trojan Whores No. 1!! Our "O"
Does anyone still ignore that USAID is a nest of spies?
USAID should be kicked out of any country, including the US.
