AP:Pakistan's intelligence ready to split with CIA
Pakistan's intelligence ready to split with CIAThat's the real headline. One wonders where they found Pakistan's intelligence. I Had never seen any evidence that it had any. By KATHY GANNON and ADAM GOLDMAN, Associated Press Credit where credit is due. These are the geniuses behind this story. ISLAMABAD, Pakistan -- Pakistan's ISI spy agency is ready to split with the CIA because of frustration over what it calls heavy-handed pressure and its anger over what it believes is a covert U.S. operation involving hundreds of contract spies, according to an internal document obtained by The Associated Press and interviews with U.S. and Pakistani officials. The heavy handed CIA? Perhaps the offending officers should be sent to the State Department Charm Class for Cookie Pushing and Pouring Tea. Such a move could seriously damage the U.S war effort in Afghanistan, limit a program targeting al-Qaida insurgents along the Pakistan frontier, and restrict Washington's access to information in the nuclear-armed country. How could it damage the war effort as the ISI has been actively abetting the Taliban, it's own spawn. According to a statement drafted by the ISI, supported by interviews with officials, an already-fragile relationship between the two agencies collapsed following the shooting death of two Pakistanis by Raymond Davis, a U.S. contracted spy who is in jail in Pakistan facing possible multiple murder charges. rtwt for more revelations like: The statement accused the CIA of using pressure tactics to free Davis. NATO and U.S. operations in Afghanistan could be adversely effected by a split between the ISI and the CIA. It's time for Barry to follow through on his threat to invade Pakistan.
