Gitmo detainees quizzed about ISI networks
2005-05-24
Three Pakistani prisoners who returned from Guantanamo Bay in September last year recently told a joint interrogation team (JIT) of several intelligence agencies that the Americans were curious about the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and wanted information on the agency's networks in Afghanistan and Iran. They also corroborated reports that US interrogators desecrated the Quran.
Proving that our intel guys aren't real stoopid and that the turbans like to sing in harmony...
According to documents obtained by Daily Times, Military Intelligence (MI), Intelligence Bureau (IB), ISI, Special Investigation Group (SIG) and Sindh Police personnel conducted the joint interrogation of Abid Raza, Mohammad Anwar and Mohammad Ilyas in Karachi, Hyderabad and Mirpurkhas prisons from April 18 to May 10 this year. The three, along with a dozen others, had arrived from Guantanamo Bay in September last year. After detaining them at Adyala Jail in Rawalpindi for about eight months, the authorities took them to prisons in Sindh in early April. The three prisoners, who had been taken to the Guantanamo detention facility from Afghanistan in January 2002, said the Americans interrogated them about Al Qaeda, the Taliban and ISI.
Grouping the three together almost as thought they were one...
"But most of their questions were about the ISI. They wanted to know how many of those detained in Guantanamo had been associated with the ISI. They would to ask things like what were the networks of the ISI in Afghanistan and Iran, how the agency worked in those countries and who were working for the ISI in Afghanistan and Iran," the Guantanamo returnees told the JIT.

#5  I'm always amused when I see TV footage of the Pak army 'hunting' al-qaeda types.

The official motto of the Pak army is "Jihad and Piety in the name of Allah"

The ISI is just giving expression to that motto.

"Terror struck into the hearts of the enemies is not only a means, it is the end in itself. Once a condition of terror into the opponent’s heart is obtained, hardly anything is left to be achieved. It is the point where the means and the end meet and merge. Terror is not a means of imposing decision upon the enemy (sic); it is the decision we wish to impose upon him."
- Brig. S.K. Malik, The Quranic Concept of War, 1986, p. 59.

"I write these few lines to commend Brigadier Malik's book on 'The Koranic Concept of War' to both soldier and civilian alike. JEHAD FI-SABILILLAH is not the exclusive domain of the professional soldier, nor is it restricted to the application of military force alone."
GENERAL M. ZIA-UL-HAQ
Chief of the Army Staff

#4  If you really want to get a Paki worked up ask him if he thinks Pakistan will ever be able to beat India in cricket.

#3  Some days I get the feeling that my very existence "desecrates the Koran".

#2  About f*cking time! Has the Clue Bat™ struck our intel folks? The ISI is the biggest pack of jihadi enablers since the House of Sod.
I used to be dumb enough to think they were a "stabilizing presence" in the region, lol. What a fool. The more I find out about Pakiwakiland, the more I find out what a cess pool of islamofascism, corruption, and just plain nut-bag-ery it is.
