Pakistan’s ISI may be out of control

August 21, 2008

Recently, The New York Times revealed that US intelligence officials had concluded that Pakistan’s powerful Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) agency was responsible for the July 7 bomb attack on the Indian Embassy in Kabul, which killed more than 60 people. As a result, Pakistan’s new prime minister, Yousuf Raza Gilani, finds himself in a tight spot. While angrily dismissing accusations of the ISI’s involvement, Gilani has vowed to act decisively should he be presented with evidence to the contrary. Gilani’s indignation aside, the ISI has long been alleged to support Islamic militants.  >>>>>

Is the NYT talking abou the same ISI described here?  The Bush Administration consciously took the decision in “the post September 11 consultations” with Lt. General Mahmoud Ahmad to directly “cooperate” with Pakistan’s military intelligence (ISI) despite its links to Osama bin Laden and the Taliban and its alleged role in the assassination of Commander Masood, which coincidentally occurred two days before the terrorist attacks.” — Michael Chossudovsky

Maybe because the US knew that Osama really didn’t do it.  Are the ISI “out of control” because their loyalties seem to be shifting?  Who’s control should they have been under before?  India, US or Israel?
