The gravity of ISI coverup and outright taking care of and likely using OBL and al Qaida for the ISI purposes is a sad and tragic story of betrayal of the millions of innocent grassroots citizens of Pakistan who do not like nor want al Qaida and it's stooges in their nation any more than we want...

I am very glad we caught this thug. I made this open posting as this story is openly available here in the US and is fair news to discuss. That fact that so very many terrorists exist with ISI support and direction inside Pakistan is paramount but this US story fairly is a collateral story, too.
