Thank you for the education.
de nada
I don't doubt this. If American officials believe that OBL would have been tipped off if they had informed Pakistan, then the ISI must have had a human asset nearby to communicate with OBL in an emergency. (A phone call would have been detected.)
sure, and where is that phone call? I've heard nothing about it. So therefore, what you're saying (like a lot of other things you say) is pure speculation.
Speculation alone can never be mistaken as fact.
I understand that the rest of the world works one way but Pakistan desires America to conform to its desires.
such is not the case, that is your own hunch perhaps.
though when it concerns our internal affairs, you have an obligation to heed to it. For example, Pakistan requested 150 US personnel to pack their bags and scram. And that is what they are doing now.
as you are in our neighbourhood and as your NATO supplies are going through Pakistan on such a large scale, it seems only natural that Pakistani concerns be taken into consideration. However such has not whole-heartedly been the case.
a good example of that is foreign occupational forces tacit approval of terrorists like Bramdagh Bugti having safe-haven in NATO-controlled Afghanistan.
Even Pakistan's ambassador to the U.S. tells us not to trust the head of the ISI, something the ISI chief complained about in parliament last month.
oh i'm sorry, i think you meant US ambassador to Pakistan.....the one who himself at one time was an informant for this very same ISI --and was a darling of Nawaz Sharif and his cronies. According to some sources, he even was involved in a conspiracy to assasinate the then Prime Minister B. Bhutto.
a man of many hats!
And damaged the Pakistan's reputation with the American gov't, as Pakistan admitted just before Davis was released (ransomed?) that immunity had been applied for him and the MFA had not filed an objection. That means that under international law meant Davis had diplomatic immunity and his arrest by Pakistan was a treaty violation that the GoP concealed for weeks.
he did not have diplomatic immunity as he was not working directly for the US embassy....it has already been established that he was a CIA contractor engaging in espionage. In some countries, this is punishable by death. Surprisingly (lamentably) -- this was not implemented in the RD saga.
as for the ''treaty'' you mention -- i would view it with the same value as the toilet paper I used this morning. I wonder if this treaty makes mention about sending rambo rogues to foreign countries to carry weapons, drive in fake registered cars, carry unlicensed weapons, surveil sensitive locations, shoot people....you know, the whole works.
I'm not sure that hasn't already happened.
you're not sure that it hasn't? Meaning you believe that is has. Always the speculator. Do shed some light.
If you want to stop being the ISI's lapdog there is only one way I know of: confess and expose all you know, as openly and publicly as possible.
is that the best you could come up with?
í'm afraid you'll have to try harder than that...get some sunlight, have a cool glass orange juice and then try again.
The result should be the re-establishment of the rule of law. (This was the technique Natan Sharansky employed to damage the KGB informant network while he was a political prisoner in Soviet labor camps.)
a country that invaded a sovereign one based on a pack of lies, a country that sends armed rogues to ''ally'' countries for espionage purposes, a country that is known to have destablized governments overseas --- cannot be the one to talk about the rule of law.
on this current issue -- the informants should be tried in court and if found guilty of espionage -- should face a firing squad.
Nothing personal, Soloman. Pakistanis don't appreciate terrorists or terrorism, but we sure as hell don't appreciate or condone spies or informants in our country who are not acting in PAKISTAN'S interests (in other words -- reporting TO Pakistan)
some western media raise speculation about Pakistanis employeed at strategic plans division of going rogue and nukes ''ending up in the hands of terrorists''
some could alternatively raise speculation about Pakistani fears of non-state individuals being bribed by outside countries to engage in activity that is counter to our interest......but then again, I think that already happens.
(we have state actor zardari, and US ambassador to Pakistan H.E. haqqani to do that for you
)
