Journalist Saleem Shahzad Abducted and found dead.

Hmmm my source is insisting Saleem has been detained by the ISI to reveal his sources for the info he gets....

If this is true then it is sad because journalists should not be kidnapped and pressured to reveal their sources...

Your guys are really incredible, even when things are in such a great mess in your country, you guys still blame others for the rot that has set in inside Pakistan without recognising and accepting the real problem. All these problems are occurring because of the total Islamisation of your armed forces, bureaucracy, judiciary and your national polity. The strongest pillar of Pakistan is its Army and thanks to Zia-ul-Haq, the defence services are very deeply Islamised today. Whether it was the attacks on Musharraf or the GHQ attack or on the para military recruits a couple of weeks ago or the one on PNS Mehran, all were facilitated by radical insiders. Not Indians or Americans or Jews, all Pakistanis who had taken the oath to defend the country. The attacks on the Governor, the minorities minister or Benazir were not carried out by Indians or Americans. Even the educated civil society of Pakistan is highly either highly radicalised of totally cowed down by the radicals. The few isolated voices of reason that one get to hear from Pakistan are immediately drowned out either by being branded Indian agents or are threatened into submission or simply gunned down. Where do you think all this is leading? I think there is still time to rein in these radicals but a very concerted effort has to be made. But first the real problem has to be understood and accepted. Opportunists like ZA Bhutto and Zia are more to blame for Pakistan's troubles than the WOT.

This is not a troll or an attempt to belittle Pakistan, just my analysis of the situation.

This is a classic troll... Get a life
 
the initial investigations suggest that the american contracts were involved in the attack on naval base...

Wo dont want to sound like someone who sees things with his eyes closed... but this is exactly what I said after the attacks... Any reference to this Leader?
 
I'm with Mukherjee on this, this is absolutely INCREDIBLE! Normally people see the assistance of LEA, but this story suggests that Pakistanis seek relief from LEA --

It's really curious, if ISI wanted to talk to Mr. Shahzad, why not a meeting at the office or at a hotel - why abduction??
 
Ok then... let me tell you who is saying its the ISI...

Saleem's own brother in law... who is also a journalist...

ISI cant even handle a single gora scumbag like Raymond Davis... when it has an American stooge at the top like Pasha, you think ISI will work according to some rules and law?

Shahzad's family left for Jhelum on being informed by police about the car being found in the area.

Reports quoted Shahzad's relatives as saying that initial descriptions did not indicate that the body was that of the missing journalist.

Rights groups like the Human Rights Watch have said they believe Shahzad is in the custody of Pakistani intelligence agencies.

Shahzad, who is the Pakistan bureau chief of Asia Times Online, went missing days after authoring an article in which he contended that Al Qaeda attacked a naval airbase in Karachi after failed talks with the navy to release some arrested persons.

He had left his house in Islamabad to participate in a television programme on Sunday but did not reach the TV station
