New ISI DG Appointed

[muse]

Mr. Musharraf may have well know the duplicity of the US, however; what he may have underestimated is the Pakistani politiicans desire for power, even if it means harm to Pakistan - Now it is Mr. Gen. Kiyani and Mr. Gen. Pasha turn, they are on a short leash, especially Mr. Gen. Kiyani - Batmannow is absolute correct in his assessment that instead of Pakistan first, it is now neocon US first - this must stop. It's bad for the US, it's bad for Pakistan. A combination of international powers have decided that the ISI is a thorn in their sides, that the ISI's primary mission is safeguarding Pakistani interests, seems a moot point to them, and why not, after all, they do not care about Pakistani interests.

Unless Pakistan is retrieved from the US, it's existence will continue to be hostage to the whims of a combination of powers who see opportunity in the Pakistani politicians lust for personal power.



Editorial from IHT
There's no time to lose for Pakistan's new spy chief
Published: October 2, 2008


For too long, Pakistan's military and intelligence service have played a cynical and dangerous double-game: accepting billions of dollars in American aid while also aiding the Taliban and other extremists who threaten the United States, Afghanistan and, increasingly, Pakistan's fragile democracy.

Pakistan's military chief, General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani, has been under strong pressure from Washington and his own government to clean up the intelligence service. We hope his decision to appoint a new spy chief this week means that he has decided to finally put an end to that destructive game.

Kayani took over the army last November after Pervez Musharraf relinquished the role in hopes of holding on to the presidency. When Pakistan's new civilian leaders decided to oust Musharraf, Kayani distinguished himself by remaining on the sideline. The general has also pledged to reform Pakistan's intelligence service, which has long used the Taliban and other extremists to project power in Afghanistan and the Indian Kashmir. On that front, his record is less encouraging.

Kayani blocked an effort two months ago by Pakistan's civilian leaders to wrest control of the intelligence agency from the army.

American officials say members of the spy agency helped militants plan a deadly bombing of India's embassy in Kabul on July 7.

Kayani has now put his own loyalist, Lieutenant General Ahmed Shuja Pasha, at the top of the intelligence service.

The two men must root out tainted officials and make clear that it is no longer Pakistan's policy to promote extremists of any stripe. They must also retrain their agents and military forces in counterinsurgency warfare.

Whether they are up to those tasks is unclear. If there is another incident like the Indian embassy bombing, the buck now clearly stops at Kayani's desk.

President Asif Ali Zardari is speaking out forcefully (in English, at least) about the need for Pakistan, not just America, to defeat the extremists. In August, the Pakistani Army opened a full-scale battle to rout militants in the Bajaur tribal area, a Taliban and Al Qaeda stronghold along the Afghan border.

There's no time to lose. The militants are fiercely holding their ground and using increasingly sophisticated tactics, weapons and communications to attack Afghanistan. The deadly bombing at Islamabad's Marriott Hotel last month is a chilling sign of the extremists' ability to directly threaten Pakistan.



Clearly, it not just Taliban and AQ that threaten Pakistan, now even editorial writers are emboldened to threat the Pakistan COAS. US elections around the corner, should the Repulican party of the neocon win this election, the world will be an even more dangerous place and Pakistan's existence, unless the Pakistani politicians especially the religious poilitical parties, are put back in their box, even if, by less than constitutional means, Pakistan's continued existence will remain in doubt.

 

[asaad-ul-islam]

if certain powers want to clip the wings of the "dreaded" isi, the intelligence officers must be doing something right? notice the coordinated effort of certain govt.'s, media, and india, publicizing an agency which at one time had no publicity except within in its own domain.

for those of you who are sitting in the west, haven't you noticed the lack of coverage of the recent successful military operations? a thousand militants have been wiped out within a week or two, instead we end up seeing incursions on our own soil and a tense border standoff. kind of weird isn't it, I mean what is the purpose of this war?

The pakistani military will only act with national interests in mind, don't take these rumours of US displeasure seriously. The recent DG ISI shuffle was going to happen around this time and has absolutely nothing to do with foreign pressure. I mentioned this many times before and will say it again, "sab seh pehlay Pakistan", that phrase may have been coined by Musharraf, but is without a doubt the main motto of the armed forces and intelligence.

An ominous outcome of Zardari-Singh talks
M Ashraf Mirza

According to the joint communiqué issued at the end of the meeting between President Asif Zardari and Indian Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh in New York last week, Pakistan has agreed to provide transit facilities for India ’s trade to Afghanistan. The two countries have also agreed to revive their stalled composite dialogue to address their outstanding issues including the core issue of Jammu and Kashmir. The agreement was reached between the two leaders at their meeting on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly annual session in New York . They also decided to open some trade routes between the two countries and across the Line of Control. The communiqué said that Pakistan will take ‘severe’ action against those involved in terrorist acts’ in India as well as in occupied Kashmir. Pakistan will also probe the Indian allegations about Pakistani intelligence agencies’ alleged involvement in the bombing the Indian embassy in Kabul last July, the communiqué said.

An objective analysis of the decisions taken at the Zardari-Manmohan meeting reveals that Pakistan has gained nothing. Pakistan has, as a matter fact, yielded almost on every count. Willingness to probe the terrorist acts in India and occupied Kashmir, to take severe action against those involved in such acts and to investigate the Indian allegation about Pakistani intelligence agencies’ involvement in the bombing of the Indian embassy in Kabul clearly constitute self indictment on the part of Pakistan. It amounts to accepting responsibility for all terrorist acts that have taken place anywhere in India . Pakistan ’s Foreign Office had repeatedly repudiated the Indian allegations of Pakistan ’s involvement in the terrorist acts. True that there is need for an atmosphere of cordiality, goodwill and reconciliation between the two countries in view of the multifarious challenges faced by the region, but there was certainly no justification to succumb to self incrimination to mollify India . Mr Zardari was not expected to show ‘dexterity and expertise’ in foreign affairs as well. Interestingly, Mr Zardari had also not bothered to seek briefing from the Foreign Office before embarking on the US trip for his maiden meetings with President Bush and Indian Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh as elected President of Pakistan. And Pakistan has conceded whatever India had desired in utter disregard to the ground reality that New Delhi is not only creating problems for Islamabad in Balochistan, but is also providing funds and weapons to the militants and terrorists in Tribal Areas to destabilize her. There exists unambiguous proof of Indian involvement in the situation that Pakistan is confronted with today at the hands of the terrorists and militants. NWFP Governor Owais Ghani (who formerly held the office of Governor Balochistan) has persistently pointed towards the Indian involvement in Pakistan ’s predicaments in Balochistan and Tribal Areas. Former President Pervez Musharraf handed over documentary evidence of Indian mischief in Balochistan to US President George W. Bush during his visit to the region in 2006. Yet we have opted to yield to New Delhi on matters of vital national interests in pursuit of the policy of appeasement. While India is bent upon undermining Pakistan ’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, we are facilitating India to consolidate economically, which in turn will help boost its military might.

The transit facility for Indian trade to Afghanistan has long remained a controversial issue and Pakistan had resisted it by linking it with the resolution of the Kashmir issue. The agreement to this effect between Zardari and Manmohan Singh is, therefore, unwarranted and represents outright violation of Pakistan ’s principled stand. The linkage of transit trade to Kabul with the settlement of the Kashmir dispute had provided Pakistan an edge to contain India ’s cherished plan to dominate the region economically. After the Musharraf-Shaukat Aziz duo trampled the nation’s resolve not to enter into trade with India before the resolution of the Kashmir issue, Mr Zardari’s nod to provide transit facility to New Delhi for trade with Afghanistan is certainly one up in the process of compromises of the national interests. Cunning as it is, India will obviously expand its trade to the Central Asian countries to realize its long cherished dream to monopolise trade in the region. And Kashmir dispute has obviously been thrown into the back burner.

The resumption of the Pak-India composite dialogue was hardly an issue since the talks were never stalled or broken. The process was only in abeyance due to the political situation in Pakistan . The two governments had already announced that their foreign secretaries will initiate the fifth round of the composite dialogue soon. The agreement to resume the composite dialogue was, therefore, hardly an issue. However, it’s quite pertinent that during the last four years, no progress, whatsoever, has been made on any of the outstanding issues between the two countries. The dialogue process is, in fact, India ’s deliberate tactic to keep Pakistan silent on the Kashmir issue, as Islamabad ’s moral, political and diplomatic support to the Kashmiris’ struggle for the restitution of their right to self determination embarrasses New Delhi . It’s thus Indian strategy to keep Pakistan quiet through the so-called dialogue process, which it remains determined not to let it succeed. While not a single issue has been addressed since the initiation of the dialogue process four years ago, New Delhi has created more issues by taking in hand the construction of Kishenganga and Baghlihar dams in violation of the Indus Basin Treaty. Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s assertion that India is bound by the Treaty is not different from his so called ‘resolve’ to address the Kashmir issue that persists between the two countries over the past six decades. Mr Manmohan has a strange stance on the issue: He says he is ‘committed’ to address the Kashmir issue, yet he is determined to see that borders are changed. He is also not ready to reduce troops from occupied Kashmir or to let the Kashmiri people have relief from the repression and oppression at the hands of over seven hundred thousand troops. It’s Indian trick to mislead the Pakistani leadership as well as the world community. India is, in fact, not interested in the resolution of the Kashmir issue, but only wants to keep Pakistan comforted with the continuation of the dialogue process. India is convinced that there is no military solution to the Kashmir issue and, therefore, its strategy is to keep the issue in a limbo. India ought to be, however, mindful that the strategy is not going to help her in the ultimate analysis. India will have to recognize the ground reality that no nation can be kept under subjugation indefinitely by dint of military might.

I wonder if Zardari was behind all those transfers implementing indian orders.

And now some thing (though off topic) on principle stand of Pakistan for the PPP activists.

The communiqué said that Pakistan will take ‘severe’ action against those involved in terrorist acts’ in India as well as in occupied Kashmir

Perfectly fine - we don't support violent groups in Kashmir now any way, and shouldn't - but Pakistan does not consider all the groups that led and participated in the massive protests recently 'terrorists', nor should there be any letup in support, material and moral, for those groups.

Will change of ISI chief improve Pakistan’s policy, image? ​

News Analysis

Saturday, October 04, 2008
By Amir Mir

LAHORE: The elevation of Lt-Gen Ahmed Shuja Pasha, the Director-General of Military Operations (DGMO), which is often described as the nerve centre of the Army, as the new chief of the Inter Services Intelligence (ISI), has raised prospects of a shift in the direction of the ISI in the US-led war against terror and the Taliban-linked militancy in the tribal areas, bordering the war-torn Afghanistan.

The changes seem to be part of a much broader shake-up of senior assignments involving 14 new promotions and senior commands which came at a time when the the Army chief is consolidating his own position and Pakistan is recasting its strategy in the war against terror following the once most trusted American ally General Musharraf's exit from the political scene. The main theme of the new appointments, which have been made nine months after the new Army chief took over, seems an assertion of greater control by Gen Ashfaq Kayani. Military circles believe the choice of generals getting promotions were entirely his own. The reshuffle also establishes Kayani's coming of age, cleansing his force of Gen Musharraf's controversial legacy by sidelining those who were closely aligned with the former military ruler.

As a part of the Sept 29 changes in the Army, Lt-Gen Ahmed Shuja Pasha succeeded Lt-Gen Nadeem Taj, who was considered to be a close associate of former president Musharraf. Taj, is was also distantly related to Musharraf, could not serve as the ISI director-general for more than a year. He took over as the ISI chief on Oct 8, 2007, after his promotion to the rank of Lt-Gen by Musharraf.

Military circles say Ahmed Shuja Pasha, who has been directly in command of an ongoing military campaign against Taliban militants in his capacity as the DGMO, is well respected at the Pentagon. Known for his public statements in support of Kayani's moves to depoliticise the Army and to combat militants, Pasha is considered to be a staunch Kayani loyalist who has attended all six meetings between the Army chief and the US Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff, Admiral Mike Mullen. The last such meeting was held on Aug 26, 2008 on the aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln.

Lt-Gen Pasha's appointment as the ISI chief comes almost two months after a July 26, 2008 Cabinet Division notification, announcing that the ISI directorate had been taken out of the prime minister's establishment and placed under the interior ministry. However, the government decision was rescinded the very next day.

Incidentally, Pasha has assumed the command of the ISI when relations between Islamabad and Washington are touching their lowest ebb since the 9/11 attacks. As the chief of the ISI, Pasha will be dealing with the American CIA whose chief recently stated that the threat of yet another 9/11-like terror attack on American soil is actually emanating from Pakistan and it has significantly been enhanced by the growing cooperation between Pakistani Taliban militants and elements of al-Qaeda. Military circles say Pasha's appointment means there would be hardly any change in the present Pakistani military strategy of dealing with the militants in the tribal areas.

Lt-Gen Pasha's elevation also indicates Gen Kayani's close alignment with the American strategy in the tribal areas, attempting to rope in the ISI to neutralise the anti-US forces among the Taliban and other militant groups in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Pasha, a Pashtun officer from the Frontier Force, was previously the Commandant of the prestigious Command and Staff College at Quetta, and Commander Pakistan Contingent (PAKCON) in Sierra Leone in 2002. Promoted from the rank of brigadier to that of maj-gen by Musharraf in January, 2003, Pasha is set to serve the armed forces for four more years as he is due to retire in Sept 2012. He has commanded an infantry brigade and an infantry division and has served as the Chief Instructor of the Command and Staff College.

As a brigadier, he had served as a contingent and sector commander with the United Nations Mission in Sierra Leone in 2001-2002. Interestingly, Musharraf had relieved Pasha as the DGMO in Oct, 2007 to pave the way for his appointment as Military Adviser, Department of Peacekeeping Operations, in the United Nations headquarters, in place of General Per Arne Five of Norway. An announcement on his posting in the UN headquarters was also made by the office of the UN secretary-general. However, his posting did not materialise in view of the growing crisis in the trouble-stricken Swat Valley and the NWFP which were literally falling to the Taliban, prompting Musharraf to order an intense military operation against the militants led by Pasha, being the DGMO.

As a matter of fact, it was Pasha who got the TNSM (Tehrik-e-Nifaz-e-Shariat-e-Mohammadi) founder Maulana Sufi Mohammad released from prison after six long years in May 2008, as part of a peace deal between the military and the militants, to bring peace to the area. In January, 2008, Pasha had announced that his troops had defeated the TNSM and freed the Swat Valley from the control of the TNSM. His claim came to haunt him shortly thereafter when the militants in Swat led by Maulana Fazlullah, the son-in-law of Maulana Sufi Mohammad, staged a comeback, launched a series of suicide bombings targeting the security forces, and eventually re-established their control over large parts of the trouble-ridden Swat Valley. The fighting there is still going on.

In addition to Lt-Gen Nadeem Taj's removal as the ISI chief, two major-generals, heading the internal and external wings of the ISI, have been denied promotion and superseded. Maj-Gen Nusrat Naeem, the head of the ISI's internal wing and Maj-Gen Asif Akhtar, the head of the ISI's external wing, have been superceded, but have been allowed to continue till their superannuation as major-generals.

Another important change within the ISI is Maj-Gen Zahirul Islam, who has been appointed as the director-general counter intelligence, the second most important post in the ISI. According to military circles, these changes show Gen Kayani and Lt-Gen Pasha would install their trusted generals in the critical operational jobs. As a result of the reshuffle, Gen Kayani will have in the key slots of the Chief of General Staff (CGS), Director-General of ISI, and Corps Commander, Rawalpindi, those people who owe their promotion as lieutenant-general to him and not to their former boss Gen Musharraf. These three coveted slots make up an informal troika within the Army without whose support no Army chief can stage a coup, as per the conventional wisdom. The khakis appointed to these slots as well as to the post of the DGMO are usually considered to be confirmed loyalists of the Army chief. Military circles say the Army reshuffle indicates that there is unlikely to be any change in the Kashmir policy of the Army.

Restructuring the ISI​

Comment: Shaukat Qadir

There is little doubt that the entire intelligence and security system in Pakistan needs revamping, but not the way the Americans want it

After a series of accusations against Pakistan’s premier intelligence organisation, the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), we recently had another demand from the US, that it be restructured. Before addressing this issue, it is necessary to briefly review the recent history of the ISI to understand the reasons for the accusations and the demands that followed.

During the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan, the CIA worked hand in glove with the ISI, funnelling billions of dollars in cash and munitions of war. After the Soviet withdrawal, followed by the US abandonment of Afghanistan, the ISI had no control over the anarchical events that ensued, until the Taliban entered the affray in 1994, bringing some sort of peace in their wake. At least until 1996, when they fell under the influence of Osama bin Laden. However, the ISI’s influence on the Taliban continued till 9/11.

Throughout this period, including that of the Taliban, the CIA continued close collaboration with the ISI, often referring to the ISI as ‘among the most efficient and well organised intelligence organisations in the world’ and as ‘our closest and most reliable partner’. In private, it went so far as to acknowledge that it (CIA) received greater cooperation from the ISI than it did from Mossad, the Israeli intelligence agency.

During this period, the ISI was the sole actor supporting and, whenever necessary, participating in the Afghan jihad, and the principal one involved in the originally indigenous uprising in Indian administered Kashmir.

Consequently, apart from senior officers, a large percentage of middle and even junior ranking officers became infused with admiration for the courage and conviction of the mujahideen. Some became ardent, even stringent, Muslims, even though they had moderate backgrounds; others were religiously inclined to start with and only became more so; all were ardent believers in the concept of and necessity for jihad, whether in Afghanistan or Kashmir, or elsewhere in the world. Many of them were intended to serve out their military careers in the ISI. Some were even re-employed post retirement till superannuation at the age of sixty.

In the post 9/11 scenario, when the Pakistani government decided to take a U-turn on its Taliban policy and, a few years later, on its policy of supporting militancy in Kashmir, a large number of ISI personnel felt personally betrayed, including the incumbent Director General Lt Gen Mahmood, who even attempted, successfully on occasions, to subvert then COAS Gen Musharraf’s personal efforts.

Therefore, if in the period between 2000 and 2003, the ISI had been accused of hosting potential rogue elements, there would have been justification for it. However, in 2000, when Gen Mahmood was sacked, Gen Ehsan took over as DG ISI with the principal task of purging it. He was succeeded by Gen Kayani, now COAS, who completed the process: there are now no rogues or pro-jihad elements in the ISI today.

There is, however, one astounding reality. The appointment of the DG ISI used to be the prerogative of the prime minister, another prerogative assumed to himself by Musharraf. Yet, seven months after the newly elected government assumed power, even after it got rid of Musharraf, Lt Gen Nadeem Taj, a known Musharraf loyalist and a Musharraf appointee, continued as DG ISI!

Since it would be unfair to underestimate President Zardari, it is highly unlikely that this controversial retention is an oversight. Therefore, it would be fair to assume that there was method to this apparent madness, not visible to the ordinary eye. Gen Taj has finally been replaced by Lt Gen Ahmed Shuja Pasha, who is held in high esteem in the army. The change has occurred in routine, on the retirement of some three-star officers and promotion of others to their vacancies. That, perhaps, might have been one consideration; the change should not be seen as succumbing to US pressure.

I have reiterated that Gen Kayani has been at pains to demonstrate that he has no intention to interfere in the fledgling political process in Pakistan, but with his rather unexpectedly (for some) tough stand on unilateral US incursions into our territory, he has helped the political leadership formulate a policy that can successfully deal with the domestic war on terror while emphasising the issue of Pakistan’s sovereignty — ‘we will scotch our own snakes’.

So what restructuring of the ISI does the US expect from our political leaders? A symbolic sacking of the DG might have sufficed. But obviously, that did not suit Zardari or it would have been done at a stage when the US accused the ISI of complicity in bombing the Indian Embassy in Afghanistan, instead of shuffling the ISI to be placed under the Interior Ministry and then back again.

It all boils down to one fact: since the US is not prepared to accept that it is fast losing control, if it hasn’t already lost it, in Afghanistan, the only plausible explanation — from an American perspective — for the continued unrest in Afghanistan is that it is exported from Pakistan. Since an efficient organisation like the ISI could reduce it considerably and has not done so, ergo ISI has to be complicit. Restructure it!

Considering incidents like the Red Mosque episode last year, and the suicide attack at the Marriott Hotel September 21 this year, there is little doubt that the entire intelligence and security system in Pakistan needs revamping, but not the way the Americans want it.

This article is the first in a two-part series. The concluding article will appear next Saturday. These articles are modified from a series that originally appeared in the National

i have been high-lighting this in some of my posts. this is the key issue which requires revamping. how to manage / control these mid-level officers who remain in contact with their clients after their retirement. one way would be to ensure that officers are only allowed to serve in the ISI for a period of 2-yrs and then transferred out.

US watches for payoff from Pakistan ISI move


Terror suspects caught in Bajaur during a recent operation. 'A major test for Pasha will be whether Pakistan can capture or kill a senior fighter.'

WASHINGTON: Pakistan's decision to replace its intelligence chief moves toward addressing a long-held US concern about the country's ability to fight border-area militants, but may not succeed on its own.

The Bush administration, wary of inflaming anti-US sentiment in Pakistan, has been quiet in responding to the appointment this week of Lt.-Gen. Ahmed Shujaa Pasha as director-general of the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) Directorate.

But one US official said Pasha, a former head of military operations, is strongly qualified for the job.

In making the move, Pakistan's army chief Gen. Ashfaq Kayani put in place an ally with experience in border areas that Taliban and al Qaeda militants have made their hideout, the US official and terrorism analysts said.

That could strengthen the Pakistan military's hand in fighting the militants, whose attacks against US-led forces in Afghanistan are on the increase.

‘He (Pasha) comes to the job with serious qualifications. He knows military operations and knows tribal areas. He is also close to Gen. Kayani and has spoken publicly about the danger that extremism poses to Pakistan. But that said, ultimately what counts most are actions on the ground,’ the US official said.

A major test will be whether Pakistan can capture or kill a senior fighter, said Bryan Glyn Williams, a University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth professor who has testified as an expert witness at a Guantanamo terrorism trial.
‘They have been catastrophically incapable of getting high-level Taliban targets. This is how Pasha can prove that he's serious,’ Williams said.

Often referred to by critics as a ‘state within a state’, the ISI helped the United States eliminate hundreds of al Qaeda fighters after the Sept. 11 attacks.

But US officials fear the ISI may be playing a double-game, backing the Taliban and other militants as allies to gain leverage in Afghanistan and Indian Kashmir.

Washington has privately urged Pakistan's six-month-old civilian government to exert more control over the agency.

White House spokesman Gordon Johndroe declined to comment on Pasha's appointment. ‘That's an internal matter to Pakistan,’ Johndroe said.

Pentagon spokesman Geoff Morrell also declined to discuss the appointment, but said, ‘We are encouraging of the Pakistani government's reorganizing itself as necessary to take on the threat emanating from the tribal areas.’

Hassan Abbas, a Harvard University research fellow and former border-area Pakistani police chief, called Pasha's appointment a ‘very important move.’ He cited Pasha's service with UN peacekeeping, experience as director of army operations in a border region, and his ties to Kayani.

‘This choice shows that (Pakistan President Asif Ali) Zardari is providing Kayani every chance to strengthen his hold in (the) army and confront the terrorists strongly,’ he said.

Abbas said the next six months would tell whether Zardari's strategy is working.

The United States may have to boost quiet pressure on Zardari to succeed in shutting down support for the militant fighters that extends to high levels of the government, said terrorism analyst Seth Jones of the Rand Corp.

An effort may be needed like the US pressure on former President Pervez Musharraf after the Sept. 11 attacks, when Washington said he must either support the US battle to oust Afghanistan's Taliban government or be considered an enemy, Jones said.

He said Pakistan still holds a view of its national interest that sees the Taliban as a counter to rival influences in Afghanistan. ‘The issue is less who is running them (the ISI) than the strategic interests of the state,’ he added.

Aye tair-e-lahooti us rizq se maut achchi

If Pakistan Would have not taken any AID from foreign Countries we would not have been in this condition. Pakistan must abolish the habit of begging from here and there Pakistan must break the God damned KUSHKOOL for ever.

When foreign countries Give us AID (Charity) they EARN A RIGHT TO Dictate their terms to us. That's why Whenever there is a big change in our ranks we look towards our DONORS whether they are satisfied or not, no matter even its the position for President, Prime minister, Chief of Armed staff, DG ISI and even if we have to change the CHAPRASSI of any institution we have to get the Approval of the Foreign countries.

Is this for what Pakistan was Made for ?
