Don't see how you can be so flippant about throwing in 'participation of the ISI' in there - in essence you are replicating the distorted thought process and conspiratorial mindset of the US Establishement that Muse referred to - of concocting an imaginary enemy and bogeyman in the ISI.
AM, I would like you to take a note of how international relations work. It is always less about proof, and more about knowledge/intel. Whenever any attack originated from the land of Pakistan, ISI's part has been more than often looked for. It is not an exception, rather a norm that whatever country an attack comes from, the intelligence agency's involvement is first thing to look for.
But that kind of knowledge cannot be made public, because if it is made public, then the public will shout out to go for a war against that nation - Pakistan in this case. And for a long time, the US needed Pakistan in different ways for different purposes, so the US had to deliberately overlook such involvements.
However, such involvements are always talked, discussed, and deliberated upon in closed door meetings. In more than one, very grave occasions, ISI's name was mentioned. And each time the answerable officers denied any involvement (of the ISI) but at the same time asked for a closed door briefing on the same (ISI's involvement).
One such case was ISI Chief's facilitating the transfer of the sum of $100,000 to Mohammad Atta through Sheikh Saeed. The FBI officer investigating the financials, while denying the ISI's involvement, quickly asked for a closed door briefing.
One more recent case is that of Faisal Shahzad. It was never brought to light throughout the period till the US kept hoping for more action on part of Pakistan, but when the hostility came out in the open - it was revealed to the public that the ISI had full knowledge of fund transfer to Faisal Shahzad for all his efforts to explode a bomb on Time's Square.
So you see, it is not the conspiratorial mindset, rather keeping things under wrap and not disclosing anything until there's any need. Non-disclosure of any such info does not mean they have closed their eyes to it. They just keep it that way to get their work done where Pakistan's participation becomes indispensable.
The enemy is not imaginary, and has been there for a long time now.
And Pakistan was also responsible for capturing and deporting Ramzi Yousuf and Aimal Kasi, not to mention the subsequent hundreds of operationally important AQ HVT's and members, KSM, Libbi etc.
Don't you think most of these captures/killings were less out of PA's own conviction, and more because it was under immense pressure from the US?
