Is Pakistan's ISI (Inter-Service Intelligence) the bin Laden group or are they connected with the Pak government in any way?

Sounds like we are taking a side trip to the Pakistani border...

WARNING: DEBKA is widely discounted by FReepers as a source of credible news.

Think about the logic of this. Does it make sense given the pervasive surveillance?

DEBKA is less credible than PRAVDA at the height of the Cold War.

Fun to read though.

No, smells like more Debka-ka-ka. I'm really sure that the United States, with air supremecy, would allow several Pakistani flights to land in Afghanistan to remove Al Queda members. This one is the most ludicrous Debka-ka-ka claim yet, and that's saying something...

[johniegrad]

This has been addressed and refuted by the Department of Defense on several occasions. What are DEBKA's sources?

[AlaskaErik]

If DEBKA says it's so, it isn't. Credibility meter still reading zero.

[b4its2late]

And our AWACS didn't see them... They must have stealth technology now, in addition to nuclear weapons, in Pakistan.

[Travis McGee]

Another steaming truckload of horse manure from DEBKA, the folks who dreamed up 500,000 Chinese troops hiding in the Sudan.

I guess that DEBKA must believe that Antonov transport planes are now painted in stealthy "invisible paint", and are able to sneak out under the gaze of JSTARS etc.

[wideawake]

Haven't you been warned about DEBKA's zero credibility before?

If DEBKA says it, the opposite is always true. Always.

[Billthedrill]

Oh, I believe it, all right. After all, the Taliban own the sky...uh...don't they?

[VRWC_minion]

Did they use Price Chopper.com or Travelocity ?

[mercy]

Well it's DEBKA so it cannot likely be true. If it is true, the only way we would let it happen is because we have already placed Pakistan as no.2 on the list and need some good excuses.

[MissAmericanPie]

Our guys say they control the air and no one is allowed to fly in or out. Unless the wool is being pulled over our eyes, we would not allow planes to land and take off with the enemy.

[mercy]

Furthermore this is an excellent illustration as to why I never bother with WND anymore.

[GVnana]

DOD says it ain't happening.

[11th Earl of Mar]

DEDBKA blah, blah, blah

Did they also airlift the 20,000 Chineese and Bush's tactical nuclear weapons?

[japaneseghost]

This was discussed on the Sunday talk shows. Some American politician (I forgot who) said that the US is most probably turning a blind eye to Pakistan's repatriating thousands of Paki taliban soldiers.

[KayEyeDoubleDee]

Is Pakistan's ISI (Inter-Service Intelligence) the bin Laden group or are they connected with the Pak government in any way?

Yes and No. The ISI is the official Pakistan intelligence. They have been supporters of the Taliban. Most people think they know where Bin Laden is most of the time. Apparently they have much more radical leanings/interests than the more-moderate Pakistani president.

My understanding is taht the ISI really spearheaded all the training, etc during the Afghan war and we mostly just supplied the money and hardware. The ISI actually determined where and to whom it would go.

Feel free to correct the above generalizations as you see fit...

[SunStar]

Pakistan and the U.S. Pentagon have already dismissed this story as untrue. Debka is just parroting the Indian source who "broke" the story.

[NC Conservative]

If it smells like BS, looks like BS, then it is BS

[Bikers4Bush]

The source that sits on my desk (Magic 8 Ball) says "No".

It's at least as credible as DEBKA and I shook it and asked the same question three times.

[Kierkegaard]

Someone needs to post a tally o' the Taliban, me say, Afghan-i-stan-i-o poppy Debka cocka doody o' .....like umpteen Russian soldiers and Chinese towel heads in Afghanistan and other such garbage "reported" by Debka sources.
