***********************EXCERPT************************

Sharing Intelligence Often Nets An Alerted EnemyAdding fuel to the fires of concern, Syed Saleem Shahzad reported in his latest from the region, ‘Taliban a step ahead of US assault’, that the United States supplied Musharraf’s government with detailed and specific intelligence on 29 al-Qaeda and Taliban terrorist training camps operating in the provinces of North Waziristan and South Waziristan. Not long after that transfer of intelligence, all but one of the terror camps went cold.

fyi

Didn’t the ISI initially help to set up the Taliban in Afghanistan in the first place?

[AU72]

Yeah, Paki Intelligence will be purged of non-jihadists.

Stories of the ISI being a jihadi haven/promotion center have been on FR for years. (Not dismissing your post, EATB.) Their persistence over this time makes “sharing” any intelligence with the Pakistani government a bad move.

I just hope that next time, instead of “reporting” jihadi training camps, that MOABs redress the situation.

Ms. Bhutto was no saint, but the Pakistanis should have learned something about who wants to run their country.

Waziristan could be in the process of splitting off from Pakistan if the Gov’t can’t establish a dominant presence. It will be bloody if it does and bloody if it doesn’t. This looks like a civil war just starting.

Coincidence.

Why do they call them intelligence agencies??

Dave & Jack,
Youse guys think this is worth another MI Ping today?

[RadioCirca1970]

the FATA and North Waziristan are essentially Al Qaeda-Stan. They feature over 100 AQ Training Camps. All these peace deals between Pak and the Tban ar a joke. There have been dozens, read the posts on this at LongWarJournal.Org and listen to the CovertRadioShow.Com podcasts, you will find out what is really going on.

MI Ping - Another Paki thing

[Saberwielder]

Thanks for the ping. Honestly, I’m skeptical about these claims. We heard of purges in the ISI about a dozen times since 9/11.

You cannot reform the ISI. You can only dismantle it. I hope it does not take another 9/11 for that.
