No one should be surprised by this. But all the learned analysts who know how much we need Pakistan will be. Double Game Update: "Pakistani Army ran Muslim extremist training camps, says anti-terrorist expert," by Charles Bremner in the Times Online, November 14 (thanks to Kris):
The Pakistani Army ran training camps for a Muslim extremist group, at least until recently, with the acceptance of the US Central Intelligence Agency, according to France's foremost anti-terrorist expert.Jean-Louis Bruguière, who retired in 2007 after 15 years as chief investigating judge for counter-terrorism, reached this conclusion after interrogating a French militant who had been trained by Lashkar-e-Taiba and arrested in Australia in 2003.
In a book in his counter-terrorism years, Mr Bruguière says that Lashkar-e-Taiba, which was set up to fight India over disputed Kashmir territory, had become part of the international Islamic network of al-Qaeda.
Willy Brigitte, the suspect, told Mr Bruguière, that the Pakistani military were running the Lashkar-e-Taiba training camp where he spent 2½ months in 2001-02. Along with two Britons and two Americans, Brigitte was driven in a 4x4 through army roadblocks to the high-altitude camp where more than 2,000 men were being trained by Pakistani regular army officers, he said.
"The links between the Lashkar-e-Taiba and the Pakistani Army are more than close. Brigitte observed this twice," Mr Bruguière said. "When the camp was resupplied, all the materiel was dropped off by Pakistani army helicopters. And there were regular inspections by the Pakistani Army and the CIA."...
////they know more than we do....so back to digging potatoes
proles
Brilliant observation...
I don't think Pakistan will worry to much about these revelations...They will just demand more jizya from Obama... In order to root out these bad army guys more funds are needed. Most likely Rasool Obama will see the wisdom of this and send a supplemental check...Probably for billions...It cost a lot of US taxpayers money to root out bad army guys...there are so many...
"The Pakistani Army ran training camps for a Muslim extremist group, at least until recently, with the acceptance of the US Central Intelligence Agency, according to France's foremost anti-terrorist expert."
No sh*t, Sherlock.
Question is, what are they going to do about it? Ah, thought so, more *cough* international aid.
The CIA is an anti-American organization that since its founding was infiltrated by communist sympathizers and agents. Since the 80s it began an unholy alliance with the forces of the Jihad. It has left a bloody mess around the world and contributed to anti-American sentiments without helping the national interests of the United States. Worst of all, it has engaged in anti-American activities within the borders of the United States and funded radicals like Gloria Steinem which have done irreparable damage to the institute of the American family and contributed to the gender wars, the steady move to the left by the public and the gutter culture that is replacing all that was once good and noble.
The FBI and the CIA are nests of incompetence at best and treason at worst. This organization and other entrenched blood-sucking parasites are a few of the reasons that I have come to believe that the US is doomed. As I see it, we will be done in by the negative internal forces of Statism, socialism, corruption and a steady rot of patriotism and the moral fiber of the U.S before Jihad has a chance to destroy us.
And I digress:
India should view the U.S. government as an undeclared enemy. The U.S. government is strictly in Pakistan’s corner and has repeatedly thrown India under the bus, just as it has always done to its faithful allies: the Hmong, the Montagnards, the Shah’s regime, the Serbs and more recently the Israelis.
I suggest that Indian Americans start a lobby and push for a change in American policy vis a vie India as well as expose with the widest possible dissemination the crimes committed against defenseless Indians which are aided and abetted by an arm of the US. Government. The war on terror is a phony trillion dollar grab from the American tax payers which the members of the armed forces are paying for the failure, corruption and Macavelianism of a demented élite.
"with the acceptance of the US Central Intelligence Agency"
Seems like we're still playing with fire like we were in the 80s when we supported the mujahideen against the Soviets. I don't mind our intelligence agencies using the enemy and playing with fire -- as long as they know what they're doing; and it's evident they haven't learned a thing since the 80s about the Islam behind the dizzyingly complex taxonomy of myriad jihadist groups, groupuscules, sub-groupuscules and para-groupuscules. Their learned analysts, like those whose analyses one can glimpse at the website Jihadica, can see and catalogue all the myriad species and subspecies of mosquitoes pullulating out of the swamp of Islam, but they refuse to notice, much less study, the swamp itself.
This refusal by our intelligence analysts to recognize the nutritional matrix of the jihadists leads to an explanatory vacuum. The analyst either assumes these mosquitoes just appear out of thin air without any cause, or -- more likely -- he fills that explanatory vacuum with non-Islamic explanations, usually leading back to blaming the West, and particularly America, for the genesis and continuing pullulation of all this wondrous variety that is the tapestry of militant jihadism around the world.
