"...Bush's ally, Pakistan, was the real supplier of nuclear terror."
Not to mention that the head of Pakistan's intelligence agency had money wired to Mohammed Atta.
And being allied with a country that dumps dead bodies of suspects in front of their home isn't very comforting either:
Qari Mohammad Noor, an Afghan, was arrested with three associates last week in the central city of Faisalabad, where he had been teaching at a madrassa (seminary) for the past three years. The arrest followed the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) specifically pointing him out to Pakistani authorities, although he was a well-known figure in the area. He was suspected of being in contact with top Taliban and al-Qaeda operatives and running one of their powerful rings in Faisalabad.
On Wednesday this week, while still in Pakistani custody, he died, and his body was dumped in front of his house. According to police officials, Noor died of cardiac failure, yet according to an unidentified police official, his body was full of torture marks.
Security sources who spoke to Asia Times Online point out that Noor had openly lived in Faisalabad for three years, yet no action had been taken against him over alleged al-Qaeda ties despite the fact that the city's madrassas are well known for their links to firebrand jihadi groups. Further, the sources questioned why he was not handed over to US authorities, raising the fact that "dead men tell no tales".
In the past, the FBI and Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) have collaborated, but in terms of a recent agreement any people taken into ISI custody at the behest of the ISI [sic: FBI?] must be handed over within a matter of days to what is called the Special Investigation Cell (SIC). The SIC includes representatives from Pakistani security forces and the FBI, who conduct joint interrogations, but most of the time the FBI on its own grills suspects.

Considering the FBI "sting" operation in Albany that created 2 "terrorist suspects" out of thin air recently, it's difficult to say that FBI activity in Pakistan can be trusted.
Would the two "suspects" in Albany have found themselves dead in front of their houses if they were in Pakistan?
Knowing the ignorant and fascist tendencies of shrub's administration, and the thug-like tendencies of many right wingnuts who worship shrub, it's not much of a stretch at all to see that it could happen here with another 4 years of shrub. We've already seen how torture just seemed to magically "migrate" from gitmo to Iraq. |
