'Pakistan ISI - The Secret Government
Broadcast: 07/11/2001

Transcript
Mark Corcoran investigates Pakistan's feared Inter Services Intelligence Agency (ISI), a maker and breaker of governments. As the Americans and their allies venture further into the quagmire of Afghanistan, they are dependant on the ISI to be their "eyes and ears" on the ground. The only problem is the ISI was until September 11, the Taliban's closest ally - in fact the agency was instrumental in bringing the Talib's to power. While General Musharraf has signed up on the side of the US, the ISI has other ideas. Already Musharraf has sacked his ISI boss for encouraging the Taliban to resist the U.S. Former PM Benazir Bhutto tells Mark the ISI is "a state within a state", and blames it for her own political demise. According to experts, the ISI has a track record of political assassination, state-sponsored terrorism, and drug running. It is an all-powerful agency that won't yield power without a fight. '
Thanks to Kitman TV for the video.

Another video on the Kitman TV site analyses what happened in Mumbai when Pakistani terrorists killed and wounded hundreds of innocents.

K. Pillai, Indian Express reported July 14. Pillai said information gathered from interrogations of David Headley, a U.S. citizen accused of helping plan the attack, indicated the ISI had planned the attack with Lashkar-e-Taiba militant Hafiz Saeed “from beginning to end.” He added that the ISI was not a peripheral player, but was controlling and coordinating the attack, and that Saeed also knew everything about the attack.

Again, I wonder if the BBC are even interested in such information or does it go against their world view?
