Bumping up against the ISI is a way of life for the CIA in Pakistan, the agency’s command center for recruiting spies in the country’s lawless tribal regions. Officers there also coordinate Predator drone airstrikes, the CIA’s most successful and lethal counterterrorism program. The armed, unmanned planes take off from a base inside Pakistani Baluchistan known as “Rhine.” ----- Why Baluchistan?.
Publicly, the U.S. credits Pakistan with helping kill and capture many al-Qaida and Taliban leaders. Privately, the relationship is often marked by mistrust and double-dealing as Pakistan runs double agents against the CIA and the agency tries to penetrate Pakistan’s closely guarded nuclear program. ----- Why this game of diceit and lies?.
Pakistan’s willingness to run double agents against the U.S. is particularly troubling to some in the CIA. ----- Well you asked for it didn’t you?.
The drones can’t hit their targets without help finding them. Such efforts would be impossible without Pakistan’s blessing, and the U.S. pays about $3 billion a year in military and economic aid.
“We need the ISI and they definitely know it,” said C. Christine Fair, an assistant professor at Georgetown University’s Center for Peace and Security Studies. “They are really helping us in several critical areas and directly undermining us in others.” ----- Hope that Pakistani government realizes it soon and ask for MO MONEY!.
