Re: Intelligence Failures
This is sad, specially by your standards!
Who by the way, is chanting for a military takeover? And through all your criticism on the armed forces and ISI, has it ever occurred to you that we have civilian bodies as well, who need to play their part too? Just because our police departments are politically appointed, and dont get time off from securing the properties and lives of our dear leaders, does that mean that the army has to play the role of the police as well?
All through the PPP rule, and now during the 1 year of PMLN rule, almost every major attack has been followed by a revelation by the interior ministry that intelligence agencies had forewarned the local authorities about the attack…yet no preparation was made to prevent it by the local authorities.
Just because our civil institutions are failures doesnt mean we can pin the blame on ISI. We can blame ISI for many things, and discuss them on a variety of parameters, but there is no need to divert attention from the true culprits.
