Re: Why does Pakistan still support Taliban?
Suddenly from last week this has been all over the news, not just in US but in international media. Just in th elast 48 hours I saw something in 2 US news papaers + something on TV + plus a BBC interview this morning with an ex-ISI official codenamed "Capt.Imam" who supposedly was a "teacher" of Mullah Omar back in the days of ISI developing the Taleban. He openly said following:
People ask me about Taleban and how I know them. I tell them "I know them as the young kids that used to come sit in my lap when I went visiting their parents to discuss" (he was ISI stationed in Afganistan for over a decade. He said Taleban are very good honest focused people that did commit mistakes but ins pite of those mistakes they were a better govt than that of Pakistan! (I donlt know if he meant current or past).
When asked he said "Mullah Omar is a sincere man, a great student that is still full of respect...even now when I want tosee him, he drops whatever he is doing and comes to me"!
Why all this sudden publicity about Pakistan I wonder
