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

Any links?
