Tough talk to Pakistan of little use
2008-08-01
By Paul McGeough

THERE was a naivety about it, but the brutal honesty in George Bush's cross-examination of the Pakistani Prime Minister, Yousuf Raza Gilani, this week was a revealing moment in the post-September 11 world.

"Who is in control of the ISI?" the US President demanded, referring to Pakistan's all-powerful Directorate of Inter-Service Intelligence by its acronym ISI.

#1  Naivete, hell! "Who is in control of the ISI?" is an important and fundamental question. It *will* need to be answered. But there is talking and there is doing. I expect there is going to be a lot of doing that no one wants to talk about. For the sake of appearances, of course.
