#9  The infighting would be insane if there were any question as to who owned UBL. It was the ISI. Period.

#8  A more accurate analogy would be:

"Former Pakistan Army Chief also reveals water is like Kool-Aid".

#6  I think John Frum is right. Abbottabad is an Army garrison town, and I can't imagine the IB having a "Safehouse" or anything else.

Other statements I have read indicate the US considers the IB less dishonest than the ISI. There were also reports that the IB helped find Bin Laden and even took part in the raid.

In addition the army concluded in 2003 that the US is the enemy and has behaved that way ever since.

#5  This guy seems to have a thing for Musharraf and probably was not in position to know anything important about anything.

Here is some background.

Take with a grain of salt, like anything else you read from the Pakistani press.

But unless this dude turns up with some evidence other than his lying self, then I call bullshit.

#4  That's odd. The IB is domestic intelligence and is more linked to the civilian leadership than the ISI.

Then again, if one wanted to hide an ISI-sponsored fugitive, a good way to do it would be to let a supposedly unrelated but sympathetic agency do it.

Then there's the claim that Perv was involved when he was in charge...
