**JP** Fw: PakNationalists - A Chance For ISI To Retaliate


 

Leaks Destroy The American Case Against ISI

 

Ø US tries to hide American war crimes & shift focus to Pakistan

Ø 90,000 documents on US military & CIA failures, only 180 on ISI

Ø How safe are US nuclear, chemical and biological secrets

Ø Most of the American propaganda on Pakistan is "Rumors, bullshit and second-hand information"

 

 

By AHMED QURAISHI

Wednesday, 28 July 2010.

WWW.PAKNATIONALISTS.COM

 

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan—Since late 2006, United States government, military, intelligence and media have been orchestrating regular attacks against Pakistan, creating a false alarm about its nuclear capability and portraying its premier spy agency, the ISI, as a threat to world peace.

 

The weak and apologetic reactions by Pakistan's political and military officials encouraged this American double game.

 

But here comes the smoking gun, more than 90,000 leaked US intelligence documents, which prove how the Washington establishment has been running a vilification campaign against Pakistan both under Bush and Obama administrations, without any evidence except malicious intent.

 

Here is a chance for Pakistan to use these documents to argue its own case more confidently.

 

As soon as the classified documents were leaked over the weekend, US government sprung into action to minimize damage by shifting the focus toward Pakistan.

 

US government and military officials succeeded in making Pakistan and ISI the main story and hide the massive and spectacular US failures in Afghanistan, including evidence on war crimes and civilian carnage. It's an exercise that bears the hallmarks of a CIA-style public diplomacy [a la Iraq invasion].

 

Instead of brooding over the American failures and war crimes that have been neatly hidden from the world for eight years, the mainstream US media chose once again to indulge in anti-Pakistanism which is rampant and endemic within the US media and among think-tank types. A British journalist, Declan Walsh, couldn't help but notice this anti-Pakistan streak in how the Obama administration handled the leaks.  

 

"In issuing such a strongly worded statement with implicit criticism of the ISI," Mr. Walsh wrote in The Guardian, "the White House may be trying to keep ahead of a tide of US opinion that is hostile towards Pakistan."

 

 

A TASTE OF AMERICAN DECEIT

 

Here's a quick look at how ISI and Pakistan are a small part of the story blown out of proportion:

 

-         Out of more than 90,000 classified US documents, only about 180 mention ISI, and only about 30 or so charge the legendary Pakistani spy service of wrongdoing in Afghanistan

-         The whole case built by US against Pakistan and ISI is based not on evidence but on information sourced to 'informants', 'sources', initials [like A.E.], and sources linked to either the new US-created Afghan intelligence or the Indians. Both Karzai's spies and the Indians have been telling anyone who'd listen that they are the preeminent source for any credible information on Pakistan

-         Many of these classified US documents carry a disclaimer added by the authors or their handlers in the US military and intelligence. The disclaimer emphasizes that information in these reports can't be trusted, is unverified, is sourced to people working for monetary gain or are linked to biased parties such as the Indians and Karzai's intelligence

-         Most importantly, many of these documents carry a warning that US policymakers should not rely on information in the reports to formulate policy

-         According to the Guardian, most of the American propaganda on Pakistan is "Rumours, bullshit and second-hand information"

 

 

THE REAL STORY

 

The real story, the one hidden in the bulk of the 90,000 leaked documents, is this:

 

-         How the US government, military and CIA have hidden a US military disaster in Afghanistan from the American public and the world

-         How the mainstream US media is complicit in misleading the American public and the world

-         How the United States is involved in war crimes in Afghanistan, especially in mass murder of innocent Afghan civilians

-         How the US and its allies within the Pakistani government and military are most probably hiding similar tales of mass murder of Pakistani citizens in Pakistan's tribal belt who fell victim to CIA-run drones

 

PAKISTANI OFFICIAL COMPLICITY

 

An important question that arises out of these documents is this:

 

1.       If this is the level of US propaganda against Pakistan over the past five years, why have Pakistan's political and military leaders acquiesced in US's anti-Pakistan pressure tactics and failed to appropriately respond to American disinformation?

2.      If this is the quality of US intelligence in Afghanistan, why has Pakistan's government and military accept faulty US intelligence to allow US covert military operations inside Pakistan that have almost pushed the nation to civil war?

 

 

Pakistan's leaders have almost wasted one opportunity – the Pakistan-US strategic dialogue in March 2010 – to redefine the terms of cooperation between Islamabad and Washington in Afghanistan. The storm over the leaked secrets provides a second opportunity to Pakistani officials to review their generally weak and apologetic policy that has messed up Pakistan in little less than eight years.

Judge Rules Air Guitar "Not Real Music"









CAP News
The general populace agrees that if more air guitarists looked like this rather than (see below), the activity might be more enticing.
Judge Rules Air Guitar "Not Real Music"

NEW YORK CITY (CAP) - A judge in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York has ruled that despite visual appearances to the contrary, air guitar cannot be considered real music and those who play it should not be given the fame and attention afforded real musicians who have spent years actually learning how to play the instruments.

"Oh, and groupies. I forgot to mention groupies," U.S. District Judge Kevin Castel said as he handed down his ruling. "In fact, I have half a mind to prosecute all those people who actually spent four hours of their lives watching the National Air Guitar Championships.

"Shouldn't you all be home playing Rock Band or something?" Castel asked.

The District Court's ruling comes at a time when air guitar enthusiasts are seeking recognition as a legitimate activity alongside the likes of running on a treadmill, live action role playing and judging one's actual popularity and self-worth by the number of accumulated online friends on social networking sites.

"Dude, these callouses on my fingers didn't just appear by themselves," said National Air Guitar contestant Derek Schmidt, a roofer from Ridgewood, NJ. "And when I fell to the stage during my classic rendition of Eddie Van Halen's Eruption, I hurt my knee. I think that makes it pretty real."

Members of the air guitar community say they plan to appeal the ruling and say they have the support of their colleagues in the desk drummers and dashboard keyboardists associations. However, law pundits believe they have an uphill battle ahead of them after VH1 recently opted not to add a mime show to its programming lineup.

"I mean, air guitar is pretty much just miming with background music," said CAP News law consultant Joey Gouger. "Reminds me of one of my old cases, City Of Pittsburgh v Skin Flute Society - although, actually, I think that was something totally different. Nevermind."

Gouger said he thinks the air guitarists could make a pretty good case for themselves if they draw on the likes of Ashlee Simpson, Britney Spears and Janet Jackson - none of whom have ever sung an actual word during a live show yet "rake in the dough" while on tour. He also points to the Rolling Stones' use of animatronics for member Ron Wood, who's actually been dead for 17 years.

"I don't want to denigrate the art of the air guitar," Castel said in his ruling. "But air guitar is to music what auto racing is to sports: you gotta be pretty damn drunk to see how one is even remotely related to the other."

The National Air Guitar Championships represent another in a fine line of quality ideas to make its way to America from Europe over the past decade, including the likes of the Big Brother TV show, men in tiny Speedo swimsuits, and BP.

"Hell, we defeated the metric system, you'd think we could knock off this other junk as well," said CAP News intern Ryan, who promised to get coffee for the entire office for a week if we quoted him in a story. "Although Ariadne Artiles is welcome to stay. At my place, even."

We then reminded Ryan that he still lives with his mother and she likely wouldn't want the 28-year-old Spanish model sitting across the dinner table from either her son or her husband and distracting them from the succulent meal of broiled chicken, instant rice and broccoli spears. He agreed and went to fetch us half-n-half.
