ISI man who 'sold' Osama a Kashmir hardliner

[Gollum]

WASHINGTON: The military general who sold Osama bin Laden's location for part of the $25 million bounty has been identified in the Pakistani media as former brigadier Usman Khalid, a hardline Islamist fantasist whose television appearances invoke the glory days of Muslim domination from Istanbul to New Delhi. According to the bombshell story by Seymour Hersh that has caused ripples in the US, a former midlevel ISI officer walked into the US embassy in Islamabad to rat on Pakistan's secret custody of bin Laden. He and his family have since been relocated to Pakistan, where he is said to be a consultant for the CIA. A scrutiny of his publicly available speeches, writings, and records show Brig Khalid to be a grandfatherly post-retirement think-tanker who peddles hopeful theories about the imminent break-up of India due to sundry insurrections against the Brahminical class that allegedly rules India. As director of the 'London Institute of South Asia' he has also edited a book titled 'Authentic Voices of South Asia' with chapters by separatist malingerers such as Gurmukh Singh Aulakh and Syed Geelani. Why and how a retired former general in the army would know of bin Laden's location is hard to fathom, although Pakistani military strongmen are known to frequently use retired confidants for sensitive jobs. The prevailing theory a decade ago was that General Musharraf had entrusted bin Laden's safety to his go-to man Brig Ejaz Shah. Musharraf 's successor Kayani could have similarly entrusted the task to Brig Usman Khalid, according to the intelligence grapevine. If indeed the ISI walk-in in the same Brig Usman Khalid, New Delhi will have much to be concerned about his new status as CIA consultant since he is full of toxic and dangerous theories, including the need for Pakistan and Afghanistan to join forces to liberate Kashmir. Khalid is unapologetic about the Pakistan-inspired insurrection in Kashmir and is an Islamist fantasist who believes Partition is an unfinished business and India will break-up further. "The Muslims were the only people who had developed a 'national personality' by 1947 but they were not the only nation. Every nation in India is bound to seek sovereignty as it crystallises its national personality and has a birthright to do so," Khalid writes in one tract. Meanwhile, the US media has gradually reeled back on criticism of Hersh's story about the bin Laden raid. In a story headlined, 'The detail in Seymour Hersh's story that rings true,' Carlotta Gall, the New York Times' correspondent in Pakistan for many years, said she too had heard about the ISI walk-in from a source but she had held back from publishing it because it was difficult to corroborate it although she did not doubt her source.

Pakistan's lies about OBL and his safe sanctuary within that country keep coming out in the open. Hope USA understands how dangerous ISI, Pak Army is at least now after backing them for so many decades. No country in history has used terrorists as liberally as Pakistan to safeguard it's interests and cause trouble in neighboring countries. Hats off to our security apparatus who are at war with such deceitful, manipulative liars and an ungrateful public(people of Kashmir). Hope all Indians can see the propaganda against our Army by certain sections. Always back the Army, stop respecting Hurriyat, hardliners, separatists, terrorists, communists, Adlibs. in light of such revelations how can anyone have sympathy for the Kashmiris who are in bed with ISI and Pak Army, how can a movie like Haider that shows our dear Army in bad light be allowed to run? http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/pakistan/ISI-man-who-sold-Osama-a-Kashmir-hardliner/articleshow/47277000.cms

Below are some of the Pakistani concepts: * Everyone does wrong, but only those who are caught are considered guilty (Pak is caught, Ind is not - created Muktibani, RAW activities which even RAW may not know about, etc.) * Ind did propaganda against Pak to malign its reputation (not Pak's own actions). Pak has to do the same against Ind * For propaganda, facts are not needed. You just have to repeat the same things with conviction (which actually dents Pak's creditability further globally) * Having dirty bomb = Ind cannot attack Pak in a conventional war .... Now which rational / selfish / corrupt leader in Pak would risk eliminating Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Karachi, etc. by sending a nuke to Ind? Pak uses Kashmir to achieve your own goals, and then it would risk the entire population of Pakistan for Kashmir if Ind carries out military operations? :haha: So what can you say to Pak except "keeping digging your own grave"
