Wikileaks' War Logs Highlight Global Intelligence Facade
Of 'War On Terror'
CIA funds ISI - ISI funds Taliban, Al Qaeda

 The
Wikileaks Afghanistan War Logs, publicly released today, highlight
and corroborate what we already know about the "war on
terror" - it is a vast and decompartmentalised intelligence
operation.
The London
Guardian reports:
"A stream of U.S. military intelligence reports accuse Pakistan's
Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) spy agency of arming, training
and financing the Taliban insurgency since 2004, the war logs
reveal, bringing fresh scrutiny on one of the war's most contentious
issues."
The reports are said to have been mostly collated by junior
officers relying on informants and Afghan officials, prompting
one senior U.S. intelligence officer to describe them as a mixture
of "rumours, bullshit and second-hand information".
However, it has been common knowledge for years that the ISI
created the Taliban and Al Qaeda as we now know them, acting
in its capacity as a direct front for U.S. intelligence.
Before 9/11, Pakistan worked
directly with the CIA to create the Taliban in
Afghanistan. Selig Harrison from the Woodrow Wilson International
Centre for Scholars stated:
"The CIA made a historic mistake in encouraging
Islamic groups from all over the world to come to Afghanistan.
The U.S. provided $3 billion for building up these Islamic groups,
and it accepted Pakistan's demand that they should decide
how this money should be spent.
The old associations between the intelligence agencies continue.
The CIA still has close links with the ISI (Pakistan's Inter-Services
Intelligence).
Today that money and those weapons have helped build up the
Taliban, Harrison said. The Taliban are not just recruits
from 'madrassas' (Muslim theological schools) but are on the
payroll of the ISI. The Taliban are now "making a living
out of terrorism."
Harrison confirmed that the creation of the Taliban
had been "actively encouraged by the ISI and the CIA and
that Pakistan had been building up Afghan collaborators who
would "sustain Pakistan".
Al Qaeda was a joint CIA/ISI intelligence
database
of mujahudeen fighters they had recruited in the
late 70s and eighties to fight the Soviet Union in Afghanistan.
It was later revealed via de-classified Defence
Intelligence Agency documents of 2001 that the DIA
was aware that the ISI was sponsoring the Taliban and Al Qaeda,
but the Bush Administration chose to ignore its findings.
B Raman, former additional secretary in the Cabinet Secretariat,
analysed three recently de-classified DIA documents of 2001
relating to the Taliban and Al Qaeda and said, "From these
documents, it is clear that the DIA knew of the ISI's role in
sponsoring not only the Taliban, but also the Al Qaeda."
No surprise then that in 2003 two senior members
of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Richard G. Lugar,
Republican of Indiana, and Joseph R. Biden Jr., Democrat of
Delaware (now vice president), went on record to state that
Pakistan's ISI was sheltering Taliban fighters along the border,
thus undermining the stability of Afghanistan.
The Senators told the New York Times that there
was evidence that ISI
might be helping the Taliban and Al Qaeda operatives
along the border infiltrate into Afghanistan.
Then in 2005 CIA officer Gary Schroen, who spearheaded
U.S.' search for Osama Bin Laden in Afghanistan, stated that ISI
officials are very well aware of the whereabouts
of the leadership of Al Qaeda, including Bin Laden himself.
The veteran CIA officer said that regardless of
how much reward money America offers, "Bin Laden would
not be captured and handed in" because the leadership of
Pakistan, including Musharraf, are afraid of the internal political
consequences.
Two days before 9/11, the leader of the Afghan Northern Alliance,
Commander Ahmad Shah Masood, was assassinated. The Northern
Alliance informed the Bush Administration that the ISI was allegedly
implicated in the assassination, stating:
"A `Pakistani ISI-Osama-Taliban axis' [was responsible]
of plotting the assassination by two Arab suicide bombers....
`We believe that this is a triangle between Osama bin Laden,
ISI, which is the intelligence section of the Pakistani army,
and the Taliban,"
Thus the Afghans that would be fighting on the side of the
U.S. in the upcoming war after 9/11 are on record with their
belief that the ISI and Al Qaeda are intimately connected. Yet
the Bush administration began operating with Pakistan and the
ISI as an ally.
Not even the corporate media could whitewash these facts and
so explained it away by alleging that U.S. officials had sought
cooperation from Pakistan because it was the original backer
of the Taliban, the hard-line Islamic leadership of Afghanistan
accused by Washington of harboring Bin Laden.
Then the so called "missing link" came when it was
revealed that the head of the ISI was the principal
financier of the 9/11 hijackers.
In various terror attacks, alerts and foiled plots since 9/11,
further
links between Al Qaeda, the ISI and U.S. and British
Intelligence have emerged.
As Professor Michel Chossudovsky has pointed out in his excellent
expose, all these links are even corroborated by
the House of Representatives International Relations Committee.
A Statement in 2000 by Rep. Dana Rohrbacher, Hearing of The
House International Relations Committee on "Global Terrorism
And South Asia" highlighted that U.S. support funneled
through the ISI to the Taliban and Osama bin Laden has been
a consistent policy of the U.S. Administration since the end of
the Cold War:
...[T]he United States has been part and parcel to supporting
the Taliban all along, and still is let me add... You have
a military government [of President Musharraf] in Pakistan
now that is arming the Taliban to the teeth....Let me note;
that [U.S.] aid has always gone to Taliban areas... We have
been supporting the Taliban, because all our aid goes to the
Taliban areas. And when people from the outside try to put
aid into areas not controlled by the Taliban, they are thwarted
by our own State Department... At that same moment, Pakistan
initiated a major resupply effort, which eventually saw the
defeat, and caused the defeat, of almost all of the anti-Taliban
forces in Afghanistan.
In July 2007, Tom Fingar of the office of the Director of National
Intelligence told
a Congressional hearing that he believed the Bush
administration was allowing the leadership of Al Qaeda to operate
freely in Pakistan and had chosen not to disrupt its activities.
“It’s not that we lack the ability to go into that
space, but we have chosen not to do so without the permission
of the Pakistani government." Fingar said.
Fingar's claims were supported by the revelation that a secret
military operation in early 2005 to capture senior members of
Al Qaeda in Pakistan's tribal areas was
aborted at the last minute after top Bush administration
officials decided it was too risky and could jeopardize relations
with Pakistan.
"The U.S. has provided $5.6 billion in coalition support
funds to Pakistan over the past five years, with zero accountability,"
said Congressman Patrick Murphy, D-Pa., at the hearing.
"Why is Pakistan still being paid these large sums of
money, even after publicly declaring that it is significantly
cutting back patrols in the most important border area?"
he asked.
Pakistan and the ISI is the go between of the global terror
explosion. Pakistan's military-intelligence apparatus, which
literally created and sponsored the Taliban and Al Qaeda, is
directly upheld and funded by the CIA. These facts are not even
in dispute, neither in the media nor in government.
These facts were also recently highlighted by Pakistan
President Asif Ali Zardari, who admitted that the
CIA and his country’s ISI together
created the Taliban and are still providing support.
The Taliban's spread
into Pakistan has also been connected to intelligence
driven plots to Balkanize the middle East.
When a whistleblower, Qari Zainuddin, a tribal leader of the
South Waziristan, who defected from the Pakistani Taliban claimed
that the group was working with U.S. intelligence to destabilize
the country, he
was assassinated just days later.
Last November, the LA Times, citing current and former U.S. officials,
reported that the CIA
has paid millions of dollars to the ISI since 9/11,
accounting for as much as one-third of the foreign spy agency's
annual budget, and that the funding, initiated covertly under
Bush, has continued under Obama.
A major London
School of Economics study, released last year,
also highlighted the ongoing relationship between the ISI and
the Taliban.
The Pakistani ISI is a CIA front and controls terror cells
at the discretion of the highest levels of the U.S. military-industrial
complex.
There is a great need to perpetuate the mythical war on terror
in order to maintain the pretext for the geopolitical genocide
currently being undertaken by globalist advances into the middle
east "rogue" (independent) nations.
As our governments assert that they are doing everything in
their power to dismantle the global terror network, the reality
is the exact opposite. The criminal intelligence networks assembled
it, they sponsored it and they continue to fund it using our
tax dollars. As any good criminal should, they have a middleman
to provide plausible deniability. That middleman is the ISI
and the military dictatorship of Pakistan.
