From Pakistan With Love

     In mid-December, the identity of a top CIA spy in Pakistan was revealed after the American spy was publicly identified in a complaint sent to Pakistani police over US drone strikes. The spy was quickly ushered out of the country and fingers are now being pointed at the ISI for revealing the spy's identity. This just goes to show the dangerous game the ISI and CIA are playing; they both rely on each other to get the job done, but the relationship between the two is testy to say the least.
     Many believe that the revelation of the spy's identity was the ISI response for the lawsuit filed against the Lt. General Ahmed Shuja Pasha, the director of the ISI, by the families of the American victims in the Mumbai hotel bombings. The spy's identity was released to aid in the lawsuit of the Kareem Khan, a man who brought the case against the CIA for the death of his son and brother in a drone strike. He is just one of the many casualties of the drone offensive.
     Of course, the ISI has come out and denied the accusation. That's standard procedure. The point is that if the ISI and CIA cannot work together then America cannot expect for their drone strikes to be as accurate as they'd like. Furthermore, this goes to show the amount of power the ISI wield, not only over Pakistan, but over America as well. These backstabbing actions are not out of the ordinary for the ISI, for they only watch out for their own interests and America should be wary of their dealings with the ISI. As they say, keep your enemies close and your friends closer.
