Update on Our 'Diplomat' in Pakistan

Raymond Davis’ close ties with the TTP (the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan) has also been established.

“Davis was instrumental in recruiting young people from Punjab for the Taliban to fuel the bloody insurgency.” the official told the Express Tribune.

According to the police the man was exchanging phone calls with nearly 30 militants belonging to the banned Pakistani Taliban and Lashkar-e-Jhangvi groups.

[...]

The news that the CIA contractor recruited for the Taliban came when the US was encouraging Pakistan to send military against Taliban forces near the Afghanistan border.

Oooh. No wonder Hillary and Barack were so keen on getting him out of Pakistan when he was arrested. Oops. Too bad they didn’t.

[W] hen arrested Raymond Davis displayed a Department of Defense contractor ID [but] his name was missing in the list of Embassy workers submitted a week prior.

[...]

According to sources in the Pakistani Foreign Office the US has been pressing them to forge the backdated list of the Embassy staff and include the Raymond Davis name into it. If his name appears on the list he would qualify for immunity for all of his activities while in Pakistan.

Man, when the boat started leaking, it didn’t go slowly, did it? The best possible outcome of all this would be the destruction of the CIA. I don’t see that happening, but at least the cards are on the table where everyone can see them.

Now a senior Pakistani intelligence official has been quoted in the local media saying he fears there are possibly hundreds of CIA contractors operating in the country.

Yeah, I think that would be a safe bet.
