CIA in Pakistan

[ghanz]

As i am sure most people read the news about american citizen who got arrested in Pakistan. He is being charged with double murder. As the story continues to unfold, he is a CIA agent and the 2 men that were shot were ISI agents, who were tailing him.
What will this do to relationship between Pakistan army and American agencies? Giving him back to Americans will create a lot of tension in Pakistan and already Americans are changing there attitude towards Pakistan.. Whats next??
BBC News - Lahore shooting suspect Raymond Davis 'was CIA'

The BBC article says nothing about the two men being ISI. Where'd you pull that from? Also, I don't think being a CIA contractor makes a person an "Agent." What American attitudes are changing? Are they able to find it on the world map now?

From what I see in the short BBC article, the Pakistanis have every right to stick up to the US on this issue of sovereignty. UAV missile drones frequently attack Pakistani locations, in direct violation of Pakistani sovereignty. Respect other countries' sovereignty if you want the same for yours.

Read the link to the "Guardian Article" within the BBC article cited.

"Some reports, quoting Pakistani intelligence officials, have suggested that the men Davis killed, Faizan Haider, 21, and Muhammad Faheem, 19, were agents of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence spy agency (ISI) and had orders to shadow Davis because he crossed a "red line"."

Ah. Thanks. Didn't read the Guardian bit. Still, it's a question of they may have been or may not have been. Kinda hard for us to tell considering the whole nature of this political crapstorm. It'd be presumptious of us to jump to the conclusion that because they may be ISI means they were ISI. In a nutshell, hard to say so wait and see.

You couldn't said it better THANK YOU When dealin with the CIA and the ISI it hard to tell what going on. There mission is deception and gather information don't forget that. Unless you are a member of the CIA you don't know nothing about what going on or what happen on this case. PEACE

Guys this is a forum for military and defence related issues. If you really need to talk about geo-politics, CIA actions, etc. use the Intro's and Off-Topic.

Either bring this discussion to something of military/defence relevance, or this is getting shut down.
