ISI chief makes it to 2011 Time 100 list

ISI Chief Ahmed Shuja Pasha has made it on the ’2011 Time 100 list’. The list includes the names of 100 most influential people of 2011.

The list was released Thursday on the magazine’s website.

Former CIA director Michael Hayden in the list has written about Pasha and said that the Lt General is a “Pakistani Patriot” and an American partner.

Within weeks of Lieut. General Ahmed Shuja Pasha’s becoming head of Pakistan’s top intelligence agency, ISI, in 2008, terrorist attacks in Mumbai seriously roiled already stressed U.S.-Pakistani relations. Pasha, 59, has grown progressively more suspicious of U.S. motives and staying power. The arrest of a U.S. government contractor in Lahore has led to acrimony. And larger changes in Pakistan — the growth of fundamentalism, nationalism and anti-Americanism — have squeezed the space in which any ISI chief can cooperate with the U.S.

They probably put him in as a token gesture as they needed a brown guy for equality purposes.

In reality he has no influence as he is controlled by a string from Washington.

If you see an intelligence agent's influence, it means he isn't doing his job properly.

Hmm.....I think something is fishy. With US-Pak ties on the brink, maybe its a step forth ??
