who are "we" here??
The doctor who ran fake vaccination campaign or the Pakistani security officials who put Dr Shakil Afridi behind the bars??
Last May Dr. Shakeel Afridi had been
convicted of treason and sentenced to
33 years. He was handed the sentence together with a $3,500 fine,
for spying for the United States.
Pakistan court reduces sentence of doctor who helped find bin Laden - CNN.com
But it definitely goes on to prove my point that Pakistani armed forces and intelligence had a soft corner for Osama bin Laden.
We as in the Inter Services Intelligence of Pakistan that gave the US the 'phone numbers' that led to the eventual identification of the courier that led to nabbing Osama (
Pakistan provided initial lead in hunt for Osama, say US officials - DAWN.COM ); now had we been hiding him we would not have given the evidence that would eventually led to pin-pointing the people who were in contact with OBL because that would defeat the very purpose of hiding him !
Yeah he was being protected.
Bin Laden was staying in a prominent million-dollar, high-security residence in an area full of soldiers and close to the country's premier military academy though
the villa was an isolated one.The property was so secure ...so large that American officials guessed it was
built to hide someone far more important than a mere courier.The villa had a
12-foot-high concrete walls topped with barbed wire.
Wow!!! And your security officials never took notice of it
???
Hmm high time they visited an opthamologist
If he was being protected by us then we wouldn't be hiding him next to our military academy would we so that if worst-comes-to-worst & hes ever pinpointed the blame would lie on us ? There are most probably a million places in Pakistan to hide a many & surely an Intelligence Agency of the caliber of the ISI aren't exactly lacking in the ability to know where to or where not to hide someone should they wish to !
Even hiding him within the Academy would've made sense but hiding him outside it without any guard & then providing the evidence that led to his capture - Only someone with a wild imagination would've thought that up !
No they did't take notice just as the CIA never took notice of a few dozen terrorists preparing for months on American Soil, learning how to fly planes, hijacking those planes, then flying them in restricted air-space for a long stretch of time before ramming them into the World Trade Center & the Pentagon of all places killing thousands of innocent civilians, never took notice of what was happening right under their noses !
Just as RAW is guilty of a dozen mess-ups !
These Intelligence Agencies are not some omnipotent or omniscient entities - They do mess up at times because they're only human !
But there is a difference between 'Intelligence Failure' & talking about harboring the World's Most Wanted Man who's Organization is responsible for the deaths of thousands of Pakistanis - Civilians & Soldiers alike - & in the absence of an iota of evidence only those with either the intellectual capacity of a gold-fish coupled with the imagination of a toddler or those with some vested agenda to sling mud at Pakistan through their torrid & rhetorical verbiage would further & believe such theories !
You gotta be kidding me.
Nobody is so dumb... or were they, when they decided to house him streets away from your military academy???
Cant decide which was more foolish letting him live so close to the academy or leaving him unguarded??
Exactly, what is more foolish indeed - Letting the World's Most Wanted man that you're hiding live right next door to your Academy or is it leaving him Unguarded ?
How do you discern that ?
Through a little known thing in media circles called 'Evidence' !
If you're hiding someone & you're so incompetent that you've hidden him right next door to your premier Military Academy & in fact you've gone a step further by providing evidence to the ones who are trying to nab the most wanted man on Earth who you are hiding right next to where you are then you sure as hell aren't suddenly going to become ever so competent that despite your glaring incompetency elsewhere you've so brilliantly managed to wash away every possible shred of evidence linking him to you that the world's premier Intelligence Organization supported by the world's premier Military Machine, belonging to a country & a regime, that hasn't once take exception to making irresponsible statements about you can't find anything......anything at all linking you to the man you were hiding !
Did you suddenly become so 'competent' that whereas you've managed to goof-up everything else from the placement of the man you're hiding to the lack of having the intellect of providing evidence to those who are hunting him but now suddenly you're so good at what you do that they can't find an atom's worth of evidence linking him to you !
Or maybe we should stop believing in Conspiracy Theories & realize that Intelligence Agencies are not in possession of the eyes & ears of the Almighty & they do mess up sometimes & that the terrorists too have more than a handful of neurons to realize that Abbotabad would be amongst the last places on Earth we'd be looking for them !
Either you're too smart or way too dumb.
Or you just see what you want to see !
