India connecting Pakistani dots on Mumbai attack

Indian officials say names of five members of Lashkar-e-Taiba, including Yusuf Muzammil, head of its operations against India were in a satellite phone’s index found on a fishing vessel the Mumbai terrorists hijacked and used for part of their journey.

I’m sure Indian security officials will have more secrets to discover in this phone.

And, the terrorists’ original boat originated from Pakistan.

Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari claims if India shares its intelligence information, his country would:

“do everything in our power to go after these militants.”

Sure. Instead, Inter-Services Intelligence is likely to use that info to tighten up chain of command on any terrorist training it does.

Remember how Pakistan originally offered to send the head of ISI to India? And then downgraded that to “a representative of” ISI?

Now, the head of ISI, Lt. Gen. Ahmed Shuja Pasha, is will brief Pakistan’s parliament on how to “dampen down the discourse of conflict and work for peace in the region,” according to Sherry Rehman, Pakistan’s minister of information.

Sure again. Pasha is probably trying to wipe metaphorical fingerprints off metaphorical gun barrels with this speech.

That's even as Pakistani intelligence agents looking for the roots of the one surviving terrorist, named as either Ajmal Amir Kamal, Azam Amir Kasav, or Azam Ameer Qasab, claim nobody by that name ever came from his reported home village of Faridkot, according to its residents.

Something tells me I’ll soon hear the sound of ISI canceling any flight to India.
