Data I found, years ago, backs up your focus on the ISI … however … I also learned that the organization was highly compartmentalized. The T Wing was generally very pro-West and worked easily with the US. The S Wing (aka the Special Service Directorate) was danged-near Islamist, and the fief of the likes of Hamid Gul. It was/is the controlling entity over the Jihadist consortium, including running the November ’08 Mumbai attack from a Karachi control center, communicating by cell phone.
Also, before I forget, Sept. 2008 saw the appointment of Lt. Gen. Ahmad Shuja Pasha as the Director of the ISI. He was appointed by COAS Ashfaq Parvez Kayani, with Washington’s approval, as a means of bringing the S Wing under control.
And it was a senior U.S. defense official of that day who described the ISI as “highly compartmentalized.” It was allegedly so compartmentalized that sections like the S Wing could operate without any sort of knowledge or oversight by superiors.
This in no way reduces the ISI’s guilt. It does, however, more-tightly focus it.
Reach into Hamid Gul’s grave and grasp his private parts. Get him to tell you what he knew.
