The Indian government has the names of trainers and the places where training for the Mumbai attack took place, sources said.

This article brings up more questions for me than it answers. I find it hard to accept the Pakistani government would have approved this operation! The reason I don't think this is the whole story is the predictable response from India. It just seems self destructive at best for Pakistan.

This leads me to believe it would have been some type of rogue element within the ISI.

It is well known that Obama plans to escalate the war in Afghanistan so it is not difficult to imagine the US benefitting from a distracted and more compliant Pakistan. However I am still puzzeled by Pakistan's complicity...makes no sense???

Not sure they really have hard proof just yet.

However, if you don't mind, the below article seems related to this thread, so I'll throw it in too.

US wants four ex-ISI officials declared terrorists

The US has given four names of former ISI officials, including Lt-Gen (retd) Hameed Gul, to the UN Security Council to put them on the list of international terrorists.
[...]
Lt-Gen (retd) Hameed Gul confirmed to this correspondent that he was included in the list of those four or five former ISI officials whose names had been provided to the UN secretary-general by the US government to be included in the list of international terrorists.

[...]
In such a situation, those enlisted in this list of bad guys will be prevented from travelling outside the country of their residence while their assets would also be monitored and even frozen at times.

Included on the list of former Pakistani intelligence officers being submitted to the UNSC are Hamid Gul, Javid Nasir, and Zahirul Islam Abbasi, as well as Aslam Beg, a senior Army officer, the intelligence official said.

Almost. The FACT is, NO country deserves this. The FACT is, this is the world we live in.

Well the ISI has always been like this. I am pretty sure this is no different then their past actions. On the investigation level it's not like Pakistan has a choice, there is evidence linking them to the Mumbai attacks, so refusal of investigation would produce even more tension in the area.

The Indian government has the names of trainers and the places where training for the Mumbai attack took place, sources said. The United States is believed to have even more evidence of the training and some of this has been shared with India, they said.

Nope don't live in India.

Yet I was born and raised there. I came to America when I was 10, and still to this day visit my home country for vacations.

So yeah, destruction of the ISI would be my revenge.

Fair enough.

Do you think more war for revenge will work? Can you honestly say that aggression is the way to solve problems? Malcolm-X was always eye for an eye, is that how you feel as well?

Well no aggression is never really the way to go. But I think enough is enough, this should have been settled after the 2001 bombings. Events and tensions like this are shoved under to the carpet to eventually turn into a crucible to hot to handle.

What I meant by 'revenge' would be the destruction of the ISI. Breakdown of the corrupt establishment is all I am calling for. I am not callous enough to wish for the nuclear annihilation of Pakistan. No one needs to die, just some jobs need to be lost.

Of course no country would just stand by to have another destroy their governmental facility, even if it was corrupt. So if it calls for aggression to put an end to this madness, I guess so be it.

Nice find, I just find it a bit odd that United States has been putting so much interest in that area as of late.
