We knew the ISI was in on world terrorism long ago, their chief Ahmed sent Mohammed Atta $100,000 towards the 9/11 plot as is record, and at the same time was meeting with our former administration..!

Pakistan aids the Taliban, i.e. terrorists according to the US, so Pakistan is a Terrorist sponsoring state. The US gives Pakistan billions in military aid; hence the US is supporting terrorism too. We, the US, have laws against supporting terrorist organizations; people have been locked up in the US for giving financial support to Muslim charities that the US government claims support terrorism. So all good law-abiding Americans should stop paying their taxes because doing so supports terrorism, which is illegal by US law. And there is the fact that paying US taxes also supports torture, kidnapping, murder, mayhem, illegal wiretapping and various and sundry other war crimes committed by the US government, so stop being accessories to many major crimes, my fellow Americans.

It's that simple. If millions of Americans stopped paying their taxes to the criminal US government, the criminal US government would have to change its ways.

Tinfoil hat too tight, Junior?

when will people open their eyes and see pakistan for what it really is. that country was more guilty of creating terrorism against the US than any other middle east state. The ISI has been corrupt for ages and the fact that they get SO MUCH DOSH from the US is obscene. it's like paying someone to kill you.

Hamad Gul, former head of the ISI has for years engaged in cheer leading for the Taliban and has been an apologist for Bin Laden . He makes no secret of his admiration for the Taliban and yet he's free as a bird in Pakistan . We need to be very wary of every move Pakistan makes. Now that we've decided to provide them with advanced military training we could very well discover that that training will be turned on us as well as on India. and Afghanistan. Pakistan has a rogue element that is completely unchecked.

Hameed Gul worked with American in 80s and early 90s in Afghan Jihad. Get a history class..Genius!

[KCFreedom]

Is Hamad Gul the guy that happened to be in the U.S. on or just before 9-11?

[gjohntheterrible]

Nice to know that Bush paid these guys to do this.

Well, NYT, a little late to the party? No big surprise. Perhaps that's one reason why your circulation is down.

This information was widely circulated by alternative and web-based news sources as early as 2001. The MSM decided to bury it or not cover it. The entire time before and since the U.S. was providing Pakistan billions of dollars in aid that was siphoned off in corruption, to purchase arms, and probably, arming the Taliban. The U.S. looked the other way because "our" dictator was in charge.

Our foreign policy is a disaster.

Good one. And true to boot! Gad, how can ANYONE who ever heard Sarah Chayes' warnings on NPR, Bill Moyers, and everywhere she had a chance to talk, have not "known" this fact???????

[Joethepauper]

Duh! Where has this writer been since the 80's?

Half the members of their military command support the Taliban. I think we can file this story under "N" for No Sh*t, Sherlock.
