[Peace-discuss] America's real war is against Pakistan

[C. G. Estabrook]

[The paramount concern of US policy-makers in the ME is to prevent populous & 
well-armed Pakistan from becoming an effective source of opposition to US 
control of the region.  And apparently the Obama administration will stop at 
nothing to accomplish that. --CGE]

	Blackwater behind Pakistan bombings: Ex-intel chief

The former head of Pakistan's intelligence agency, ISI, Asad Durrani said in an 
interview with Press TV that Blackwater, a notorious US security firm, is 
carrying out operations in the country.

His comments came after the US Central intelligence Agency (CIA) revealed that 
Blackwater, which currently works under the name Xe Services, has been involved 
in drone attacks in Pakistan.

The CIA said the private security company has been loading bombs on US drones 
that target suspected militants in Pakistan. The attacks, according to Pakistani 
media, kill civilians as well.

General Durrani, however, said the group may be involved in actions that 
destabilize the country.

"My assessment is that they [Blackwater agents] — either themselves or most 
probably through others, through the locals — do carry out some of the 
explosions," he said.

"The idea is to carry out such actions, like carrying attacks in the civilian 
areas to make the others look bad in the eyes of the public."

Pakistan, suffering from a wave of violence, has witnessed the loss of lives of 
more than two thousands civilians in the past two years because of bomb attacks 
across the country.
