CIA Agent Caught Red-Handed Aiding Pakistani Terrorism?
CNN notes:
News
that the American accused of killing two Pakistani men is a CIA
contractor has intensified an already highly charged situation in
Pakistan.
"Raymond Davis is a CIA Guy," read the headline in the Daily Times newspaper Tuesday.
***
Davis
was jailed January 27 after fatally shooting two men who pulled up to
him on a motorcycle in a bustling Lahore neighborhood.
***
The
36-year-old Davis is a former member of the U.S. Army special forces
and had been employed by security firm XE Services, previously known as
Blackwater.
Davis began working for the CIA nearly four years
ago. He was assigned to Pakistan in late 2009. He was living with other
security personnel at a safehouse in Lahore before the shooting
incident.
On Monday, a U.S. government official also said that Davis was a CIA contractor providing security for CIA officers.
The
U.S. at first falsely claimed that Davis was a diplomat with the State
Department and should therefore be granted diplomatic immunity:
Despite
the revelation of Davis' true line of work, U.S. officials on Monday
renewed their argument that he has diplomatic immunity and must be
released.
***
Before Monday, U.S. officials
had described Davis only as an employee who was attached to the U.S.
Embassy in Islamabad and who was working at the U.S. Consulate in
Lahore at the time of the shootings.
But the deeper story is that Davis allegedly actively aided and abetted terrorism. As CNN notes:
Some newspapers cited unnamed sources to link Davis with "terrorist activity" and the Pakistani Taliban.
"CIA agent Davis had ties with local militants," read the headline in The Express Tribune.
The Tribune quoted an unnamed "senior police official" as saying Davis was suspected in masterminding terrorist activity.
"His
close ties with the TTP (The Pakistani Taliban) were revealed during
the investigations," the paper quoted the police official as saying.
"Davis was instrumental in recruiting young people from Punjab for the
Taliban to fuel the insurgency."
The Star explains:
In
a story published Tuesday, the English-language Express Tribune quoted
a Punjabi police official who said Davis was actually working with the
Pakistani Taliban in a bid to stoke insecurity in Pakistan and support
the argument that its cache of nuclear weapons isn’t safe.Call
records of Davis’s cellphone allegedly establish his link to 27
Taliban militants and a sectarian group known as Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, the
police source said.
Reuters points out
that two other CIA contractors were involved in a fatal car accident
last month while trying to help Davis. Reuters notes, and have now quickly departed
from Pakistan, and notes:
Two U.S. officials confirmed media reports the
two men involved in the fatal accident were working and living in the
same building in Lahore as Davis. They said all three men were working
on similar security assignments for the CIA.
Most dramatically, South Asian news agency ANI reports that - according to Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service - Davis was giving nuclear and biowarfare materials to Al-Qaeda:
Double
murder-accused US official Raymond Davis has been found in possession
of top-secret CIA documents, which point to him or the feared American
Task Force 373 (TF373) operating in the region, providing Al-Qaeda
terrorists with "nuclear fissile material" and "biological agents,"
according to a report.
Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) is
warning that the situation on the sub-continent has turned "grave" as
it appears that open warfare is about to break out between Pakistan and the United States, The European Union Times reports.
The SVR warned in its report that the apprehension of 36-year-old Davis, who shot dead two Pakistani men in Lahore last month, had fuelled this crisis.
According
to the report, the combat skills exhibited by Davis, along with
documentation taken from him after his arrest, prove that he is a
member of US' TF373 black operations unit currently operating in the
Afghan War Theatre and Pakistan's tribal areas, the paper said.
While
the US insists that Davis is one of their diplomats, and the two men
he killed were robbers, Pakistan says that the duo were ISI agents sent
to follow him after it was discovered that he had been making contact
with al Qaeda, after his cell phone was tracked to the Waziristan
tribal area bordering Afghanistan, the paper said.
The most ominous point in this SVR report is "Pakistan's ISI stating
that top-secret CIA documents found in Davis's possession point to his,
and/or TF373, providing to al Qaeda terrorists "nuclear fissile
material" and "biological agents", which they claim are to be used
against the United States itself in order to ignite an all-out war in
order to re-establish the West's hegemony over a Global economy that is
warned is just months away from collapse," the paper added.
However, ANI's allegations are uncorroborated at this time, and it is unknown whether Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service said anything of the sort.
See this, this, this, this and this for background.

Interesting the allegation about Davis supporting the Pakistani Taliban. On the surface this makes no sense (the US government is supposedly fighting the Taliban, right?). This is because Americans aren't being told the truth about the real (strategic) reasons for the US war in Afghanistan and Pakistan. They are told nothing about Pentagon and CIA support for the Baloch separatist movement - nor the longstanding Pentagon/CIA desire to see energy and mineral rich Balochistan secede from Pakistan to become a US client state - just like energy and mineral rich Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan and the other former Soviet republics. They are also totally unaware (unlike Pakistani locals) that the CIA is training young Baloch separatists in bomb making and other terrorist activities - with the goal of disrupting operations at the Chinese-built Gwadar Port (and the energy transit route for Iranian oil and natural gas destined for China).
I blog about this at http://stuartbramhall.aegauthorblogs.com/2010/12/30/the-us-as-a-semi-fai...
With a recent map of Free Balochistan (from their website).
Tylers...truly, why do you allow this GW "stuff" on your site.
Because a reasonable section of readers lap this sort of stuff up unfortunately. You know... the whole red pill, blue pill, how deep does the rabbit hole go, what a tangled web, etc., etc. crowd.
What type of a crowd do you belong to? Hear nothing, see nothing, speak nothing...?
The too busy eye-rolling crowd maybe.
Theory and fact. Its been haunting the world since Thucydides wrote the Peleponnesian War.
This expensive mercenary was stupid enough that they could track his cellphone.
Let that be a lesson to all of us with cellphones.
CIA agents have no means or facility to provide nuclear materials to anyone. They have no access to US materials.
In case you do not know by now, insinuation is the purest form of truth, and the lie told often enough becomes a footnote in a future man's proof. Besides, if you do not believe an obscure news service quoting an unnamed Russian intelligence source, well, there is simply no hope for you. Go back to the real world and leave fantasy to those best able to appreciate it.
Oh, right. And you know all about what CIA agents can and cannot get. Give us a break, please.
The only question is whether he entered the country on a diplomatic passport or not. If did , than he is considered a diplomat regardless of what he is really doing, end of story. Periodically a diplomat stationed in the USA manages to kill some one, usually in an auto accident. The result normally is that insurance pays and the diplomat leaves the country. The USA requires all vehicles with diplomatic plates to carry a high minimal level of insurance. It sucks for the individuals who are hurt but at least they usually get paid. All countries respect the Vienna Convention or the mechanics of diplomacy break down. The Pakistanis are playing a dangerous game

And I like my double, triple dip recessions with alot of gold and silver sprinkles on top thankyou...... asta manana
Not even going to waste valuable oxygen on this MSM non-event. Just btfd! He's going to be a sacrificial lamb in a game that none of us will EVER know wtf..............Wars have historically been the elixir for depressions, duh.........excuse me, "recession":)
Lots of smoke and mirrors....
What is true....?
"The U.S. at first falsely claimed that Davis was a diplomat with the State Department and should therefore be granted diplomatic immunity"
FOR SHOOTING TWO PEOPLE.

According to the London Times, "The man accused of supplying the dynamite used in the al-Qaeda train bombings in Madrid was in possession of the private telephone number of the head of Spain's Civil Guard bomb squad . . . . The revelation has raised fresh concerns in Madrid about links between those held responsible for the March bombings, which killed 190 people, and Spain’s security services". See also this article showing that two of the bombers appear to be government informants.
Damn GW, next thing you're going to tell us Oswald had LBJ's DNA on his rectal tissue.
caused by too much punishment during toilet training.
The Anal expulsive personality has a lack of self control, being generally messy and careless.
http://changingminds.org/explanations/learning/freud_stage.htm
How did he come to be in possesion of "the private telephone number" of the head of the Civil Guards bomb squad is the question...not that he had aquired it. From who? For what? Did he buy it from another playa? How he got it is the question...not that he had it.
And "government informants" are like what? Busted drug dealers testifying against each other in a court of law?
Corroborating evidence of the crime in question is required to make the circumstantial believable in a mosh pit of liars I would think.
This isn't a court of law just a figurative grand jury empanelled to examine whether there is sufficient evidence to indict.
You sound like a defense lawyer. A really bad one.
LOL...and truthers would never be impaneled to sit on one because they go into it with a pre-concieved verdict.
And you sound like a really bad one ;-)
"Corroborating evidence of the crime in question is required to make the circumstantial believable in a mosh pit of liars I would think."
Absolutely!
Something not done post 9/11... And then there was "Curveball."
I always find it interesting that people cannot be consistent in applying their opinions/logic.
Seer,
This is much more efficient than another long rebuttal.

Something that has been sorely lacking in every pro-truther post is a redress of 911 falsities which truthers never get around to going back to.
Just continually throwing mud on the wall while being suprised that nothing sticks is no way to run an investigation son.
Likewise not going back and saying OK, we were wrong on X speaks to credibility going forward.
"I always find it interesting that people cannot be consistent in applying their opinions/logic."
I agree.
The pro-conspirits have had the ball so many times and fumbled on their own 20 that the coach (GW in this case) is thinking of punting on first down ;-)
They are consistent though in applying their selective criteria to when their logics/opinions should or not be applied.
This gives out their set of values which is of course different from the set of values they proclaim to follow.
Values are not evidence.
Some still believe in Santa/Osama and his band of 19 Jihadist Elves preformed Magic on that special day.
And ... WTC 7 committed suicide at 5:20pm.
And ... Airplanes disappear when they crash.
And ... on and on...
But ... it is all just circumstantial.
The useful idiot writes another ridiculous article.
Another useful idiot writes another ridiculous comment.
now, here is a headline i would like to see....PAKISTAN ISI DETERMINES U.S. INTELLIGENCE OPERATIVE AN AGENT PROVOCATEUR, A TERRORIST.
accordingly, the isi has decided to declare raymond davis an enemy combatant and sequester him at a secret isi facilitiy in north waziristan.
the isi indicates that after interrogation, raymond davis will reveal that virtually all the terror bombings that have plagued pakistan over the last year or so have been his handiwork, the handiwork of his fellow mercenaries in the employ of the u.s dept of state, u.s dept of defense[war].
in an aide memoire, the isi has noticed that under the same interrogation techniques employed by the usa at guantanimo, raymond davis will cough up his culpability as readily as khalid sheik mohammed. moreover the aide memoire states, the isi expects that raymond davis will give up all his associates that were similarly employed by the usgovernment to conduct "false flag", agent provocateur activities within the sovereign state of pakistan.
furthermore, the aide memoire indicates that the isi predicts that the us intelligence services have already dispatched hunter-killer teams to pakistan with the mission of eliminating raymond davis with extreme prejudice, so as to prevent the discovery of the usgovernment's multi-faceted agent provocateur activities that have caused the deaths of scores of pakistani non-combatants.
in the aide memoire's concluding paragraph, the isi asserts that these activities of the usgovernment in pakistan have been responsible for the murdering of many more pakistani non-combatants than died in the usa on ground zeros on 11 september 2001.
in the final sentence, the isi suggests that raymond davis was part of a team of assassins that were responsible for the murder of the pakistani head of state, benazir[pinky] bhutto.
Moral hazard coming home to roost...

The reason why they aren't releasing him is because they caught him red handed and the US may know it. What was he doing with 27 militants phone numbers on his cell phone, was he paying them and if so for what. This story may become a big thing real soon, just wait.
The story will not make the MSM. There will be a substantial sum of USDs paid to whomever necessary to make this go away. They're all international criminals, on both the ISI and the CIA/State Dept. sides. You can bet on it. Dollars are cheap to print. The CIA/State Dept. has an unlimited supply of them.
" that part is pure editorial bs because no field agent would be captured holding papers that say such a thing, it wouldn't make any sense"
Exactly Aerojet. But the nutjobs that swallow this stuff will let that pass unchallenged. Like the dweebs that junked your post and all following that didn't go along to get along. You guys just don't get it...your lack of critical thinking skills turns everyone off so that when you DO have something real you're ignored- frustrating, ain't it?
If your source of information is Pakistani or Russian then you're being worked.
Critical thinking skills? Damn, you are so demanding! I mean, why start now?
Yeah, just like the non-sensical paraphernalia that the 9/11 perps were found to have had in their possession. (and then there's the bit about aluminum melting and passports surviving...)
Secrecy kills. Where are all the anti-big-government people clamoring to reduce the CIA (whom the Founders would be quite displeased with) to such a size that it could be washed down the bathtub drain?
We need to walk the cat back here, all the way to...Langley?
"In a story published Tuesday, the English-language Express Tribune quoted a Punjabi police official who said Davis was actually working with the Pakistani Taliban in a bid to stoke insecurity in Pakistan and support the argument that its cache of nuclear weapons isn’t safe."
How would a Punjabi police know what a deep cover CIA agent was really doing? One of those muslim police just killed one of their own leaders for saying something too moderate. The ISI and the Pakistanis would do anything to incriminate this guy. The USA is weak. The USA is pulling out sooner than later and this will innoculate them against being USA tools. They want to keep their heads after we're gone. Looks to me like this guy was ratted out by our own people before the incident.
I know some special forces and black ops guys and they'd die before they turncoat to get their country attacked. The guy has a wife and business in Las Vegas, NV and has a lot to lose. More like he was onto something of that sort as has already been mentioned by Wikileaks recently.
Who knows? That's why they call it intrigue.
He worked for BIC straight out of college, which is a known CIA front company. If anything, I would think that's the reason he keeps all of his records sealed - to prevent people from making the connection.
false flags... and the Russian's are telling the truth... and an out of the loop contractor had files going back to the alien crash and studio 54.. Oops, area 51 on his person.. which he was sharing with the Al Queda leadership at a hash party?
its sounds like a great movie.
false flags, type 1, 2 or 3 errors, counter-counter intelligence, ECCCM, who knows! but for sure 9/11 anniversary is coming around soon, so the superstitious and the numerologists and astrologists would go overdrive; plus ben the chopper really needs to give the world a jolt to push thru QE3/4/5 and 6, soon, or the Fed will be finished, and US of A will not be able to fund its $1.5tr annual deficit for the next nth years.
Yes Hillary loves to get mud on her face...It hides her wrinkles...That is the whole issue about good diplomacy...hide your wrinkles.
Humor? With your exhibited skillset I figure you can do better than that!
