Wikileaks' War Logs Highlight Global Intelligence Facade Of 'War On Terror'
CIA funds ISI -- ISI funds Taliban, Al Qaeda

The Wikileaks Afghanistan War Logs, publicly released today, highlight and corroborate what we already know about the "war on terror" -- it is a vast and decompartmentalised intelligence operation.
The London Guardian reports:
"A stream of U.S. military intelligence reports accuse Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) spy agency of arming, training and financing the Taliban insurgency since 2004, the war logs reveal, bringing fresh scrutiny on one of the war's most contentious issues."
The reports are said to have been mostly collated by junior officers relying on informants and Afghan officials, prompting one senior U.S. intelligence officer to describe them as a mixture of "rumours, bullshit and second-hand information".
However, it has been common knowledge for years that the ISI created the Taliban and Al Qaeda as we now know them, acting in its capacity as a direct front for U.S. intelligence.
Before 9/11, Pakistan worked directly with the CIA to create the Taliban in Afghanistan. Selig Harrison from the Woodrow Wilson International Centre for Scholars stated:
"The CIA made a historic mistake in encouraging Islamic groups from all over the world to come to Afghanistan. The U.S. provided $3 billion for building up these Islamic groups, and it accepted Pakistan's demand that they should decide how this money should be spent.
The old associations between the intelligence agencies continue. The CIA still has close links with the ISI (Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence).
Today that money and those weapons have helped build up the Taliban, Harrison said. The Taliban are not just recruits from 'madrassas' (Muslim theological schools) but are on the payroll of the ISI. The Taliban are now "making a living out of terrorism."

@james9689 Reading the news today, it makes me wonder. This whole leak really looks planned, considering the circumstances and was used to deflect something far more relevant. It said several billion dollars is missing from the fund that was supposed to aid in reconstruction of Iraq and Afghanistan. The Pentagon once again cannot account for it. Echos of the 911 "attack" on the Pentagon and the only part hit was accounting records. It was pure deflection, IMO. Same old, same old.

I'm in the same mind set, the pentagon spokes person on fox news said "any responsible journalist would have given us the information to check" that just reads like we will check and sensor what we wish, this guy also says they should have contact government sources ect.
But why give them a heads up and prepare themselves :S

well, lets be serious here.1000 different scenarios could be thought up,, but If wikileaks all of the sudden does something that ISNT wikileaks and just a month ago the govt said they wanna talk to their creator. Wikileaks may be sending you a message that they arent allowed to be the same site (or to talk about it) if they want to continue living. Its only a matter of time before our freedom of internet speech is gone and we will all have to talk in code.
