Wikileaks Releases Afghan War Diaries, Pakistan Keeps the Taliban Fighting Against US

Lt. Gen. Hamid Gul, a retired chief of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence spy agency, is singled out by name in WikiLeaks documents as having helped the Taliban and al Qaeda strike U.S. forces in Afghanistan. It's a long-standing accusation that's been repeatedly made by some U.S. officials, and strenuously denied by Gen. Gul. Other U.S. officials dispute it, too, and say he is nothing more than an aging rabble rouser with virulently anti-American views, hardly an oddity in Pakistan. That certainly is the public persona he cultivates today in Pakistan, where he's often seen on television predicting the failure of the U.S. enterprise in Afghanistan.

He's also always eager to speak with foreign journalists. The last time I spoke with him was at his home in Rawalpindi, a city adjacent to Islamabad where Pakistan's army is based. I've seen U.S. media reports portray the house as some kind of secret terror lair. It's not. If anything, the scene that afternoon at Gen. Gul's home was more Monty Python than James Bond.

He'd just had eye surgery and had to wear sunglasses indoors. The power was out, too. So we sat in a darkened living room while the general predicted the coming Islamic revolution and warned of deep trouble unless America and India changed their ways. Each time he made a point, his left eyebrow arched just above the upper rim of his sunglasses.

Afterward, he took us outside and showed us the orchard he was planting on a tiny square of land across the street. There were little pears, a pomegranate tree, grape vines running up the fence. He sent us off with a warm smile and firm handshake.

@themalina92 Although the Biblical Jesus had some issues and probably did not even exist, you're right about the New World order on its way. It never occurred to me that this could be an excuse for tighter internet security.

@themalina92 Amen.

Very much a controlled leak indeed and more than likely a CIA front for disinformation and will be used as a pretext to the next step of a highly controlled internet.

One by one, faster and faster, the NWO is tightening its grip on the throats of once sovereign nations in order to bring in their diabolical new world order, which will be seen by many lost people as a saviour "to save humanity."

There is only one true Saviour - Jesus Christ - and His followers won't be deceived.

Gul was on the Alex Jones show. Wikileaks is probably injecting disinfo. They even mention Iranian involvement. Suspicious.

Yeah, I don't know about these papers. They sound like a new version of The Pentagon Papers, aka a "controlled leak." This guy Gul has been saying 9/11 was an inside job, no wonder they want to blame him for something. Maybe they are supporting the Taliban or whatever, but there are also reports that the US is supporting the Pakistani Taliban against Pakistan and that China and Russia are supporting the Taliban as well.
