Another good comment on the Pakistani situation ..

All this is incredibly interesting in light of the recent information that she had NO BULLET WOUNDS, and an autopsy was avoided!!

Couple of things with the Pakistan-situation, which aren’t adding up. As background, Pakistan government is claiming that they have a recording; and that the telecom conference/call shows AlQueda was involved. Here are the problems:

Ongoing Investigation

Normally, during an “ongoing” investigation, the last thing the government in the US would want to do was indicate what they knew or didn’t know. This would tip people off. It makes no sense for the Pakistanis — before apprehending those people supposedly on the tape — to disclose the information the Pakistanis have, their methods, or their suspicions. These should be kept confidential until the suspects are apprehended. Disclosing the information before apprehending anyone casts doubts about the motivations for the disclosure, the accuracy of the claims behind the information, and the credibility the government investigation is serious about finding someone.

Electronic Interception

Curiously, the Pakistanis want us to believe they have a recording, but they cannot explain how they knew — in advance — to target this phone/communication device; or, why — despite this information about the phone — they were unable to put energy into locating in physical space/on planet earth where these people were. It is backwards to have a recording of someone, not take action to detain them; however, know enough to have ongoing surveillance, but there is no apparent effort to ensure the conversations were recorded and acted upon for purposes of preventing an attack.

Questions

- How was the Pakistani government able to pinpoint the phone they were using, but unable to track that phone to a physical location, and prevent the attack; or quickly round up those supposedly involved?

- How many people are they monitoring, who are engaged in ongoing conversations, but they’re not doing anything about?

- If people were going “off line”, then why weren’t people sent into the area to find these people supposedly connected with the phone lines, instead of letting these “known people” wander around?

- How do they explain being able to track a phone line, but no ability to locate that person?

- Why are they disclosing — before apprehending — the identities of the people they think are involved?

Conclusions

The claim the Pakistani government is making are dubious. It does not seem credible that they would disclose — now — specific information about suspects, but not take steps to apprehend the people. Rather, the fact that they supposedly have these people “under surveillance” and have “recordings” suggests the opposite: There are no real recordings, they don’t know where the suspects are, as they should if they can monitor them.

Judgments

The transcript has been fabricated. There are no suspects. The claims AlQueda are making have not been captured on any ongoing surveillance or monitoring effort. The Pakistani government has no evidence. The people making claims have not been targeted through either electronic surveillance or physical detention or monitoring.

The Pakistani government appears to be lying and misrepresenting the status of the investigation. They do not appear to have any real information; and their “disclosure” of this information doesn’t mean the information is real, true, accurate, or signs of progress. It is our judgment the people who may ultimately be brought to trial may have nothing to do with any planning; and it is likely the electronic evidence used to convict them could be tainted, fabricated, and not survive cross-examination. The people currently being targeted, accused, or are “under surveillance” appear to be nothing more than convenient scapegoats. We have no confidence the investigation into the assassination will be untainted. We make no judgements as to the alleged complicity of ISI or who was involved with the assassination.
