That would make them a prime suspect, even if we can't really prove anything.

The ISI has deeper ties into those groups than many people are willing to give them credit, at least publicly. But you can at least see the correlation, as Patton said. And BSG may be over, but it's not dead. Or forgotten. So say we all. Raz, I think it’s quite probable there is a connection.

Come on, even agencies with much more oversight and control, like the CIA, have gotten involved in this sort of thing.

India has a tendency to put blame for everything and anything on ISI. A firecracker goes up, blame the ISI, there was an accident somewhere, ISI must be involved, your cat died, ISI must have poisoned it. Soon, they will find a way to link ISI with global warning, or the spread of swine flu. Just wait and watch. Regarding your comment about ISI: Do you really believe it?
