The Wikileaks documents, based on which the NYT, the Guardian and Der Spiegel have carried simultaneous but independent reports, are being described as the biggest Intelligence Leak in history. Given the sheer numbers (said to be 92,000 individual reports), it is going to be quite some time before the available documents can be properly analysed, but the NYT report  provides the following that would be of interest to India, even if these details have already been known and discussed widely:

American officials have rarely uncovered definitive evidence of direct ISI involvement in a major attack. But in July 2008, the C.I.A.’s deputy director, Stephen R. Kappes, confronted Pakistani officials with evidence that the ISI helped plan the deadly suicide bombing of India’s Embassy in Kabul.

From the current trove, one report shows that Polish intelligence warned of a complex attack against the Indian Embassy a week before that bombing, though the attackers and their methods differed. The ISI was not named in the report warning of the attack

In other instances, American intelligence learned that the Haqqani network sent bombers at the ISI’s behest to strike Indian officials, development workers and engineers in Afghanistan. Other plots were aimed at the Afghan government.

While the NYT (from which the above has been taken) has blanked out "Some names and details" "to conceal suspects' identities, or because they might put people in danger or reveal key tactical military capabilities", it is possible that the Wikileaks site may have the original documents. Haven't checked there yet.

When incompetence and mediocrity is encouraged at every level in India whether in the form of reservations or secularism or minorities the outcome is sealed - hope and hopeless situation. Don't blame the US. They have never said they support India in unambiguous terms, nor acted this way and now for those who thought US will support India this should put an end to it. If your pants are down, at least realize it and make an effort to pull it up. Don't wait for others to determine whether it is up yet.

But Islam stands for peace - after everyone is killed in the name of jihad. The world faces two greatest threats - destruction of environment by western christian powers and destruction of everything by muslims. Indian elite urbanites are eager to accelerate these processes in the name of rising middle class and secularism.

MK Gandhi's quote is relevant even today.

"There is no doubt in my mind that in the majority of quarrels the Hindus come out second best. But my own experience confirms the opinion that the Mussalman as a rule is a bully, and the Hindu as a rule is a coward. I have noticed this in railway trains, on public roads, and in the quar¬rels which I had the privilege of settling. Need the Hindu blame the Mussalman for his cowardice? Where there are cowards, there will always be bullies. They say that in Saharan¬pur the Mussal¬mans looted houses, broke open safes and, in one case, a Hindu woman's modesty was outraged. Whose fault was this? Mussalmans can offer no defense for the execrable conduct, it is true. But I, as a Hindu, am more ashamed of Hindu cowardice than I am angry at the Mussalman bullying. Why did not the owners of the houses looted die in the attempt to defend their possessions? Where were the relatives of the outraged sister at the time of the outrage? Have they no account to render of themselves? My non-violence does not admit of running away from danger and leaving dear ones unprotected. Between violence and cowardly flight, I can only prefer violence to cowardice”

Americans are the biggest reason pakistan could develop nuclear weapon. Those bastards Reagan, George bush Sr and later clinton are responsible. Our politicians are encourage by americans to talk. what any of the talks have achieved so far. Bajpeyi's lahore bus journey is part of hall of shame.

Can some one remember Prithviraj Chouhan showed mercy 16 times on ghori before loosing India. It is better to throw out these bleeding heart liberals and be ready for nuclear war and finish off pakistan.

Well...

Now that the role of Paki army/ISI is established, can the victims' families sue the Pakistani Govt. via UN and get compensation that is reasonable like $10 million per person and attach the assets of the murderous Pukestan if they don't pay?

We all know the crooks MMS/Sonia have no patriotism or love for Indians. He or his External Affairs don't care about these things.

Can some one here who has the access to a law firm or UN find out and help the victims to sue the hell out of the barbaric Pukes. They are getting away with murder/terrorism cheaply. So they will keep doing it. If they have to pay millions of compensation, the barbaric scums might worry about killing innocent Indians easily.

Look at it this way.

USA pays Pak billions. Pak funds Afghan Taleban and assists them in attacking US forces. Pak ISI gace Haqanni faction, 1000 motorcycles to attack US forces.

Pak also runs a jobs program, paying 10-30k to terrorist , for every Indian worker killed in Afganistan.

Only difference, India does not pay Pak. US does.

Anyway, Indian politicians are paralytic and frozen. They have no ideas, no response ( except farcical talks with a wilfully criminal and dishonest entity like Pakistan to hoodwink people ) to Pak's venality.
