    A careful comment by Joshua Foust, hat tip to Abu M:http://www.registan.net/index.php/20...adars-capture/

    Amidst the summary this stands out IMHO:
    We’ll Keep It Brief: It was a joint CIA-ISI operation, with the ISI taking the lead. “ISI sab ka dada hai,” as they say: the ISI is everyone’s granddaddy.(My emphasis) We paid a price for this, keep an eye out for what it might be.

    Default A good news story for once

    An interesting comment by Steve Coll on the 'bargain':http://freerangeinternational.com/blog/?p=2604

    I read whilst off-line a variety of comments in European papers and one suggestion that the arrest was made at a VCP.

    Also see this US-based Pakistani comment:http://watandost.blogspot.com/2010/0...ndahar-to.html
