Sood points out that the CIA's intervention concerns the U.S. and Pakistan, not India and Pakistan. Indo-Pak relations, tricky at best, have been strained by the Kabul attacks, recent bombings in two major Indian cities and skirmishes just this week along the border in Kashmir. Starting July 28, soldiers on both sides of the border exchanged gunfire...
