...have accused Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence agency of supporting terrorism in Afghanistan, particularly in the case of the recent Indian embassy bombing in Kabul. Do you think the new civilian government in Pakistan can rein in the ISI? [Pakistani Prime Minister Yousaf] Gilani is a good man. He has the right intentions. I hope he gets the tools of control. Today, the army chief of Pakistan was in Afghanistan, at Bagram air-force base.

...resignation of his counterpart, Pervez Musharraf, with whom he had particularly testy relations. "What matters is institutional corrections." His government has exchanged increasingly harsh words with Islamabad over the past few months, alleging a Pakistani hand in Afghanistan's security problems. He was particularly pointed about Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) spy agency. "If Pakistan is using radicalism as a tool of policy for strategic depth in Afghanistan, well, I wish to tell them that it won't work," Karzai said...
