If top civilian leaders knew the truth about what occurred then this inquiry was a pretty elaborate misdirection.

Quote from: Admiral Yi on July 08, 2013, 02:21:14 PMFair enough.  By "whole government" I meant the civilian leadership too, not just the ISI acting rogue.

Quite possibly.

Though I think it's also likely that significant parts of the leadership, one way or the other, could have been kept in dark by other parts. I get the impression that factionalism is rife, as it were.
For much of the time civilian leadership would mean Musharraf and it would be interesting to know how much he knew.

I think it's more than possible ISI and the military would hide it from Zardari after he came to power in 2008. They probably just had to distract him with a new sports car or something.

Speaking of al-Jazeera, I read this opinion piece this morning and thought of all you al-Jazeera fans.  This dude is not a fan.
