I liked when he said "Well, I think the ISI is ... on the ISI's side."

Another good quote from the web site:

"- the Northern Alliance was a group which had been supported by Russia, Iran and worst of all, India.

- And a long-time enemy of Pakistan.

- At least as Pakistan sees it, a long-time enemy of Pakistan. The Northern Alliance leaders today are pleading for some kind of settlement with Pakistan. But nonetheless, yes, they had attacked the Pakistan embassy in Kabul in 1994 and even killed one of the employees there and so on."

That could explain a few things...
