The 110-page report has pointed out that the ISI neither has a website nor an email account. When the commission checked whether the spy agencies of other countries too were inaccessible, it found out that almost all the important agencies had made their contact details, like telephone numbers and email addresses, public.
The Central Intelligence Agency, Federal Bureau of Intelligence and the National Security Agency of the United States have all provided their contact particulars on their publicly reachable websites.
The Military Intelligence Section 5, Secret Intelligence Service, National Counter Terrorism Security Office and the Counter Terrorism Command of the United Kingdom have also provided their contact particulars on their websites, according to the report.
The commission said that it wrote letters to the government functionaries, seeking information and answers to certain questions. Subsequently, responses were received from the Establishment Division, Finance Division, ministries of interior, religious affairs, states and frontier regions, Federal Investigation Agency, ISI, National Counter Terrorism Authority and office of the National Security Adviser. But none of the responses was on a letterhead. All of them were on plain pieces of paper which didn’t mention any address, email account or even a post office box number.
One could only sympathise with the poor citizens who might have to interact with these organisations.
Yes it is correct. More than this not required. Commission made startling revelations but write it for record nothing is going to happen. It is the past track record of such enquiries. Interior Minister has already jumped in with defence mechanism. Intelligence and Establishment agencies since long are sacred and untouchable cows. The only commodity in abundance is public which was suffering, is suffering and will continue to suffer. Whole nation is paralysed mentally and physically. For such revelations hue and cry will be made for couple of days and then all will again in a deep sleep. This is what is happening since many decades and will continue indefinitely.
