Is the ISI providing tactical information to the Taliban?

Seth Jones of RAND says he has "clear indications from intelligence sources" that they are providing more direct support than is widely believed: "Information is being passed from the ISI to Taliban units about movements of US and NATO forces, in some cases very tactical information."

Of course the ISI is providing Taleban tactical information. Forget Col. Imam, the person to fear are Hamid Gul (ex ISI chief), Gulbuddin Hekmatyar and Let Founder Hafeez Saeed. Poor AQ Khan - he was made the scapegoat by the Pakistani military and yet he was not accessible to the western intelligence agents - WHY?? What happened to the two other nuclear scientists who were sent to Burma when the Khan episode broke - Sultan Bashiruddin Mahmood and Abdul Majid.
Probably the US & western allies will get it one day too late : The complex relationship between China, N. Korea and Pakistan. And Pakistan thinks it is being too clever by half by posturing not to push them too hard or they will sit on the laps of Chinese. My dear friends, Pakistan is the tool being used by the Chinese in their Great Game and western power is falling for this - hook, line and sinker.
One question begs to be answered - Is the CIA being bankrolled by the Afghan poppy too as is the Pakistani ISI??
Every child knows that US is scared of fighting face to face with a strong enemy. Hence IRAN (without a nuclear weapon ??) and others can continue to point finger and shout without any fear of being attacked - maybe Israel can!!
The day is not far, when Pakistan will nuclear blackmail US and the free world. Not IRAN, but PAKISTAN. Mark my words !!!!!
