That’s a very misleading article-firstly Hamid Gul was not appointed after Jilani.The fellow who came after Gul ,Akhtar A Rehman,led the ISI during the operations against the ISI for almost 7 years.
Gul headed the ISI from 1987 to 89 & his area of focus was Kashmir.Zia decided to impose the parallel Sharia system in 1980-long before Gul.
The ISI is the most misunderstood organisation in Pakistan & it’s intentionally kept that way-
IF the author bothered to look at the command structure,recruitment procedures & funding of the ISI-he would realise that the ISI is just a part of the army.
Bhutto couldn’t keep her own house clean, and her own circle was known for corruption in the extreme. Benazir Bhutto’s husband, now the leader of his wife’s party, is a former Cabinet minister who spent eight years in prison on corruption accusations. He kickname is “Mr. 10 Percent”, for all of the alleged kickbacks that he took.
You might want to pose that to Dr. Wheeler.
I have learned much more here on this site about everything really, but regaring Bhutto.. I see where there was corruption throughout...which is pretty standard in any govt..it’s just the way that the fight of power comes out
