There's got to be more than this to warrant the heavy handedness ... FB Ali's account flies in the face of all the 'explanations.
"Raymond Davis, (more on this 'saga', here) the American held in Pakistan on double murder charges for a shooting in Lahore last month, is employed by the CIA as a contractor, U.S. sources closely following the case said on Monday. U.S. officials told Reuters Davis' duties as a bodyguard to provide physical security to U.S. Embassy and consular officers, as well as visiting American dignitaries.
The officials strongly denied news reports alleging Davis was part of a covert CIA-led team of operatives conducting surveillance on militant groups in Pakistan. The officials insisted Davis was not part of any undercover operations team. (In this account, Davis' mobile phone is said to have contacts in the Taliban controlled areas) Two U.S. sources familiar with the matter confirmed to Reuters that Davis, a former member of the U.S. Special Forces, had previously worked on contract as a security officer for Xe Services, a controversial private contractor formerly known as Blackwater. ...... Davis has been held by authorities in Lahore since last month on charges of murdering two men who Davis says were trying to rob him." (This former Pakistani General identified the two killed as ISI auxiliaries!)
