Relationship with ISI on solid footing: CIA By Anwar Iqbal

WASHINGTON, April 12: The Central Intelligence Agency issued an unusual statement after a meeting between the US and Pakistani spy chiefs, saying that the relationship between the CIA and Pakistan`s Inter-Services Intelligence “remains on solid footing”.
CIA Director Leon Panetta and the ISI chief Lt Gen Ahmed Shuja Pasha had a four-hour long meeting on Monday at the agency`s headquarters at Langley, which is across the river from the White House.
“Director Panetta and General Pasha held productive discussions yesterday, and the CIA-ISI relationship remains on solid footing,” CIA spokesman George Little told Dawn .
“The United States and Pakistan share a wide range of mutual interests, and yesterday`s exchange emphasised the need to continue to work closely together,” he said.
Both sides agreed also to work closely “on our common fight against terrorist networks that threaten both countries”.
Senior US military officials also attended the meeting with the ISI chief and other Pakistani military officials. Pakistan`s ambassador in Washington, Husain Haqqani, however, did not participate in the talks.
After the meeting, the ISI chief left abruptly for Islamabad, causing wild speculations in the US capital as both US and Pakistani media had reported that he was here on a three-day visit.
But Pakistani and US officials rejected these speculations as incorrect, claiming that it was only a one-day visit and Gen Pasha`s departure on Monday evening was part of the official schedule.
Diplomatic sources told Dawn that Pakistan conveyed to the CIA chief its “reservations on the size, scope and activities” of the US agency`s team in Pakistan.
Mr Panetta is believed to have asked for more details.
Pakistan also told the CIA boss that the agency`s drone strikes inside Fata had become counter-productive and urged him to discontinue the attacks.
“If an occasional strike is required in an inaccessible area, it should be conducted with Pakistan`s coordination,” said an official familiar with the talks.
“But the most important point that the Pakistanis stressed was that they no longer trust a verbal understanding on CIA activities inside their country,” the official said.
“They have asked for a more formalised arrangement. They want everything on papers.”
The CIA is believed to have asked for more time to work out the details.
Despite the controversial nature of the issues raised in the Panetta-Shuja meeting, both sides stressed that the CIA as well as the ISI wanted their relationship to continue.
They also agreed that the CIA should issue an official statement about the proceedings of the meeting, stressing the need for continued cooperation between the two allies.
Meanwhile, the US media noted that Monday`s meeting followed a string of recent events that highlighted the increasing disagreements between the two sides on how to move forward against extremists in Pakistan and neighbouring Afghanistan.
Media reports said that Islamabad was seeking the withdrawal of over 300 US operatives from the country. This represents anywhere from 25 per cent to 40 per cent of US special operations forces in Pakistan.
Media reports also noted that the arrest and subsequent release by the Pakistani authorities of CIA security contractor Raymond Davis exposed the extent of the CIA`s network in the country. Mr Davis shot dead two Pakistanis in Lahore in January but was freed after more than $2 million in “blood money” was paid last month to the relatives of those killed.
The incident showcased the discord between the allies and gave voice to previously muted concerns in Islamabad that US counter-terrorism efforts were undermining Pakistani sovereignty, the US media observed.
Another sign of growing tensions between the two countries came last week, when the White House warned that Pakistan still had no concrete plan to eliminate violent extremist groups on its territory.
Washington insiders say such public criticism is only a small part of the long list of complaints that senior US officials have held for years.
Meanwhile, an American official told the Washington Post on Tuesday that Mr Panetta and Mr Pasha had a conversation that reflected a sense of partnership and desire to move forward. “This wasn’t some kind of ultimatum session, as some press reports have suggested it might be. The two leaders discussed common interests and a few concerns, all of which can be sorted out.”
The Post’s associate editor and columnist David Ignatius reported that he was unable to verify media reports that Pakistan had asked the US to withdraw 335 CIA officers, agency contractors and Special Forces operatives.
“That number wasn’t possible to verify in Washington. That number apparently didn’t come up in the Panetta-Pasha meeting, and an ISI source in Pakistan said on Tuesday that he couldn’t confirm it, either,” Mr Ignatius reported.

UN AND SRILANKA

The three-person panel of experts on Sri Lanka appointed in 2010 to look into possible war crimes during the decades-long conflict with Tamil secessionists submitted its findings to U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon on Tuesday. That report should include the attacks on the news media that have become a reality for journalists working there.
In a Ministry of External Affairs statement, the government immediately rejected the report as "fundamentally flawed" and "based on patently biased material."
In New York, Ban's office promised to publish the report after he shared it with the Sri Lankan government. Amnesty International said, as the report was released, that "the panel's work on accountability issues in Sri Lanka should mark the beginning, not the end, of a process of accounting for violations"--a call that seems appropriate given the Sri Lankan government's resistance to taking a deep look into the abuses that occurred over so many years.
The government-appointed, eight-member Commission on Lessons Learned and Reconciliation (CLLR) that was launched in June 2010 was dismissed by the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights, Navi Pillay. She called for an approach that would ensure independent international accountability. Human Rights Watch said Tuesday that "almost two years later, however, the government has taken no steps to hold anyone on either side of the conflict accountable for serious violations of international law, including war crimes and crimes against humanity."
Centering on the concerns of journalists and the broader issues of media freedom, CPJ has stayed out of the larger battle around what happened in the final years of Sri Lanka's national trauma. Our focus has been on dealing with the total impunity with which journalists on both sides of the conflict have been killed, abducted, beaten, and harassed. Over the years, we have often called on the U.N. and Colombo's diplomatic corps to press the government on the abuse being heaped on the country's journalists.
Many diplomats with whom we have worked over the years have done just that, sometimes publicly, sometimes quietly, to press for protection of journalists. We expect that to continue to happen as the targeting of journalists continues. Because pressure on the government has had little effect in addressing the problems raining down on journalists, organizations like CPJ have looked increasingly to the international community to raise the issues.
It now falls to the United Nations to speak out openly and forcefully, based on the findings of the commission it appointed almost two years ago. The Sri Lankan government has already complained about outside interference in its internal affairs, but with no prosecutions in the attacks on journalists and media houses (see CPJ's Impunity Index) and the context of the violence that had engulfed the country for so many years, there is justification for a closer international involvement.

HELP THESE CHILDREN

Dear MUKTI MAMUNUL,

Palestinian children living under occupation face tremendous obstacles. Two thirds of all preschoolers have no access to a kindergarten. Even the lucky ones attend facilities that are seriously lacking in what you and I would consider healthy for a developing child.

These children deserve much more than mere survival. This is why I'm proud to announce an effort that underscores our long-time commitment to improving educational opportunities for Palestinian children: ANERA's Early Childhood Development Program.

We will expand access to quality education programs for thousands of children throughout the West Bank and Gaza. We are training teachers, re-building preschools and introducing exciting programs like Arts for Childhood.

Learn more about ANERA's Early Childhood Development Program - click here.

Gratefully,

Bill Corcoran

Digital edition overcomes press blockade in Argentina by Isaac Itman

Protesters halted distribution of the print edition of Argentina daily Clarín, but hundreds of thousands of readers accessed the newspaper’s content from its website setting a new record.
Every Sunday, Clarín sells about 600,000 copies from kiosks and other vendors, according to the Circulation Verifier Institute.
Protesters prevented those copies from reaching newsstands on March 27, but the attack on the free circulation of information couldn't touch the web: the daily’s website received about 945,000 unique visits, 250,000 more than usual, according to numbers released by the paper. Some 759,000 readers also downloaded a PDF version of the sequestered print edition.
The trouble started on March 27 when dozens of people, allegedly linked to a graphic design firm owned by parent company Grupo Clarín, prevented trucks loaded with the print edition from leaving a factory in Buenos Aires’ Barracas neighborhood.
The blockade, reportedly organized by workers who were fired from the graphics company, lasted about 12 hours. To a lesser extent, the protest also hit a nearby printing factory from where daily La Nación, one of the country’s main newspapers, distributes its print edition. The blockade there held for about two hours.
This is the latest skirmish between Grupo Clarín and the government. Finance Director Alejandro Urricelqui told Dow Jones that 2010 was a "challenging" year for the company because of ongoing disputes between the media giant and the government of President Cristina Fernandez, which has accused Grupo Clarín of trying to topple her administration through biased reporting.
The government's laissez-faire stance on the protests led to accusations of an attack on free speech but Employment Minister Carlos Tomada told the Associated Press that the matter is "just a union dispute that has nothing to do with freedom of the press."
Either way, the record numbers are a small victory for the power of the digital press. Small, in part, because in a country of about 40 million people, just 4.6 million homes have Internet access, according to the National Institute of Statistics (INDEC).
Print media is still an essential tool to inform millions of citizens who cannot access the information superhighway.
