Aha! second-hand ISI connection?

From the NYT, posted just today:


WASHINGTON — A former Defense Department official said Wednesday that American intelligence agencies had determined that former officers from Pakistan's Army and its powerful Inter-Services Intelligence agency helped train the Mumbai attackers.

But the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said that no specific links had been uncovered yet between the terrorists and the Pakistani government.

Those are the two lede grafs, but oddly, the remaining 800 or so words of the piece don't flesh it out at all. Strange.
