Nareshji,
Just a short while ago the US Ambassador to the US was being interviewed on the CNN on this issue. He made several guarded statements pointing out that no evidence has been provided by the CIA to substantiate the allegations. This in turn should provoke the US to leak out at least some evidence.
In fact, to me it appears to face such an eventuality, the Pak Govt spokesperson has already hinted of the presence of some extremist elements within its establishment. The events of the next few days will indicate how powerful the ISI still remains. In fact, the increase in terrorist attacks within India particularly in J&K and the recent incidence of firing along the LOC are all pointing to the old game of ISI to ensure that tension remains on the border. ISI is just the instrument the real problem is that the Pak Army does not want a situation where it looses it importance and thus the pre eminent position in the Pak society .It will really be interesting to see how the situation develops.
