FBI: Pakistani Spies Spent Millions Lobbying U.S.

WASHINGTON –  For years, the Pakistani spy agency funneled millions of dollars to a Washington nonprofit group in a secret effort to influence Congress and the White House, the Justice Department said Tuesday in court documents that are certain to complicate already strained relations between the U.S. and Pakistan.

FBI agents arrested Syed Ghulam Nabi Fai, the executive director of the Kashmiri American Council, on Tuesday and charged him with being an unregistered agent of a foreign government. Under the supervision of a senior member of Pakistan's spy agency, Inter-Services Intelligence, Fai donated money to political campaigns, wrote newspaper op-eds, organized congressional trips and met with White House and State Department officials.

"I believe that Fai has received approximately $500,000 to $700,000 per year from the government of Pakistan," FBI agent Sarah Webb Linden said in documents filed in federal court in Alexandria, Va.

Officially, the Kashmiri American Council had a much smaller budget and told the U.S. government that it received no foreign grants, according to Internal Revenue Service documents. Pakistan was financing similar operations in London and Brussels, the Justice Department said.

The Pakistani Embassy quickly issued a statement saying the government had no knowledge of such an arrangement.

A second man, Zaheer Ahmad, was also charged. Prosecutors said he recruited people to act as straw donors who would give money to the Kashmiri American Council that really was coming from the Pakistani government. Ahmad is not under arrest and is in Pakistan, prosecutors said. Both men are U.S. citizens.

Prosecutors said the Kashmiri American Council was being run in secret by the Pakistani government. Fai coordinated his activities with his ISI handlers and often communicated in coded emails, the FBI said. Pakistani officials reviewed Fai's budget and told him what to do and with whom to meet.

"You are aware that we have been working together for the cause for over a decade now," Fai wrote in an email to a senior ISI official in 1995. "All these years, I have closely worked with you and others who came before you. It has taken us much time, energy, dedication, strategy and planning to achieve our common cause."

Fai, 62, appeared before a federal magistrate judge, who ordered him jailed until a detention hearing Thursday afternoon. Prosecutor Gordon Kromberg said Fai faces up to five years in prison if convicted.

A soft-spoken father of two, Fai is a leading voice in the debate over the future of Kashmir, the mountainous border area that India and Pakistan have fought over for years. He supports the pro-Pakistan viewpoint that Kashmiris should vote on whether to be part of Pakistan or India. India claims the territory as its own.

He is perhaps best known in Washington for organizing the annual Kashmir Peace Conference on Capitol Hill. The event is billed as an independent forum for Indian and Pakistani voices, but the Justice Department said the Pakistani government approved the speakers and gave Fai talking points to highlight. Photo galleries on the group's website include images of him alongside Pakistani Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani.

Unholy Mosses...

This is truly sickening. Although we already had reason to believe it is the case, but to have this confirmed makes my hairs stand out.


A Pakistani Spy Among Us?
By James Jay Carafano
Published July 20, 2011 | FoxNews.com

Should we be surprised that federal authorities have arrested a Washington businessman who, we’re told, was working on behalf of Pakistan's spy agency? Or that the Justice Department says it’s part of a "long-term conspiracy" to influence U.S. officials? No.

Anyone who’s unaware that nations, even friendly ones, spy on or try to influence each other, has no business offering an opinion on foreign policy, frankly. It is – or should be – common knowledge that this goes on.

Pop quiz: Leading up to and during World War II, who spied the most on the United States? Answer: our allies, the British and the Russians. Japan and Germany were rank amateurs in comparison.

In "The Irregulars," journalist Jennet Conant relates how the British established an “organization known as the Rumor Factory, which dated back to 1941…” They even manufactured evidence of German aggression that wound up in an FDR speech. As for the Russians, stealing the secrets to the atom bomb was just an average day at the office.

It is particularly unsurprising to hear that Pakistani intelligence (known as the ISI) may be up to shady dealings. What they are doing over here is the least of our problems.

As Heritage regional analyst Lisa Curtis has noted, the “U.S. now possesses evidence that Pakistan-based terrorist groups with ISI links helped harbor bin Laden.” ISI also has links to the Haqqani network, which has engineered terrorist attacks inside Afghanistan, and other groups that have fanned the flames of violence in Kashmir.

But this latest revelation is not an excuse to pull the plug on engaging with Pakistan. The last time the U.S. walked away from dealing directly with the Pakistanis, things in that part of the world only got worse -- and that road led to 9/11.

Furthermore, the nation and the people of Pakistan deserve better than they are getting. Pakistanis have suffered more than their fair share of terrorism in their part of the world. A recent video showed Pakistan policemen being lined up and executed by the Taliban.

The U.S. needs to play tough with Pakistan -- pressing them to what is in the best interest of both our countries -- putting the fight against Islamist terrorist at the top of the agenda. Unfortunately, the president’s policies, which call for a premature drawdown in Afghanistan and talks with the Taliban, don’t help make the case that spying on Islamist terror groups will yield a bigger payback than secretly lobbying Americans.
