David Headley aka Daood Gilani .... bastard

This is a very long but very interesting article on David Headley who was born Daood Gilani in Washington, D.C.  His father was a rich Pakistani and his mother was Serrill Headley a free spirit from a wealthy Philadelphia family. This is a man, whose DNA makeup inherited from his muzzie dad made him a natural taqqiyah spurter and he rejoiced in making complete fools of the CIA operatives who were his employers from time to time for several years.

The Pakistani-American’s testimony at a trial in Chicago this year [3] revealed the ISI’s role in the Mumbai attacks and a plot against Denmark. It was the strongest public evidence to date of ISI complicity in terrorism.

But the trial shed little light on Headley’s past as a U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration [4] informant and the failure of U.S. agencies to pursue repeated warnings over seven years that could have stopped his lethal odyssey sooner — and perhaps prevented the Mumbai attack.

U.S. officials say Headley simply slipped through the cracks. If that is true, his story is a trail of bureaucratic dysfunction.

Both scenarios reveal the kind of breakdowns that the government has spent billions to correct since the Sept. 11 attacks.

During an interview in Delhi, former Indian Home Secretary G.K. Pillai asserted that U.S. authorities know more about Headley than they have publicly stated. Several senior Indian security officials said they believe that U.S. warnings provided to India before the Mumbai attacks came partly from knowledge of Headley’s activities. They believe he remained a U.S. operative.

“David Coleman Headley, in my opinion, was a double agent,” said Pillai, who served in the top security post until this past summer. “He was working for both the U.S. and for Lashkar and the ISI.” ....
