Was the ISI involved in the Pakistani border post bombings?
I don't trust the Pakistanis and especially their military and intelligence. They've been playing a duplicitous game with the US and the Taliban. They protected Bin Laden for several years and made sure he wouldn't get caught until the US acted alone. Check out this excerpt from MSNBC news:

Col. Gary Kolb, spokesman for the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force in Kabul, said the aircraft were taking part in a strike that was a coordinated effort with ISAF, Pakistani military and the Pakistani border authorities, NBC News reported.

So according to this story this was a "coordinated effort with ISAF." I wouldn't put it past Pakistani military to pull off a false flag operation that leads to the US leaving the region. This helps their Taliban and terrorist friends.

1. How far do I trust them?
About as far as I could throw them.

It also helps solidify their authority around the rage that is swirling as a consequence of this "coordinated" effort--that no one inside Pakistan realizes was quite THAT coordinated...

2. Good point
It puts them on the side of those that have been attacked. They can make a fuss and act like they are defending Pakistan when they have been playing along all along.
