India claims Mumbai suspect is US double agent
Not 9/11 but needs to be posted:
David Headley, a Pakistan-born American national arrested in Chicago in October, is alleged to have carried out reconnaissance missions in the run-up to the Mumbai attacks, in which 166 people were killed.
He is also believed to have been present in the terrorists' "control room" in Pakistan where their handlers directed the killing spree over an open telephone line.
According to Indian officials, Headley travelled to India again in March this year, with the knowledge of American agencies who did not inform their Indian counterparts. During the trip, Headley is alleged to have collected intelligence for future terrorist attacks on civilian and military targets, including India's National Defence College.
Indian officials are desperate to question Headley but have been frustrated by American refusals to grant them access. A team of Indian investigators travelled to Washington shortly after Headley was arrested in October but soon returned after their American counterparts told them they would not be able to meet him.

this is remarkably similar to what CIA told the 9/11 Commission
""Indian officials are very keen to question him about his network, but we can't because we might find out about any connections with the CIA or ISI. They don't want that to happen. The Americans say 'you ask us what you want us to find out and we'll share the information'," he added."

"we might find out about any connections with the CIA or ISI."
What's the ISI?
Do these people deserve to know how and why their loved ones were murdered? The facts speak for themselves.

Any reason this isn't on the front page? It certainly seems relevant to me.
Headley visa mystery deepens
now we also have a visa scandal.
http://www.telegraphindia.com/1091218/jsp/nation/story_11879189.jsp
New Delhi, Dec. 17: The Centre today tied itself in knots over the alleged disappearance of the visa documents of terror suspects David Headley and Tahawwur Rana from the Chicago consulate.
The foreign ministry said it would not be “accurate to conclude that these visa applications are missing”. The home ministry took a similar line, hinting the visa papers were not missing but were probably lost in the pile of documents at the consulate.
