From BCCI to ISI

ENTRAPMENT is the illegal and unsavory practice

of luring someone into committing a crime, and then

prosecuting him for it. Sometimes the entrapped person,

organization, or state has no intention or knowledge of

the committed crime. The target becomes a victim of a set-up

by government agencies, criminal elements, or a collaboration

of both, all intent on achieving unstated objectives. Various

agencies within the U.S. Government have been using entrapment

in diverse ways.

“Frame-ups” in drug “conspiracies” are routine in the United

States: there are literally thousands of drug-related conspiracy

cases in the United States in which innocent people

are implicated and punished. Arnold S. Trebach writes in his

book, The Great Drug War: “In many of these cases, the DEA

allowed some of its informants to traffic in drugs in exchange

for turning in their friends and supplying other information.

In too many cases, Gieringer claimed, DEA agents themselves

directly engaged in trafficking.”1

Trapping innocent people is routine in the United States,

and is by no means limited to crimes involving drugs. James

Bovard gives numerous examples in his famous book: Lost

Rights. Based upon his many years of research he concludes:

“During the past fifteen years, law enforcement officials have

set up thousands of elaborate schemes to entrap people for

‘crimes’ such as buying plant supplies, asking for a job, or

shooting a deer. Dozens of private accountants have become

double agents, receiving government kickbacks for betraying

their clients to IRS.”2

At the highest level, the classic example of entrapment, before

Operation 9/11 to frame Osama bin Laden and company,

was operation “C-Chase” in 1988, the purpose of which

was to frame the Bank of Credit and Commerce International

(BCCI) and force its closure. Operation 9/11 is more complex

because during this operation, Pakistan’s military intelligence

agency (ISI) was entrapped while playing a role in facilitating
