A number of American citizens have written letters expressing their gratitude to Pakistan for its important role in foiling the alleged British airline bomb plot and helping in the broader war on terror.
In letters addressed to Pakistan UN Ambassador Munir Akram, they said that the active and timely help of the Pakistan government, especially the work done by the ISI, prevented a disaster of great magnitude with all its consequences.
A typical letter sent by Chuck Schlakman, a retired holtelier, said, "speaking for millions of proud and grateful Americans, we hasten to take this opportunity to sincerely express our vigorous appreciation for the exceptional role generated by your government's ISI.
"A sincere heartfelt thank you to Pakistan ISI for their unwavering courage and relentless commitment to world peace." Other letters express similar sentiments.
