Usually head position are assigned for 2 or 3 years and you got that extension by default when you got that position even if you left 1 day in retirement. That's a routine thing since ages.

Yeah, I think there is a weakness in having a serving army officer as head of ISI.

You can go from a Corps Commander or Head of PMA to head of one of the best intelligence agencies in the world? With very little prior experiance of intelligence?

CIA, Mossad, MI6 all have people who have lived and breathed that world for many years before taking charge.

There is a reason why "military" agencies like ISI, DGFI, etc. can be used to interfere in political matters and oppress people (enforced disappearances, extortion, etc.) - they are led by unqualified pawns who know no better and therefore would do anything to please their masters.
