| #6 An interesting article, indeed, Paul D. The thing is, the progressives won't speak up so linig as it's likely to get them killed. |

| #5 Why was Pakistan blocking sanctions against a terrorist group? And this takes me back to Pervez Musharraf’s first visit to the US after his coup. At a meeting with a group of journalists among whom I was present, my dear and much lamented friend Tahir Mirza, then the Dawn correspondent, asked Musharraf why he was not acting against Lashkar-e Tayba and Jaish-e Muhammad. Musharraf went red in the face and shot back, “They are not doing anything in Pakistan. They are doing jihad outside.” Khalid Hasan was Daily Times’ US-based correspondent. |

| #4 The problem in Pakistan today is not that state collapse has created the space for violent jihadi elements to operate as they please – rather, the problem is that the militarized state itself has created, perpetuated, and cultivated these elements.”This was written by a Pakistani so gives me a little hope of optimism in this mess of a country!

| #3 Didn't the top US DOD dude say that any future President who puts a large army in Asia, "should have his head examined"? Hell, we of the NUKEM group opposed field operations from day one. FYI: the pak-terror-entity was near bankrupt on 9-11, in face of US sanctions. Now everyone has cell phones in the Wazoos. I say: destroy the Pashtun savageries and deal with Northern Alliance elements on the Lithium properties. |

| #1 According to the article, the cable was dated December, 2009. But thanks to WikiLeaks, those who resolutely ignored the copious evidence before can no longer do so. |
