#1 Wow! This is must reading for all Rantburgers. It details the involvement of the ISI and Pak army behind the jihadis. If what the article says about the CIA having been clueless (about the islamist movement in general) is true, then a clean sweeping for any remnant idiots need to be done in Langley.
(PS good to see you posting more Fred. Server demons tamed?)

#2 Server demons still awakening without warning. But I'm ahead of schedule at work, so I'm doing maintenance and debugging for the rest of the week.

#3 Great article, I've always though the entire Global Jihad project was basically a Saudi/Pakistani project simply redirected from Soviet Afghanistan, by the Princes and Generals, to other fields of battle like Kashmir, Philipines, Chechnya etc.

#4 Paul, I agree. It's taken me a while to figure out (needed a BIG clue-bat whacking), but it seems pretty obvious now. What two countries supported the Taliban? What two countries are the biggest sources of money, idealogy, and manpower for the jihadis? F*cking DUH! Now the question is, what are we going to do about it (other than "diplomatic pressure")?
