US lawmakers want Haqqani declared a terror group
2012-05-12
[Dawn] Lawmakers from both US parties are urging Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton
... sometimes described as For a good time at 3 a.m. call Hillary and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another John C. Calhoun ...
to designate the Haqqani network a foreign terrorist organization.
Somebody really hasn't been paying attention.
A letter obtained by The News Agency that Dare Not be Named argues the Pakistain-based beturbanned goon group "continues to launch sensational and indiscriminate attacks against US interests in Afghanistan."

It says the Haqqani network "poses a continuing threat to innocent men, women and kiddies in the region."

The politicians are Sen. Dianne Feinstein and Rep. C.A. "Dutch" Ruppersberger, both Democrats, and Sen. Saxby Chambliss and Rep. Mike Rogers, both Republicans.

The State Department says Clinton is reviewing whether the amorphous group meets the criteria for a terrorist organization. In the meantime, many of its leaders have been individually designated as terrorists.

#4  Yes, that would be a fast moving railroad locomotive followed closely by numerous flatcars, a dozen boxcars, and at the end is a caboose. We'll stop just short of referring to it as a train however. I'm sure you'll understand.
