#1 "the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) - which Pakistan's intelligence community says maintains its biggest South Asian presence in Pakistan - sprung into action and staged a coup of its own"

You mean the CIA actually had someone who, instead of spending all his time undermining the Administration's policies, went out and did what a spy agency is supposed to do?

Color me very surprised.

#3 NATO chose not to promote Secularism in Afghanistan and Pakistan. However, in a climate where doubt in religious positions is enabled, militant groups are subject to defectors and infiltrators. I have always opposed Karzai's cultivation of Taliban-lite as a final solution to division in Afghanistan.
