Quite correct Mr. Haqqani. Please continue your collection and monitoring.

#5 Just one more nail in Pakistan's coffin. The sooner we dismember this failed, terrorist-controlled state, the better. If only the US had a leader, instead of a "community organizer".

#8 I had submitted my interview request through two Taliban commanders in South Waziristan. They are men I have known since I was a young reporter they fled Afghanistan and settled in Pakistan, after the fall of the Taliban regime in 2001.

Ah. An "independent" journalist.
Just the facts, ma'am...

#10 "Afghan intelligence agents are sharing information with militants about U.S. and NATO troop movements"
