#1 The ISI is surely the second most negative, reactionary force on the face of this planet after the Saudi royals.

#2 Now, folks, HERE is a real Quagmireâ¢: the Pak govt and its opposition parties! One does not hear much about this in the mainstream press because they do not have the memories and intellectual prowess to keep track of all these nutcases and how they interact.

#3 Actually, I'd have to cut them a little bit of slack. It's on the other side of the world and everybody's named Ahmed or Mahmoud and it's hard for a j-school grad to tell them apart. I read about this stuff every day and it still confuses me.

Where I don't cut them slack is in covering Qazi, Fazl, Sami, Hafiz Saeed, Azam Tariq, Syed Salahuddin, Hamid Gul and the rest of the cast of thousands of lunatics littering the Pak political landscape. Most people who don't read the Pak press daily (or Rantburg) have no conception of the virulence toward us lying deep in the hearts of Our Noble Allyâ¢... Or maybe not so deep.
