#1 So does ABC plan to show what it admits is AlQueda propaganda? That the terrorists won a few battles does not, after all, mean Pakistan lost the campaign. Even I, civilian that I am, know that much.

#2 I saw it the other day. ABC did a fair job, admitting it was al-Q footage from last year and the Paks were going on the offensive again.

#4 Actually, the Bad Guys pretty much did win the Waziristan fighting at the end of the day. They and their tribal allies sent the Pakistani military home with a bloody nose and remained free while doing so. As a result, the region remains a terrorist nest despite all the proclamations that it's now safe.

#6 So if someone were to come in the back way - say from, oh, Afganistan - who besides the bad guys would know? And how would anyone know it was not just "tribal warfare"?
