#1 The programme will fund 750 Pakistani students for their Masters and PhD degrees for five years in various disciplines. The US will contribute $105 million for the project and the Higher Education Commission $52.5 million.

WTF

#2 I view this as a finishing school for hard core jihadists. Perfect opportunity for the Pakis to establish double agents to work against the forces of light. Gonna win over some hearts and minds, huh? Yeah right.

#3 I guess they couldn't find 750 kids in the U.S. that could use a free ride through a school that their parents taxes pay for. These kind of handouts piss me off. I went to U.K. and graduated with a little over $50,000 in student loans. I'll be paying on them for the next 15 years. Fuck me for trying.
