Pakistan Aids Insurgency in Afghanistan, Reports Assert

The notion that the ISI works with the Taliban is an open secret; it's alluded to more or less directly in a Frontline episode from last year, for (one) instance.

Pakistani politics are not simple. It is probably a mistake to view Pakistan as a single, coherent state. The ISI in particular does not appear to be accountable to "civilian leadership", which who knows if that even exists.

"We have delayed the release of some 15,000 reports from the total archive as part of a harm minimization process demanded by our source. After further review, these reports will be released, with occasional redactions, and eventually, in full, as the security situation in Afghanistan permits."

Wait... what? Granted, it looks pretty bad, but what does this imply about our good Democrat's view of "innocent until proven guilty"? If they have evidence, bring it out and be done with it; if not, that's a rather backwards claim.

Between the crosses, row on row,

   That mark our place; and in the sky

The larks, still bravely singing, fly

   Scarce heard amid the guns below.

   We are the Dead. Short days ago

We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,

   Loved, and were loved, and now we lie

         In Kandahar fields.

   Take up our quarrel with the foe:

To you from failing hands we throw

   The torch; be yours to hold it high.

If ye break faith with us who die

   We shall not sleep, though poppies grow

         In Kandahar fields.
