despite all this shadow-boxing, obama continues to play footsie with the ISI. which means the US is ok with some number of civilian casualties in the US: the ISI is important enough to obama to take some, ahem, collateral damage.

Uma: I highlighted the important points below. See whether you can pass on THE FULL REPORT to Pakistan News Paper that accused India. 1.

The father, who is reported to have gone into hiding since his son's arrest, was one of Pakistan's most accomplished pilots and flight instructors; he was stationed overseas in Britain and Saudi Arabia.

The United States has warned civilian and military leaders in Pakistan that they need to worry about a newly uncovered breeding ground for anti-American terrorists—their own families. A senior federal law enforcement official tells The Daily Beast that the Obama administration has sent a "clear, if carefully worded warning" to Pakistani leaders in recent days that their own children and others relatives, as well as their subordinates in the government, should be scrutinized for possible terrorist ties. "We've got elements of the Pakistani gentry—people who can get in and out of the United States with ease, if they're not already citizens here—who are getting roped into terrorism," says an American diplomatic official. | ... deleted
