If you don't already it would be a good idea to follow the english editions of Pakistani news.

It is very good for open source information. For those that have not had the time yet. The Pakistanis are claiming that they have blunted the Taliban offensive in Dir and Buner and that may not be a Taliban threat after all??
Anyway the editorials are very good at times there is an article that asks if Pakistan should finally recognize that there is no difference between the Taliban that fight in Afghanistan and the ones that fight in Pakistan. Maybe the Pakistan government will wake up to the fact there is no difference between the Taliban and al-Qaeda. Come to think of it maybe everyone should recognize this fact. It is still sad to see our politicians thinking there is a difference.
