The Counterterrorism blog has a chilling update on Pakistan. If this and similar reports are largely true, the American people are in for a big surprise. My guess is that most of it is accurate, because similar reports keep popping up

As allies go, the Paks are worse than the Israelis. Their Inter-Services Intelligence is certainly the most insane spook agency in the world, singlehandedly creating the Taliban and playing at least a stepfather role to the early Al Qaeda.

Oh, joy...

If/when Musharraf falls, and if/when the 'special' Special Forces unit that's supposed to 'secure the nukes' fails to do so, New Delhi will have about six hours or so to decide whether or not to launch a full scale nuclear attack on Pakistan. *sigh* I have been grumbling for close to two decades that the first 'regional nuclear war' would be an Indo-Pak event. How lovely that I'll get to be right. ;P
