Nice of the media to confirm something we on FR have known about for a month or so....

Asia Times Online can confirm media reports in Pakistan that Pakistan has allowed the US to use some of its air bases for surveillance purposes, including Kohat and Bannu. Residents of North West Frontier Province are already witnessing flights of US "spy" planes over the region.

This is Terror Central. Nothing escapes the watchful eyes here.


This is getting big there. But this week's gabfests will focus on Nader and gaymarriage.

Kind of like the Tenet visit. . . .

On "Jalaluddin Haqqani" in the last day or so I've seen his name pop up. Some Taliban spokesman with the name of "Mohammed Saiful Adel" mentioned that JH was running the show for the Taliban along the border. I have noticed that Saiful Adel is very much like Saif al-Adel, but I can only imagine that it is a different person. Saif al-Adel is Egyptian, and this Saiful Adel seems to be Taliban, therefor probably ethnic Pashtun. Probably a case of "John Smith" commonality.
