Pakistani terrorist organization that does Pakistan’s dirty work for it, so that Pakistan can maintain deniability. That way when you try to identify the group attacking you, it always turns out to be Pakistanis, but not Pakistan.

And Pakistan thinks it can hide behind that fig leaf indefinitely, and pay no price.

I heard an interview with an Indian political scientist last night, and he said Osama bin-Laden gave L-e-T $200,000 at the same time he was trying to organize al-Queda.
