Al Qaeda Chiefs Are Seen to Regain Power.

"WASHINGTON, Feb. 18 — Senior leaders of Al Qaeda operating from Pakistan have re-established significant control over their once-battered worldwide terror network and over the past year have set up a band of training camps in the tribal regions near the Afghan border, according to American intelligence and counterterrorism officials."

And, by the way, Pakistan is a nuclear proliferator, one with nuclear weapons who has exported the technology, a haven for terrorists and a military dictatorship.

There are people who object to negotiating with Iran and Syria on "moral" grounds who don't mind sleeping with Pakistan. Go figure.
