Wiki Leaks Illustrate Pakistani Double-Dealing
Sadanand Dhume, The Australian | July 30, 2010
The documents posted by Wiki Leaks show that Pakistan continues to double deal the West. ++ While accepting aid money, Islamabad persists in “using militant Islamists to further its ideological and strategic goals.” ++ The United States needs to increase pressure on the Pakistani military to sever its ties to the Taliban. ++ In the long term, however, the destabilizing role Islamabad plays regionally and internationally will not change unless “Pakistan ceases to be a garrison state.”
