"... how we can't control our borders....' Last I heard, we didn't actually have a 'border' with Pakistan.... (Good thing, too, since we have let the jihadist problem fester and gain strength there ever since 9-11... going so far as to actually let the Taliban and al Qaeda leadership fly back to safety in Pakistan unmolested, and accepting Pakistan's rules about 'no strikes' and not even being permitted to TALK to the leading nuclear weapons proliferator on the planet.) ======================================================= The NIE is compiled from intelligence gathered by the 16 spy agencies maintained by the federal government. A portion of the report was declassified for the public. Pakistan: Safe Haven "We assess the group has protected or regenerated key elements of its homeland attack capability, including: a safe haven in the Pakistan Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), operational lieutenants and its top leadership," according to the estimate. "We see a firming up of their capability, primarily because of the safe haven," one official said at a briefing on the report. Said another, "The existence of this safe haven is critical to their ability to train and to plan." ABC News has reported on the concern over those tribal regions in Pakistan. Intelligence sources say that little has been done to take down terrorists using the regions as a nerve center for training and planning.
