You have no control over spreading filth, really? That is why you post links to Lazarus's thread? I see you are a right winger, there are plenty of threads for folks such as yourself. Right wing extremists are tiresome.

Pakistan has apprehended 500 al-Qaeda terrorists: Powell jang.com.pk WASHINGTON: US Secretary of State Colin Powell has said Pakistan has apprehended more than 500 al-Qaeda terrorists and members of the Taliban through support from President Pervez Musharraf, stronger border security measures and law-enforcement cooperation throughout the country. In a testimony before the House International Relations Committee, on President’s Budget Request for 2005 on Wednesday, Powell referred to "many counter-terrorism successes in cooperating countries and international organisations." He said as part of the war on terrorism, President Bush established a clear policy to work with other nations to meet the challenges of defeating terror networks with global reach. "This commitment extends to the front-line states that have joined us in the war on terrorism and to those nations that are key to successful transitions to democracy in Iraq and Afghanistan," he said, adding: "Our assistance enables countries cooperating closely with the United States to prevent future attacks, improve counter-terrorism capabilities and tighten border controls." Powell said the international affairs budget provides more than $5.7 billion for assistance to the countries that have joined the US in the war on terrorism, including Pakistan, Turkey, Jordan, Afghanistan, Indonesia and the Philippines. "US assistance has also resulted in unparalleled law enforcement and intelligence cooperation that has destroyed terrorist cells, disrupted terrorist operations and prevented attacks," he said. Powell said winning on the battlefield with the superb military forces was just one step in defeating terrorism. To eradicate terrorism, he added, the United States must help create stable governments in nations that once supported terrorism, to go after terrorist support mechanisms as well as the terrorists themselves, and help alleviate conditions in the world that enable terrorists to bring in new recruits. In Iraq, he said, the United States faces one of its greatest challenges in developing a secure, free and a prosperous Iraq. Afghanistan, he added, was another high priority for the US administration. "The US is committed to help build a stable and democratic Afghanistan that is free from terror and no longer harbours threats to our security," he said.
