Terrorist camps thriving

[DoYouEverWonder]

Operating under new names and with the implicit approval of the Pakistani military, schools that train jihadists are an open secret

July 22, 2005

PESHAWAR, Pakistan -- As President Pervez Musharraf renews his crackdown on Muslim militant factions after this month's terrorist bombings in London, new evidence has emerged that Pakistan has continued to let such groups run military-style camps to train guerrilla fighters.

For years, the camps have been only half a secret.

"Everybody has known they were there, but no one would officially admit it," said a Pakistani official who was interviewed recently and requested anonymity. "And they were kept hidden; no ordinary people could go there."

Inconveniently for the government, the camps have gotten a bit more public in recent weeks, in Pakistan's press and a U.S. courtroom. (There has been no suggestion that the London bombers attended any such camp.)

Yeah and lets also hand over another couple of billion taxpayer dollars which will eventually trickle down to the Islamist madrassahs. We should be doing our best to clean up this terrorist hell-hole, not sweep the crap under the rug.

8. Like whenever stories about North Korean nuclear activities come up

There is that same film clip, of that scary Asian guy in the white lab coat at a power plant, doing something or other. Yikes! I must have seen that clip one hundred times already.

In the minds of the amerikan sheep.

10. Terrorist Camps in Pakistan = Perfect Targets for Stealth Bombers

Why doesn't Bush & Co take them out?

The terrorists and those that harbor them are the real enemy, right??

Name 1 pilot who wouldn't volunteer to bomb the hell outta some Al Qaeda types in Pakistan? Ok, 1 pilot *other than* the pResident.

Pakistani soldiers, ISI and Talibani militants were called "Freedom Fighters", fighting against Indians in Kashmir...
