Telegraph: Reports that the Taliban/Terrorists are making money from emerald mines in the Swat Valley, they can use this money to attack NATO in Afghanistan and the Government of Pakistan. The appeasement of the Taliban/Terrorists in the Swat Valley allows them to fund their terrorists actions in Afghanistan and Pakistan. The Government of Pakistan is on a slippery slope, the more they appease the Taliban the more they create problems for themselves. The money from the selling of the emeralds allows the Taliban to fill the political vacuum in Pakistan, they can buy support. The USA should send in special forces in to the Swat Valley, the Special Forces should take what ever action is needed to stop the Taliban, all actions should be on the table. The CIA and the Special Forces should use what ever is needed, persuasion, bribery, blackmail and executive action to allow the Government of Pakistan to take control of the Swat Valley. The sore of the Swat Valley could destroy the secular Government of Pakistan and hurt Western Security in Afghanistan.
