Did the UK Torture ?

Guardian: Has an Exclusive, it reports that the UK had devised a torture policy for those suspect terrorists held in Pakistan. Lets be clear, torture should never be used, but extreme methods is something else, also the practice was outside the UK. The UK Government is not responsible for the actions of other Governments, our Allies don't ask us for approval to get information that is in our and their interest. Extreme Methods should only be used with a clear terrorists and as a last resort, Waterboarding is not torture, also it worked on the planner of 9/11. In this post 9/11 world you need the information, its Bauer Time in may respects, we as the whole might not want to get our hands dirty, but that is why we have Jack Bauer or our heroic agents in MI6 and the CIA.

Israel vs Iran, A Secret War.

Telegraph: Reports that Israel and their Secret Service the Mossad are in a secret war against Iran, all methods are being used, even Executive Action. My one advice to Israel make sure the Executive Action is the last option, try all other options first, blackmail, honey traps, false flag etc. Then if that does not work, no innocents to be taken out, get it right the first time, that's the difference between West and the Terrorists, we will get our hands dirty, but makes sure its the last option and the correct target, but after that good luck Israel.

Great Game as played by Pakistan!

The Times: Reports that the Government of Pakistan supported the Taliban while taking money from the West. If this is true its time to get tough with Pakistan, it should be made clear to Pakistan that if it wants the support of the USA and the West it cant make deals with terrorists or support them, it time to choose a side and stick to that side. The USA should the tribal areas on the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan hard, even sending in ground troops, even if the Pakistan says No. The border is a cancer to Afghanistan and Pakistan, it has to be destroyed or it will cause massive death to both countries. Does the Obama Administration have the nerve to get tough, its not something the left will be happy about, they are appeasers.

Taliban Threat to Pakistan Part Two

The New York Times: Has an excellent article on the move of the Taliban from the badlands of the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan in to Pakistan proper, how the Government of Pakistan is appeasing the Taliban, how this is a threat to the West. Even the Liberal Times gets that the Taliban are a threat, one gets the impression that the paper wants the Government of Pakistan to take a firm stand against this Terrorist movement. The Taliban are not just a threat to Afghanistan and Pakistan, they are a threat to the West, Pakistan is a nuclear power, there is no way around that fact, so if the terrorists take over Pakistan what is the plan to get the nuclear weapons out of Pakistan. This planning should be a major priority of the Obama Administration.
