The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Karachi). We had the TTP conduct an attack in Karachi on Sept 19 too.
It wasn't as big as the naval attack in the spring but it was targeted
and successful. They are tactically different, please take a look at
this. We wrote on a large number of armed assaults, sometimes
coordinated with VBIED or suicide IEDs on significant, but not
necessarily hardened, targets through 2008-2010. The recent attacks
in Karachi were individual suicide bombers, right? When was the last
attack outside of the NW that hit this level:
TTP can't defeat Pak army. The only way they can win is due to an
international crisis like U.S. doing more and more Abbottabad type
raids or a war with India. If we are arguing that the TTP is split
than isn't a possible way that they could defeat the Pak army is if
and when they decide to come together as a group as opposed to acting
as different factions who don't always agree on how to approach a
situation? they can maintain an insurgency in their own territory, but
resort to terrorist tactics outside of it, I find it hard to believe
even unifying them would create a major threat to the Pak Military.
instead they just maintain a certain threat level. So if you have
another OBL situation or even a war with India if the TTP is still
divided they can't win. Pakistan cannot defeat the insurgency
militarily because of the geography and demography. Islamabad needs a
political settlement where these people are given local authority in
their areas and in keeping with the constitution. I go back to the
different factions. How is it possible for isl to have any kind of
political settlement when different factions don't necessarily follow
the same agenda or same authority [we are already seeing contradictory
statements coming out of the Taliban. We have some TTP commander
claiming that the ceasefire happened a month ago. And within that past
month you not only had a TTP claimed attack (Oct 29) you had
Hakimullah Mesud (Nov 13) threaten further attacks on the govt. and
the army. So the different factions aren't on the same page and isn't
it possible that giving them local authority of their areas would
result in warring factions (like we see in Kurram) as different
factions seek to expand their influence and territory. Additionally
the vocalized demands of the TTP are something that the Pakistani
government can't agree to. Such as the TTP asking Pakistan to cut off
its ties with the US. I understand that if there were to be a
political settlement which could somehow ensure that the different
factions occupying their respective areas wouldn't seek to expand it,
it would be great, but what kind of settlement would that be? and does
such a settlement even exist?
Such a settlement depends on what happens in Afghanistan. But the
Pakistanis are not taking any chances given the uncertainty; hence the
move towards talks. Unless you know something is actually going on the
only vocalized statements of actual talks are coming from this
'unnamed militant source close to Hakimullah Mehsud.' The army has
denied talks, the government has denied talks. A month ago Rehman
Malik said talks would be a good idea, a month ago Hakimullah said
that based on the decision of his shura they will consider talks.
There are two views towards an American withdrawal:
1) It will make matters worse because an Afghan Taliban comeback will
embolden Pak Talib rebels; 2) American withdrawal will eliminate the
conditions for Taliban activity on both sides of the border (Mullah
Omar will issue a fatwa etc). This latter assumes a political
settlement prior to the U.S. pullout while the the first one assumes
U.S. draws down without a new power sharing agreement leading to a new
civil war. Agreed. But the TTP support doesn't only come from the
Afghan Taliban there are other groups on that border that may or may
not be part of a US political settlement with the Afghan Taliban. Does
MO have it in him to speak for any and all groups that occupy the
Af-pak border that can potentially influence the activities and
strength of the TTP?

are up to. Even if some can be negotiated with it helps Islamabad
divide the movement from within. But then again we have seen peace
deals in the past going down. At the time however, the Talibs had
the upper hand and they were pre-military offensive.
So Kamram, do the TTP no longer have the military hand? Long term
does either TTP or Pakistani government have a chance of winning

Pakistani Taliban declare nationwide cease-fire

PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AP) a** The Pakistani Taliban [TTP] has
declared a cease-fire to encourage nascent peace talks with the
government, a senior commanders said, a move that appears to show
the deadly group's willingness to strike a deal with state.
The commander said the cease-fire has been in effect for the past
month and was valid throughout the country.
"We are not attacking the Pakistan army and government
installations because of the peace process," he said late Monday.
The commander is close to Hakimullah Mehsud, the leader of the
Taliban. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not the
official spokesman of the insurgent network.

with al-Qaida and based in the northwest close to the Afghan
border, has been behind many of the scores of bloody suicide

people have been killed in the bloodshed.
The United States wants Pakistan to keep the pressure on
insurgents and would likely be concerned about any effort to
strike a deal. Many of its fiercest foes in Afghanistan, as well
as al-Qaida operatives from around the world, live alongside the
Pakistan Taliban in North Waziristan.
Much remains unclear about the nature of the talks and their
potential. Both the army and the militants have engaged in
misinformation before. Some reports have said any deal would only

ISLAMABAD: Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), a major security
threat to the country, is holding exploratory peace talks with the
Pakistani government, a senior Taliban commander and tribal
mediators told Reuters on Monday.
The talks are focused on the South Waziristan region and could be
expanded to try to reach a comprehensive deal. The Taliban are
making several demands including the release of fighters from
prisons, said the commander.

administration is ready to start talks with all factions of the
Taliban, including the Haqqani network.

He said that the approach currently being tried was similar to
that which was tried in Swat, where the government offered a peace

Pakistani Taliban, Government Hold Initial Talks
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Published: November 20, 2011
Updated: November 21, 2011 at 7:31 AM ET
DERA ISMAIL KHAN, Pakistan (AP) a** Government intermediaries have
held talks with the Pakistani Taliban in recent months exploring
ways to jump-start peace negotiations, intelligence officials and
a senior militant commander said.
As reports of the talks emerged, officials said Monday that gunmen
ambushed a paramilitary convoy in southwestern Baluchistan
province, killing 14 soldiers. Baluchi nationalists have waged a
decades-long insurgency against the government, demanding greater
independence and a larger share of the province's natural resource
The Pakistani Taliban have waged a separate war against the
government. A peace deal between authorities and the group could
represent the best hope of ending years of fighting that has
killed thousands of security personnel and civilians.
But it is unclear whether the preliminary talks will gain traction
or if the Pakistani Taliban are unified enough to actually strike
a deal. It is also uncertain whether a deal could last.
The government has cut peace deals with the Pakistani Taliban in
the past, but they have largely fallen apart. The agreements have
been criticized for allowing the militants to regroup and rebuild
their strength to resume fighting the government and foreign
troops in Afghanistan.
Talk of a new peace deal could be troubling to the United States
if it is seen as providing militants with greater space to carry
out operations in neighboring Afghanistan. However, Washington's
push for a peace deal with the Afghan Taliban could make it
difficult to oppose an agreement in Pakistan.
The Afghan and Pakistani Taliban are allies but have primarily
focused their attacks on opposite sides of the border. The
Pakistani Taliban also trained the Pakistani-American who carried
out a failed car bombing in New York's Times Square in 2010.
The government delegations that held preliminary talks with the
Pakistani Taliban over roughly the past six months have included
former civilian and military officials and tribal elders, the
intelligence officials and a senior militant commander said in
recent interviews with The Associated Press, speaking on condition
of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the talks.
As a confidence building measure, the Pakistani Taliban released
five officials from the country's Inter-Services Intelligence
agency who were kidnapped in Baluchistan province, the officials
and the commander said in the interviews.
The Pakistani Taliban's top demand is that the army pull out of
the South Waziristan tribal area, which served as the group's main
sanctuary before a large military offensive in 2009, said the
commander, who is close to Pakistani Taliban chief Hakimullah
The army could be replaced by the paramilitary Frontier Corps, but
the militants have demanded that only local police conduct
patrols. They also want the government to pay compensation for
damages incurred during the South Waziristan operation, free
Pakistani Taliban prisoners and allow the group's leaders to move
freely throughout the country.
According to the intelligence officials and the militants, the
Pakistani Taliban's leadership council held a meeting in
mid-September in which they came up with these demands. They also
authorized the group's deputy leader, Maulana Waliur Rehman, to
hold talks with the government regarding South Waziristan and
other tribal areas.
On Saturday, a Pakistani Taliban spokesman told the AP the group
has added another demand a** that the government cut ties with the
United States if it wants to make peace with the militants.
"Do it and we are brothers, but if not, our war against the
government will go on," said spokesman Ehsanullah Ehsan.
Some analysts have argued that the Pakistani Taliban has
splintered into so many different groups that it might be
difficult for the leadership in South Waziristan to agree to a
comprehensive peace deal.
The government held a meeting of all major political parties at
the end of September in which they agreed that the government must
attempt to start peace talks with the Pakistani Taliban. But it is
unclear what conditions the government and, more importantly, the
powerful military would agree to.
The military has conducted a series of offensives against the
Pakistani Taliban in the country's semiautonomous tribal region
along the Afghan border over the past few years.
For their part, military officials have said they have not held
any recent peace talks with the Pakistani Taliban.
The attack on the paramilitary Frontier Corps convoy in
Baluchistan occurred Sunday night about 90 miles (150 kilometers)
northeast of the provincial capital, Quetta, said Frontier Corps
spokesman Murtaza Baig. Ten soldiers were also wounded.
The Baluchistan Liberation Army claimed responsibility for the
attack, according to the group's spokesman, Azad Baluch, who
alleged the group's fighters killed 40 paramilitary soldiers.
Associated Press writer Abdul Sattar contributed to this report
from Quetta.

on Sunday night, not Monday.)

Pakistani militant leader threatens to break peace
By HUSSAIN AFZAL - Associated Press | AP a** 1 hr 56 mins ago
PARACHINAR, Pakistan (AP) a** A Pakistani militant commander close
to the Afghan border threatened Saturday to abandon an unofficial
peace deal with the government, raising the specter of more
violence in the nuclear-armed country.
Hafiz Gul Bahadur cited American missile strikes and shelling by
the Pakistani army as the reason for his threat, which was made in
a one-page statement distributed in the town of Miran Shah in the
North Waziristan region, the militant leader's main base.
"If the government continues with such brutal acts in the future,
it will be difficult for us to keep our patience any longer," the
statement said.
Hafiz Gul Bahadur commands up to 4,000 fighters in North
Waziristan, which is under the effective control of his group and
other militant organizations. He is believed to have a loose
arrangement with Pakistan's army under which troops refrain from
targeting him or his fighters as long as his militant group
focuses its attacks only on U.S. and NATO troops across the border
in Afghanistan.
Pakistan's army doesn't officially recognize the deal. Army
officers were not available for comment.
If Bahadur were to make good on his threat, it could mean more
bombings in Pakistani cities and pose tactical challenges for the
army's stretched forces in North Waziristan and other border
But the extent of Bahadur's capabilities are unclear. Moreover,
Washington and domestic critics have urged Islamabad not to
distinguish between militant groups in the northwest, saying they
all ultimately pose a threat to the state regardless of their
temporary orientation.
Pakistan's army is currently focused on fighting the Pakistani
Taliban, which has declared war on the state and has carried out
hundreds of suicide attacks around the country. The army says it
doesn't have the capacity to tackle all the groups, and sees no
need to antagonize those factions that do not pose an immediate
threat to its troops.
But the arrangement is an uneasy one, and Washington a** which has
given the Pakistani army billions in aid since 2001 a** wants
action against Bahadur's group as well as the Afghan Taliban and
its allied factions like the Haqqanis, who are also based in North
Bahadur's men are often targeted by American drone-fired missiles,
which rain down on targets in North Waziristan every few days on
average. Pakistan's army publicly protests the strikes, but
privately assists in the targeting for at least some of them.
"Hundreds of our warriors have been martyred in the drone strikes
coordinated by the Pakistani government," Bahadur's statement
said. "We have been observing restraint. But now, the government,
acting on foreign instructions, is piling on the brutality against
our civilians."
Critics say that striking deals with militants in North Waziristan
is wrong given that all factions there a** including international
extremists affiliated with al-Qaida a** are allied with each other
and share resources, weapons and transport networks.
Key Road Reopened in Pakistan
November 8, 2011 | 2009 GMT
Regional officials in Pakistana**s Kurram agency announced the
reopening Oct. 29 of Parachinar-Thal road, which had been
effectively closed since at least 2007 due to fighting between
Sunni and Shiite tribesmen in the area and attacks by militants.
As the main transit route through Kurram agency, the road is
strategically significant. Forming a wedge of Pakistani territory
jutting into Afghanistan, Kurram agency in the past has been used
to project influence from the east into Afghanistan and
particularly Kabul a** which is only 100 kilometers (60 miles)
from the Pakistani border a** making its value to the Haqqani
network obvious. Both Parachinar and Thal are areas where the
Haqqani network and Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) are known to
operate safe-houses and use for logistics and training purposes,
and opening up the road would facilitate travel for the militants
between the two cities. Thus far, reports indicate that the Sunni
and Shiite tribesmen themselves appear to have initiated the
cease-fire agreement and allowed traffic on the road to resume. If
the Haqqanis had nothing to do with implementing the deal, the
tribesmen likely will not allow them greater movement along the
road a** thus making it possible that the Haqqanis will try to
close the road. If arrangements have been made between the Haqqani
network, TTP and the tribes in the region to allow the road to
stay open, then we will most likely see increased militant traffic
on this route. With the United States cracking down on the Haqqani
network in and around the Miran Shah area, the road through Kurram
could provide an alternative for militants seeking to cross
between Pakistan and Afghanistan.
Taliban must give up arms before talks - Pakistan
By Zeeshan Haider and Qasim Nauman
ISLAMABAD | Tue Oct 18, 2011 2:48pm IST
(Reuters) - Pakistan will only hold peace talks with Taliban
insurgents if they lay down their arms first, Interior Minister
Rehman Malik said on Tuesday, after both sides signalled
willingness to consider negotiations.
"The minimum agenda is that they give up arms and come forward and
then there will be talks. But if they think they will keep
Kalashnikovs in their hands and also hold talks, that will not
happen," he told reporters.
Both sides have indicated recently they were open to talks, but
analysts are sceptical the Taliban will ultimately agree.
"The government is saying accept the constitution and lay down
arms. But the militants have other aims. They want to take over,
gain power. They think negotiations are a joke," said security
analyst Mahmood Shah.
"How can you talk to groups that don't even respect the concept of
Pakistan, never mind laying down arms?"
The Tehrik-e-Taliban, or Taliban Movement of Pakistan (TTP), have
been waging a campaign of attacks including suicide bombings
across the South Asian nation since 2007 in a bid to topple the
U.S.-backed government.
A series of army offensives against Pakistani Taliban strongholds
along the rugged mountainous border with Afghanistan has failed to
contain the group, which is close to al Qaeda and is the biggest
security threat to Pakistan.
Any deals with the Taliban could anger Washington, which has been
pushing Pakistan to crack down harder on militant groups since
American special forces killed Osama bin Laden in May in a
Pakistani town, where he had apparently been living for years.
Ties between uneasy allies the United States and Pakistan have
been heavily strained since then.
Last year, the United States added the TTP to its list of foreign
terrorist organisations and set rewards of up to $5 million for
information leading to the capture of its leaders.
Past peace deals with the group failed to improve security, and
instead enabled it to build up strength and impose its harsh
version of Islam in areas ceded to it. Beheadings, public
executions and lashings were common.
Pakistan faces threats from multiple militant groups, whose
suicide bombings have kept foreign investors away from one of the
most unstable countries in the world.
It has yet to formulate strategies to deal with militants who
simply melt away to avoid army offensives, only to reappear
Pakistan said on Monday that Afghan and U.S-led forces had failed
to hunt down a Taliban cleric responsible for a spate of
cross-border raids despite repeated requests from Islamabad, a
complaint likely to deepen tension between the neighbours.
The attacks in which militants loyal to Maulvi Fazlullah took part
killed about 100 members of Pakistan's security forces, angering
the army which faces threats from multiple militant groups.
Fazlullah was the Pakistani Taliban leader in Swat Valley, about
100 miles (160 km) northwest of Islamabad, before a 2009 army
offensive forced him to flee.
Also known as FM Mullah for his fiery radio broadcasts, he
regrouped in Afghanistan and established strongholds, and poses a
threat to Pakistan once again, Pakistani army spokesman
Major-General Athar Abbas told Reuters on Monday.

Islamabad: The Haqqani network has started its efforts to push the
Tehrik-e-Taleban Pakistan (TTP) to negotiate a peace deal with the
Pakistan government.
A delegation of Pakistani tribal elders recently met Khalil
Haqqani, brother of Sirajudin Haqqani, in Paktia province of
eastern Afghanistan and requested him to use his influence to make
peace between anti-Pakistan and pro-Pakistan militants in North
Waziristan. These elders were worried about mounting pressure from
the US on Pakistan to start another operation in North Waziristan.
Khalil Haqqani first consulted Sirajudin Haqqani and then sent
messages to some TTP leaders not to fight against Pakistani
It is also learnt that the TTP leadership has yet not reached any
decision. TTP head Hakimullah Mehsud is reportedly hiding
somewhere in the Orakzai area. He is reluctant to trust the
Pakistani security establishment but has recently sent a message
to JUI leader Maulana Fazlur Rehman that "we can think of making
peace with the Pakistan Army but without surrendering."
Maulana Fazlur Rehman shared this offer with government officials
but the government wanted some mandate from opposition parties to
restart peace efforts with the TTP. Some elements in TTP do not

Waliur Rehman also supported a peace deal between Shi'i and Sunnis
of Kurram in February 2011 which was brokered by Haqqani Network.
Initially TTP opposed the efforts started by Khalil Haqqani
because some local TTP commanders in Kurram were involved in
crimes like kidnapping for ransom and they were not interested in
any peace deal.
Khalil Haqqani used an old confidant from Kurram, Fazal Saeed
Haqqani, as a bargaining chip and he parted ways with TTP. Fazal
Saeed Haqqani established his own group and expelled all criminals
from his area by force.
Pakistani security establishment also helped Fazal Saeed Haqqani
and the local elders successfully bargained a peace deal after a
decade long bloodshed. According to sources close to Sirajudin
Haqqani, Afghan intelligence was interfering in Kurram and has
provided arms to different tribes for fighting against each other.
When Haqqanis brokered a deal between the local tribes the Afghan
intelligence contacted Sirajudin Haqqani and offered him to become
part of the peace process initiated by President Hamed Karzai.
This scribe reported in this newspaper on Sunday that Karzai
recently approached Sirajudin and even offered him governorship of
Paktia. Sirajudin confirmed this information to BBC on Monday
evening and said that Afghan intelligence and Americans contacted
him many times. His confirmation will strengthen the impression in
Pakistan that the US started accusing Haqqani Network of attacking
its Embassy in Kabul after Haqqani's refusal to become part of the
peace process initiated by Washington and Kabul.
President Hamed Karzai suspended his talks with Taleban on
Saturday and landed in Delhi on Tuesday. His visit to India in the
current tense situation will raise many questions in Islamabad
where many people accuse India of using Afghan territory to
destabilise Balochistan and FATA.
Pakistani establishment is already disturbed over India's growing
influence in Afghanistan and now the reported contacts of Maulvi
Faqir Muhammad with India and Karzai's visit of India will create
more misunderstandings between Kabul and Islamabad.
Top government sources in Islamabad have clearly said that
Pakistan Army will not conduct any operation in North Waziristan
under any foreign pressure because it will create more enemies for
Pakistani state in FATA and Afghan intelligence will adopt these
enemies of Pakistan as their new sons like they adopted Maulvi
Faqir Muhammad.
Many analysts think that Pakistani establishment signed peace
deals with Taleban between 2004 and 2009 but there was no positive
result and any new peace deal will also fail but many people think
They think that most of the peace deals in the past were sabotaged
by US drone attacks. These deals were masterminded by security
establishment but this time political forces must take the lead.
Any future peace deal between TTP and the Pakistani government
could bring dividends only if it is approved by Parliament. Prime
Minister Gilani has openly said that he was prepared to talk with
Taleban and Haqqani Network but all those who gave him support on
September 29 in APC for talking to people in FATA have parted ways
within one week.

Clinton Pressing Pakistan for Joint Covert Action on Insurgents
October 24, 2011, 12:22 AM EDT
By Indira A.R. Lakshmanan
Oct. 24 (Bloomberg) -- Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said
Pakistan will suffer a**dire consequencesa** if it fails to
a**containa** terrorists operating from its soil, and it needs the
U.S. and Afghanistan to help get the job done.
The Obama administration isna**t asking Pakistana**s military to
occupy its rugged border regions, the base for extremist groups
that attack U.S., allied and Afghan forces on the other side,
Clinton said in an interview with Bloomberg News following two
days of meetings in Islamabad.
There are a**different ways of fighting besides overt military
action,a** she said.
Clinton said she pressed Pakistan to fully share intelligence with
U.S. forces in Afghanistan to prevent attacks and choke off money
and supply routes. Better coordination might prevent incidents
like the Sept. 20 assault on the American Embassy in Kabul, which
the U.S. blames on the Haqqani network, she said.
"We can go after funding. We can go after couriers,a**a** she said
she told Pakistani leaders.
Already strained ties with Pakistan were exacerbated by the U.S.
commando assault in May that killed al-Qaeda leader Osama bin
Laden near Islamabad. Clinton, along with CIA Director David
Petraeus and General Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff, met with Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani, General
Ashfaq Parvez Kayani, the Army Chief of Staff, and Ahmad Shuja
Pasha, head of the Inter-Services Intelligence Directorate.
Recent Cooperation
Clinton praised recent cooperation against al-Qaeda as a model for
how to crack down on the Haqqanis as well as the Taliban, based in
Pakistana**s southwestern city of Quetta.
a**Because of intelligence sharing and mutual cooperation, we have
targeted three of the top al-Qaeda operatives since bin Ladena**s
death. That could not have happened without Pakistani
cooperation,a** she said.
Pakistana**s political parties came together last month behind a
resolution to seek talks and a cease-fire with insurgents rather
than an all-out military assault. Pakistani Prime Minister Syed
Yousuf Raza Gilani urged the Americans a**to give peace a
chancea** before pressing his military for more, he said in a
Clinton said the U.S. message to Pakistan was that the same
insurgents who have launched lethal attacks against U.S. and
Afghan targets may unleash their violence inside Pakistan.
Clinton said she urged Pakistana**s leaders to take advantage of
the roughly 130,000-troop, U.S.-led NATO force next door in
Afghanistan while ita**s still there. The U.S. and NATO have begun
pulling out troops and plan to hand full security control to
Afghanistana**s government by the end of 2014.
a**Squeezea** Opportunity
In the coming months, forces from Pakistan and the coalition in
Afghanistan should a**squeezea** the Taliban and allied
extremists, such as the Haqqani network, which operate on both
sides of the border.
a**Therea**s no way that any government in Islamabad can control
these groups,a** Clinton said in the Oct. 22 interview, conducted
in Tajikistan as she wrapped up a seven-nation trip across the
Mideast and south-central Asia.
There is an a**opportunity, while we are still with 48 nations
across the border in Afghanistan, where we have a lot of assets
that we can put at their disposala** to help Pakistan.
The Pakistanis said they a**have to figure out a way to do it that
doesna**t cause chaosa** in their country, she recounted. She said
the U.S. and Pakistan agreed on a**90 to 95 percent of what needs
to be donea** and the two countries will work on what a**next
steps we take together.a**
Before retiring as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff last
month, Admiral Mike Mullen testified before Congress that the
Haqqani network is a a**veritable arma** of Pakistana**s spy
agency, sparking angry denials from Islamabad.
a**Enhanced Operationsa**
U.S. and Afghan troops have recently begun what they call
a**enhanced operationsa** against guerrillas in Afghanistana**s
Khost province, which abuts the Pakistani region where the Haqqani
network is based.
Asked if U.S. troops in Afghanistan will launch cross- border
attacks if Pakistan fails to act, Clinton replied, a**Therea**s a
lot going on that is aimed at these safe havens, and we will
continue to work with them on that.a**
Clinton also defended U.S. efforts of encourage the Afghans and
Pakistanis to seek negotiations to disarm militants.
Reconciliation efforts have gone nowhere since Clinton announced
the Obama administrationa**s support for talks early last year. A
Taliban agent posing as a peace envoy assassinated Afghanistana**s
chief peace negotiator, Burhanuddin Rabbani, on Sept. 13.
Negotiations are a**a bumpy processa** requiring a**patience and
persistence that wea**re willing to invest, in order to determine
whata**s real and whata**s not,a** she said.
Libya a**Score-Settlinga**
Before stopping in Afghanistan and Pakistan, Clinton visited Libya
Oct. 18, where she called on the rebels who ousted dictator
Muammar Qaddafi to refrain from vigilantism and
a**score-settlinga** and instead uphold the rule of law.
Asked why U.S. officials appeared to cheer the news of Qaddafia**s
death two days later, in light of video footage suggesting was
summarily executed after he was captured alive, Clinton denied
that the U.S. celebrated his death.
The Obama administration considers Qaddafia**s demise an opening
for Libya to start its transition to democracy, she said. She
praised the transitional government for pledging a full
investigation of his death.
a**It sends the right signal that we cana**t start on a path
toward democracy, rule of law, human rights without trying to
understand and hold accountable anyone who acted in a way that
violates those precepts,a** she said.
An autopsy confirmed yesterday that Qaddafi died from a gunshot
wound to the head, according to Libyaa**s chief pathologist, Dr.
Othman al-Zintani.
Iranian Plot
Asked about U.S. charges that Iran plotted to kill the Saudi
ambassador to Washington, Clinton said the U.S. has shared
evidence widely and is raising awareness of dangerous a**Iranian
interference in the internal affairs of many countries.a**
The U.S. for years has been raising the alarm about Irana**s
growing influence in a**Latin America, Africa, the Middle East,
Asia,a** where Iran has embassies staffed with spies and members
of the Quds force, which was implicated in the plot against the
Saudi ambassador, she said.
Until now, few considered Iran a danger to them, she said. The
U.S. can now say, a**No, guess what? It is about you,a** she said.
Clinton said therea**s no U.S. plan for punishing Iran beyond
sanctions. a**What we want to do is convince people that behavior
like this is why we need to enforce the sanctions we have,a** she

Pakistan Army plans to restrict Haqqani group movement at Afghan
border - paper
Text of report by Kamran Yousaf headlined "Pakistan looks to
restrict Haqqanis' movement" published by Pakistani newspaper The
Express Tribune website on 2 November
Islamabad: The United States, it seems, has been successful in
winning Pakistan's support to curtail the Haqqani network [an
Afghan insurgent group often reported to be operating out of
Pakistan's North Waziristan tribal area].
In what appears to be a significant development, the Pakistan Army
is planning measures to restrict the [Haqqani] network's movement
at the Afghan border as part of an understanding reached with the
At least two senior security officials confirmed that the military
has decided not only to restrict the movement of all militant
groups, including the deadliest Afghan Taleban insurgents, but
also deny them space within Pakistan's borders.
"We will play our part while coalition forces will stop
infiltration from across the border," said a Pakistani military
However, officials refused to divulge details of the plan and it
could not be independently verified since media does not have
access to border areas.
The move, if confirmed, will be seen as a departure from the
security establishment's years-old approach towards the Haqqanis.
Washington has long demanded that Pakistani military go after the
Haqqanis, believed to be operating from the Pak [Pakistan]-Afghan
borders areas in North Waziristan.
But this change on Pakistan's part does not mean the army will
directly confront the group, which the country believes will have
a vital role in any future political dispensation in Afghanistan.
These new border security measures are believed to be the result
of a deal that was struck between Islamabad and Washington during
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's recent visit to Pakistan.
Under the agreement, the US is no longer asking for a full-scale
military offensive against the Haqqani network in return for
Pakistan's commitment to 'take care' of the group by using means
other than an operation. This includes tightening border security
to keep a check on the movement of the Haqqanis and persuading
them to come to the negotiating table with the US.
Media reports emanating from Washington also indicate a new
approach by the Obama administration on the Haqqani network.
The New York Times quoted a senior US official as saying that
Clinton did not use her meeting to convince the Pakistani military
to mount an offensive to root out the Haqqanis and other militants
allegedly operating from sanctuaries in North Waziristan.
"Instead, the administration says, it is pressing the Pakistanis
to provide intelligence on the Haqqanis, arrest some of the
group's operatives and reduce ties to the terrorist group - all
steps well short of military action," the official said. "We're at
the point where Pakistanis have told us they're going to squeeze
the Haqqani network."
When approached, Inter-Services Public Relations Director-General
Maj-Gen Athar Abbas did not speak of any specific plan but
reiterated that Pakistan has a stated policy not to allow its
territory to be used against any third country, including

Pakistani military, Taliban deny peace deal
Peshawar, Pakistan - The Pakistani military and the Taliban on
Tuesday denied reports of peace talks and a ceasefire between the
two sides.
The reports first appeared in international media Monday,
referencing purported peace talks between the government and
insurgent Taliban, noting a statement attributed to a Taliban
commander associated with Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP).
In the reports, the Taliban source sought anonymity, but claimed
Tuesday that a ceasefire with the Taliban had been observed since
Suicide attacks have been on the decrease for almost two months,
and lessening in scope, with militants focusing on selected
targets, mainly officers and tribal elders who took part in
operations against them.
But it had not been clear if this shift was due to the increasing
capacity of security forces or a clandestine agreement.
A military spokesperson on Tuesday said that the army was not
undertaking any kind of negotiations with the TTP or its
affiliated militant groups.
'Such reports are concocted, baseless and unfounded,' he said.
'Any contemplated negotiation/reconciliation process with militant
groups has to be done by the government,' the spokesperson said.
Top TTP spokesman Ihasnullah Ihsan also denied the reports
But there was confusion among the officials. Interior Minister
Rehman Malik said that his government would welcome the ceasefire
if it was real.

Trained as a sculptor, David Yurman approaches the design of a piece of jewelry from every angle. "It's about the whole piece," he says. "How it feels in your hand, how it looks on the back as well as the front." He combines shape and form to create designs with volume and dimension—wearable sculpture. "Form is form," he explains, "whether it hangs on a wall, goes on a pedestal, goes on a wrist, or goes on a neck. Learning how to balance a little sculpture on a stand is really no different from learning how to balance a stone on the end of a bracelet."
The Crossover Collection explores the rhythmic weaving of line to create form and movement. Using a dynamic range of smooth and cabled cords, the individual strands are meticulously entwined. Artists explore consistent themes, rivers that run through the body of their work. For David Yurman, the integration of one form into another creates his distinctive artistic style.

streaky, defective - 7/23/2013 6:45:09 AM There is no quality control of this product. The first product I had was good. The 2nd time I ordered, I had a streaky, oily product and returned it. I thought I would try again this time, and again, the product was streaky, runny and discolored. Worse still, it looked like used and half empty. I didn't open the package till weeks later and had thrown away the packing slip as wanted to finish my Peter Thomas Roth eyecream first. Alas, what an utter disappointment. Am trying to return but not sure how sticky SkinStore is about timelines. Surely a product , esp eye product of this price point, should come plastic wrapped to ensure it hasn't been opened and can better ensure product quality control !good news vs bad news - 1/10/2012 7:47:06 AM i loved the product, unfortunately after using it for just a few days my face and neck broke out in a fine rash, where ever the product had touched. i've never had that problem with a product before. so, i returned all of it for a refund.Way too expensive, not great product - 12/22/2011 9:31:14 AM I bought this item when it was deeply discounted. I have been quite disappointed. While I do prefer a jar (which this is), the product goes on rather heavy and shiny, and does not absorb well. It makes my concealer get very clumpy. So I cannot use it during the day. There are MUCH better eye products than this...Very nice - 11/9/2010 4:45:49 AM This is a great eye cream. It is a super smooth, works fabulous under makeup, and hydrates the area. No difference in current lines, but this seems to me more of a maintenance item that keeps you looking the same while you use it.- 10/26/2010 7:18:23 PM I am 52 years old.I have good skin, but my sekret is i am not saiving money on my skin. I spoiling my skin with the best product i can find on the market. Las year was a promotion on M lab product and i purchsed this cream. It is the best cream i ever had skin under my eyes looks absolutely smooth, no puffines, or dark sirkles under my eyes. Thank you for this amiazing product.Love it - 8/30/2010 9:18:02 AM I have been using the MLab eye cream, cleanser, toner and the SPF moisturizer. My skin hasn't looked this good since my teenage years. Even tone, soft and smooth, and my fine lines are very minimal. Not bad for 43 year old skin. :) I highly recommend these products. Their pricey but worth the money.A KEEPER - 8/15/2010 9:30:12 AM I also didn't want it to work due to price but it does. I will keep using it and rotate with the other eye care products that work for me as TNS Night Eye Repair,Prevage,Elastiderm ,Kinerase restructure firming eye cream referred by staff,and Eye Youth. I switch off depending on eye care needs and if wearing make up. All of the above products work the best for me short of an invasive procedure,and I have tried many more. I think the eye care product is a good test of how the rest of the line will work for you.it really works - 5/26/2010 8:12:07 PM Yes, this eye cream is VERY expensive, but it is worth it. I have tried many creams trying to get rid of under eye crepeiness, fine lines and crows feet. I also have some dark circles due to allergies. I was really surprised to find that this cream actually works. Very well.Not worth the money - 5/24/2010 6:03:20 PM I have used this product for the past few months day and night. There is absolutely no difference in fine lines whatsoever. It does moisturize but that's all. Save your money on this one. Obagi Elastiderm is much better and half the cost.Wonderful WinterTime Cleanser! - 2/2/2010 4:34:53 PM This cleanser is very effective and yet manages to be very gentle. My skin is clean and refreshed and smooth. This product is not drying. Very important in a cold, harsh winter! -
Learn More About M Lab
Specializing in the demanding field of anti-aging cosmeceuticals, M Lab has garnered a worldwide reputation as the source of some of the most effective formulas for skin care. The company was founded in 1980 as Milbar Laboratories, which operates a FDA/OTC (Food and Drug Administration over the counter) registered manufacturing facility in East Haven, Connecticut. From its inception, the philosophy of M Lab was to challenge its researchers to create the most effective, original anti-aging formulations in the world. Their approach has been to design skin care products which use an extraordinarily high number and level of clinically active ingredients, to provide the body with the necessary means of repair, rejuvenation and aging prevention.
These products are designed to help minimize the appearance of visible lines and wrinkles, even out skin discoloration, smooth texture, maintain hydration and firm sagging skin. The formulas are designed for all types of skin - dry, oily and combination - and all complexions, for both women and men. Unlike many of their competitors, who may use only minimal amounts of certain anti-aging ingredients just to be able to list them in their formulas, M Lab demands that its products utilize materials that have been tested and proven to be effective, and at levels of concentration to provide observable benefits. The safety of the ingredients and formulas are also of the highest importance, but M Lab does not perform animal testing or source ingredients from suppliers who test on animals; they fully support the development and global acceptance of non-animal testing protocols.

Blame it on the bullpen
milwaukee brewers June 26th, 2012
I will not admit that this Brewers season is over because we're probably going to see a NL Wild Card that wins 85 games and that number does not seem impossible and I will not give up on the Brewers season because, seriously, what else am I going to do for the next three months? With that being said I will say that this season has still been incredibly disappointing, no fun and not at all what we thought it would be. But what did we really think it would be?
Vegas set the Brewers pre-season over/under win total at 84.5. They weren't ever going to be a team that ran away with the division. Did last season's 96-66 record distort our expectations? Probably, but we should always remember that team had +6 wins over it's Pythagorean record (or expected record) and was a league best 30-18 in one run games. Those are two things that are really hard to repeat. For the Brewers to make a return trip to the playoffs this year they once again need a lot of things to go right and thus far this season almost nothing has. This isn't a lack of "drive" or a team that doesn't "mentally have it", this is baseball. You play more games than any other sport and less teams make the playoffs than any other sport. A lot has to go right for any team to succeed.
Thus far they haven't succeeded and a lot of reasons have been thrown around as to why. Here are a few of the most popular:
- Rickie Weeks.
- Injuries, man. Injuries.
- Not clutch.
- Offense is worse than last season.
- Randy Wolf.
- The bullpen.
And while there have been a myriad of problems with this season there really is only one thing that has kept the Brewers from being "in it" and that thing is the bullpen. No, seriously, it's not Rickie Weeks. It's the bullpen. It's not injuries. It's the bullpen. That's it. Seriously. Read the rest of this entry »

Time to lighten the mood in here.
At long last, someone has drawn upon the power of helium to solve one of the greatest cryptozoological mysteries that nobody gives a damn about.
At the risk of taking this seriously, I have to wonder why he's going with this gigantic, dual-blimp design instead of something more like a drone. Seems too big, expensive, and overly-experimental. And what is it really supposed to accomplish?
Let's face it: … Read more

Backgammon is said to be one of the oldest games in the world. In this article, Jochen Blath and Peter Mörters discuss one particularly interesting aspect of the game - the doubling cube. They show how a model using Brownian motion can help a player to decide when to double or accept a double.
Knots crop up all over the place, from tying a shoelace to molecular structure, but they are also elegant mathematical objects. Colin Adams asks when is a molecule knot a molecule? and what happens if you try to build a knot out of sticks?
A question which has been vexing astronomers for a long time is whether the forces of attraction between stars and galaxies will eventually result in the universe collapsing back into a single point, or whether it will expand forever with the distances between stars and galaxies growing ever larger. Toby O'Neil describes how the mathematical theory of dimension gives us a way of
approaching the question.
Chomp is a simple two-dimensional game, played as follows. |
Adam Smith is often thought of as the father of modern economics. In his book "An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations" Smith decribed the "invisible hand" mechanism by which he felt economic society operated. Modern game theory has much to add to Smith's description.
Until you understand the basics of functions and algebra, the thought that a number can be predicted is a surprising one. And of course `magic' and `being surprised' are often the same thing. Rob Eastaway shows us how mathemagicians trade off the fact that you can usually predict precisely the outcome of doing something in mathematics, but only if you know the secret beforehand.

The great Brazilian novelist's comic masterpiece—published in a new translation for the centennial of Jorge Amado's birth
Here is the story of Joaquim Soares da Cunha, a Falstaff-like character who abandons his life of upstanding citizenship to assume the identity of Quincas Water-Bray, king of the Bahia lowlife and a "champion drunk." After a decade of revelry among bums, pimps, and prostitutes, he drops dead, and his prim family gathers for a proper burial. But when Quincas's unsavory friends show up with a bottle of rum, they whisk him along on a postmortem journey to enjoy one last party—his own wake.

A recent global index shows the U.S. on the outside looking in of the world's most prosperous countries. The 2012 Legatum Prosperity Index shows the trio of Scandinavian countries—Norway, Denmark and Sweden—at the top of the list while the U.S. has fallen out of the top 10 for the first time.
At the Global Entrepreneurial Summit (GES) in Dubai last week, it was clear to me that there is a new level of engagement in developing more entrepreneurial economies at the highest levels of government in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. The summit, a collaboration between the U.A.E. Prime Minister's office and the Obama Administration, was an effort to leverage U.S. strengths in high growth entrepreneurship. Now that the summit is over, we take a look at the challenges before policymakers in the region in making the path easier for even more nascent entrepreneurs to succeed in the future.
With the holiday season approaching, almost all eyes in Congress are on the fiscal cliff deadline that is now only two weeks ahead. A recent proposal from House Speaker John Boehner with a couple of key concessions have led to a cautious optimism that a deal will be in place before long. In the meantime, the committee hearings schedule on Capitol Hill is quiet on the entrepreneurship front.
Each day, Innovation Daily checks the pulse of global innovation--courtesy of Innovation America. Here, we take a look at a handful of relevant stories it compiled last week.
This year has afforded me the opportunity to visit dozens of nations and talk with their entrepreneurs. One nation remained elusive to me. In 2011, Thailand participated for the first time in Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW) and I was keen to visit in either 2011 or 2012, but despite good faith efforts, I have been unable to make it there, mostly due to the likes of tragic flooding, the worst in 50 years last year for the country. So I turn today to virtual research.
As fiscal cliff talks continue amid mutual claims of 'distrust' from both parties, other discussions continue on Capitol Hill. The five FCC commissioners are scheduled to appear before the House Committee on Energy & Commerce this week to discuss spectrum auctions and other efforts to meet the soaring demand for wireless broadband services. The auctions were part of the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012 and originated in the House Energy and Commerce Committee as Chairman Walden's Jumpstarting Opportunity with Broadband Spectrum (JOBS) Act. Other hearings cover the future of NASA, tax incentives to promote energy efficiency and small business recovery efforts following Hurricane Sandy.
The Board of Trustees of the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation last week announced the election of Thomas A. McDonnell as the Foundation's new president and chief executive officer. McDonnell, an experienced business leader with a track record of building global organizations that are both innovative and philanthropic, recently stepped down as CEO of DST Systems, Inc. He has been a Kauffman trustee since 2003 and chairman of the board since 2006. McDonnell succeeds Carl Schramm, who served as the Foundation's president and CEO from 2002 to 2011. Since January of this year, Kauffman trustee Benno Schmidt has served as interim CEO while the board conducted a national search for a new leader.
Massachusetts is still the top state in the country when it comes to the new economy, according to the latest State New Economy Index from the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation. The report is the sixth in the series from ITIF with previous indexes published in 1999, 2002, 2007, 2008 and 2010. Massachusetts has claimed the top spot in each year.
