Terrorist haven?

So Pakistan says it isn’t harboring Taliban and Al Qaeda elements, but here’s a fact from USA Today that is a little hard to overlook:

But in a sign that insurgents are crossing from Pakistan to fight in Afghanistan, the bodies of 25 militants killed in a fierce battle with NATO were repatriated Friday to their tribal villages in Pakistan, where Taliban activists urged mass attendance at their funerals, residents said.

I’m not suggesting we should add Pakistan to the list of countries we are at war with, but the facts on the ground need to be recognized, and they need to be pressured diplomatically, and we shouldn’t just be blindly supporting Musharraf.

The truth is that we never had proof that bin Laden was in Afghanistan after the 9/11 attacks. He may have been in Pakistan then and he may still be there now.
