Pakistans deports author of NYT Mag article “Next-Gen Taliban”


I read the article written by Nicholas Schmidle and published in last Sunday’s New York Times Magazine.  But this is just nuts:

Some believe that Schmidle’s article antogonized Pakistani government officials because he conducted interviews in Quetta where the Taliban are operating in full public. These sources suggest that Pakistan government authorities want to limit exposure to the fact that they have done nothing to shut down the Taliban in Quetta and/or are turning a blind eye to the Taliban’s operations theres.

I’d say, how can our country prop them up, support them, give them our military and our millions and our munitions, except that I feel the same way about many other relations maintained by the Bush Administration.

Hattip to Amy Gahran who Twittered it.
