  Check out "Manhunting: Reversing the Polarity of Warfare." (ISBN 1-60441-332-8). This book makes similar case that we have to revamp a national security structure designed for the middle of the 20th Century. The author makes a really compelling case for a new national security doctrine...and tells how to go about setting up the capability to find, influence, capture or kill terrorists and other violent extremists. The book says we could do this at a fraction of the cost for the current War on Terrorism. Sounds like a presidential candidate's dream strategy...

  CORRECT !! Why are we asking Pakistan's Intelligence Service permission to do what they do not want to do ? Stupid politics again, we don't need to ask. Let our boys ( CIA and US Military Spec Ops ) do their thing in North Waziristan, clean house and maybe kill OBL at the same time.
