Pakistan Aids Insurgency in Afghanistan, Reports Assert
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/26/world/asia/26isi.html?_r=1

This article is by Mark Mazzetti, Jane Perlez, Eric Schmitt and Andrew W. Lehren.

Americans fighting the war in Afghanistan have long harbored strong suspicions that Pakistan’s military spy service has guided the Afghan insurgency with a hidden hand, even as Pakistan receives more than $1 billion a year from Washington for its help combating the militants, according to a trove of secret military field reports to be made public Sunday.

1. Of course it does.
Pakistan doesn't want a strong Afghanistan right next door. They already have enough problems. So the whole thing is good for them.

3. I loved your line.
It literally made me laugh out loud.

I just didn't realize it was all that complicated! ;)
