Very cool - STRATFOR is doing short video clips on national security subjects. Interestingly, STRATFOR doesn't buy the idea that AQ was coming out of Pakistan to conduct "Mumbai-style" terrorist attacks on European and US cities, which was the basis for the CIA to send in additional drones to knock out AQ planning cells in Pakistan. Significantly, STRATFOR says that the basis for this belief is one man captured by US security forces in Kabul. The "single source report" had no other corroborating data to reflect such a plot was underway.
You of course remember the last time the US government acted upon a "single source report." This video is a good, sensible and brief report on a point that the rest of the MSM seems to have overlooked. Hat tip to Spencer Ackerman.
Nice.
I've also book-marked Stratfor for further consideration.
Thank you for the source, J.
