The relationship between Pakistan and the CIA is, and has been, about as radioactive as it could possibly be. Everything it touches becomes toxic and deadly. See Steve Coll, “Ghost Wars” and “Descent into Chaos”, and Tim Weiner, “Legacy of Ashes”. And yet these games go on and on, to the benefit of no one. Elected representatives seem incapable and/or unwilling to do anything about, and so the death and destruction goes on and on. This story simply shows that not much has changed on the playing field. I can’t decide if this is tragedy or farce.

It's both, it's called US Foreign Policy.
