Seriously, Pakistan?
Pakistan has removed thousands of names from its terrorist watch list in what the country says is an effort to meet its obligations ahead of a new round of assessments by [the Financial Action Task Force,] a global anti-money-laundering watchdog.
The so-called proscribed persons list, which is maintained by Pakistan’s National Counter Terrorism Authority, or NACTA, is intended in part to help financial institutions avoid doing business with or processing transactions of suspected terrorists.
If Pakistan gets away with this to avoid sanctions for failing to block terrorists from getting financing, we're making a big mistake.
Pakistan is our "black sheep" ally that risks support from America because of its support for "friendly" terrorists.
If Iran is ever friendly allowing for a land line of supply to Afghanistan, we'll have no reason to look the other way as much as we have in regard to Pakistan.
