CBN's Erick Stakelbeck has produced an excellent report on the situation in Waziristan. Erick interviewed Daveed Gartenstein-Ross and me, as well as Pakistani Ambassador Mahmud Ali Durrani. Mr. Durrani continues to cling to the Pakistani party line that the Waziristan Accord is a positive development, despite the mountain of evidence showing the Taliban have repeatedly violated the agreements by setting up parallel administration via opening offices and establishing sharia courts, continues to send Taliban and al Qaeda into Afghanistan and conducting targeted assassinations.

Erick has a written report available online, along with embedded video of the television segment.

There will be a follow up report on Somalia on Thursday. The best place to catch the Somalia program is on the ABC Family Channel at 9 am and 11 pm (replay). Times are Eastern Daylight Time.
