Yesterday, listening briefly to an excerpt of the confirmation hearings for the lieutenant general who is the Obama administration's nominee for ambassador to Afghanistan, I took particular note of his acknowledgment that Pakistan's security service, the ISI, has an "ambiguous" relation with the Taliban. Was this fairly standard diplo-speak or a way of saying "we aren't really sure," or both?
Update (added 3/28): Adm. Mullen and Gen. Petraeus have spoken recently on ISI links with Taliban and al-Qaeda.
