Steve Coll's Testimony To Congress On Pakistan
As always with him, it's smart, balanced and well-reasoned. Check it out.
Fuck your parliament and your constitution…we pay a lot of good American dollars to the Greeks, Mr. Ambassador. If your prime minister gives me talk about democracy, parliament and constitution, he, his parliament and his constitution may not last long.

If you haven't already, I highly recommend reading 'On the Grand Trunk Road' and 'Ghost Wars' by our man.
He also blogs here:

And you're absolutely right - he's one of the few American journalists that is balanced, thorough, and insightful (without being a sensationalist) with regards to South Asia.

I've read On the Grand Trunk Road recently and thoroughly enjoyed it. Ghost Wars is on my radar too, will get to it when I find the time.
