Writing at the Daily Beast a few days ago, Philip Shenon (formerly an investigative reporter at the New York Times) had a scoop that deserves wider attention. According to Shenon, a “senior federal law enforcement official” told him that the Obama administration has sent a “clear, if carefully worded warning” to Pakistani leaders. The Pakistanis were warned, according to Shenon, “that their own children and others relatives, as well as their subordinates in the government, should be scrutinized for possible terrorist ties.”
