I want to quote from The New York Times. You can understand how serious this debate is. The Times said, ``But the most alarming of the reports'' relating to WikiLeaks ``were the ones that described the cynical collusion between Pakistan's military intelligence service and the Taliban. Despite the billions of dollars the United States has sent in aid to Pakistan since September 11, they offer powerful new evidence that crucial elements of Islamabad's power structure have been actively helping to direct and support the forces attacking the American-led military coalition.''
