multitude of fronts, with al-Qaida at the top of the list. Nearly seven years after 9/11, its media outreach programme broadcasts messages on the airwaves and the internet, attempting to radicalise unaffiliated sympathisers into violent action. Regional groups in Iraq, Algeria and elsewhere place themselves under its brand in an effort to magnify their importance and gain funding as terrorist franchises. The threat from al-Qaida is diffuse, but US and foreign intelligence agencies have reached a strikingly unanimous conclusion that the core organisational leadership has re-formed itself.</p> <p>Its location? Pakistan.</p> <p>Al-Qaida has, in the words of the US director for national intelligence's February 2008 Annual Threat Assessment, "retained or regenerated key elements of its capability, including top leadership, operational mid-level lieutenants and de facto safe haven in Pakistan's border area with Afghanistan". Top officials at the CIA, state department and Joint Chiefs of Staff have all echoed this assessment in recent months. And under questioning from the Senate armed services committee at his confirmation hearing for the position of Centcom commander, which carries responsibility for Afghanistan and Pakistan as well as Iraq, General David Petraeus finally added his voice to this warning chorus as well. CAP Senior Fellow Brian Katulis, author of THE PROSPERITY AGENDA, traveled to Pakistan recently and brought back this video report.</p> </div> <a href="/blog/43169-pakistan-the-prosperity-agenda-cap-s-katulis">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/34531-mccain-s-plan-100-years-in-iraq-cap-s-katulis-on-hardball 2008-08-04T08:49:24Z seeprogress <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Ppdx40Zh80A&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Ppdx40Zh80A&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/34531-mccain-s-plan-100-years-in-iraq-cap-s-katulis-on-hardball"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/37682" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>http://www.americanprogress.org/issues/2008/03/resurging_violence.html</p> <p>Center for American Progress Senior Fellow Brian Katulis joined Chris Matthews on MSNBC's Hardball to discuss the state of Iraq and the plans for Iraq put forward by Senator John McCain. </p> <p>www.AMERICANPROGRESS.org</p> </div> <a href="/blog/34531-mccain-s-plan-100-years-in-iraq-cap-s-katulis-on-hardball">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/12560-bush-speech-on-iraq-surge-march-is-the-new-september 2008-09-29T02:22:14Z seeprogress <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/i8trZjFTfXU&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/i8trZjFTfXU&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/12560-bush-speech-on-iraq-surge-march-is-the-new-september"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/12662" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>The Center for American Progress sets the facts straight in advance of President Bush&#39;s speech to the nation September 13, 2007 on the troop surge policy in Iraq.
