Teresita Schaffer, director of the CSIS South Asia Program, was interviewed for National Public Radio's All Things Considered, "Pakistan's Inaction Frustrates U.S. Terror Officials."
Until recently, Bush Administration officials were highlighting Iraq as the "central front" in the war on terrorism, but concern has recently shifted toward the Pakistan-Afghanistan border.
Earlier this month, the top two U.S. intelligence officials visited Pakistan in an effort to get the government there to allow a stronger role for the CIA in carrying out secret operations against al-Qaida in the border area. But the Pakistanis resisted the request, and administration officials say they're growing "frustrated" that U.S. forces aren't allowed to do more.
