Rumsfeld said that we were slow to team up with the Northern Alliance because we did not want arm them before we formed a relationship with them. Very wise. I think Pakistani officials have given our officials a heads up on everything there is to know about the Northern Alliance. They don't like them. And NA does not like Pakistan. I have seen the NA's spokesman, Heron Amin, on TV numerous times. He is totally reassuring that the NA is trustworthy. He seems very direct and credible. If he's lying, he is very, very good at it.
