In a webcast on Friday, May 7, at 1:00 p.m., Frederick W. Kagan, AEI resident scholar and director of the Critical Threats Project, and the Critical Threats Project team will discuss the Times Square attack and the Pakistani Taliban.

The Obama administration has endangered the United States by stopping the interrogation techniques that could protect the country from terrorist threats.

Killing the world's most wanted terrorist will not be enough to fundamentally change the nature of the battle against terrorism or eradicate the cancer from Pakistan. That will only be possible once Pakistan itself decides to fundamentally change the way it governs itself and pursues its national interest.

The Tehrik-e Taliban Pakistan is now an officially designated terrorist organization, a status that will make it easier to prosecute individuals involved with the organization.

The obvious truth is that the United States is under attack from terrorists motivated by a radical form of Islam, but many leaders are reluctant to acknowledge that fact.

The Supreme Court's new ruling on Miranda rights may ease the burdens on the American military, intelligence, and police, and give the Obama administration more flexibility to fight terrorism within the criminal-justice paradigm.

Pakistan is at a crossroads. With the massacre of scores of security forces in an apparent retaliatory attack by militants, and US demands for tougher action against al Qaeda and the Taliban, room for Pakistan to play both sides of the war on terror is rapidly shrinking. The big questions raised by this watershed moment may force Islamabad into making existential choices.

Combating terrorists in Pakistan's borderlands was hard enough, but now the Obama administration must take actions to prevent Pakistan from evading U.S. and international pressure to attack the terrorist cancer eating away at Punjab, the nation's must populated province.
