From the Daily Pilot:
Two foreign policy experts at UC Irvine have questioned the wisdom of Rep. Dana Rohrabacher's
sponsorship of a House bill that would end U.S. financial aid to Pakistan. But the
Republican Costa Mesa congressman stood by his proposal, saying he feels that Islamabad
is not a trustworthy ally because Osama bin Laden was able to hide in Pakistan. In
interviews with the Daily Pilot, UCI professors Mark LeVine and Cecelia Lynch suggested
that cutting aid to the South Asian linchpin in the U.S. war against terrorism could
be an unwise move that undermines American security in the region.
