 Question:
The leaking of official intelligence documents by the editor of Wikileaks has caused great concern for the Obama administration, particularly over its strategy in pursuing the war in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Do the leaks represent a major threat to Obama's war efforts in these countries? Can you also explain David Cameron's remarks in this regard?

 From our correspondent in Pakistan
The floods in Pakistan have
made the sorry lives of those affected a lot more desperate. The
government's response can only be described as inept, incompetent and
contemptible. If truth be told, the poverty stricken never really
expected or indeed received much from government - democratic or
military - in any case.

 As July ended and August began, during the monsoon seasons of Pakistan, heavy rains caused rivers and lakes to burst their banks, dams to be overwhelmed by the sheer weight of water, sending great flash floods which swept away the houses, bridges, roads and electricity power lines in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Baluchistan and Southern Punjab, with Charsadda, Nowshera, Peshawar, Mardan, Swabi, Swat and Shangla included amongst the worst hit areas. Thousands have been drowned and hundreds of thousands are now under the bare sky, starving and thirsty, now facing death through waterborne diseases of the stomach, such as cholera and typhoid.
