Holbrooke Says Taliban Money Will Be Traced to Its Sources – NYTimes.com
Source: www.nytimes.com

“Identifying the sources of money for the Taliban has been one of the most elusive goals for the United States since Sept. 11, 2001, but the task is central to the American war effort in Afghanistan, and to fighting militancy in Pakistan. But American officials have had limited success.”

“We want to focus on where the money really comes from,” Mr. Holbrooke said. “I will be adding a member of the Treasury Department to my staff within two weeks so we can focus more heavily on this area.”

That new staff member? MY NEPHEW!!!! WOOT!

   Dang! That ought to keep you floating and gloating for a long, long time. (Both of which are totally appropriate.)

   Very cool.
