The internet is abuzz with the document drop at Wikileaks. We’ve been giving Pakistan $1 billion a year in aid, and in return… they’ve been helping our enemies kill our troops. Smart diplomacy, people. Smart diplomacy.

Americans fighting the war in Afghanistan have long harbored strong suspicions that Pakistan’s military spy service has guided the Afghan insurgency with a hidden hand, even as Pakistan receives more than $1 billion a year from Washington for its help combating the militants, according to a trove of secret military field reports made public Sunday.

The documents, made available by an organization called WikiLeaks, suggest that Pakistan, an ostensible ally of the United States, allows representatives of its spy service to meet directly with the Taliban in secret strategy sessions to organize networks of militant groups that fight against American soldiers in Afghanistan, and even hatch plots to assassinate Afghan leaders.

Taken together, the reports indicate that American soldiers on the ground are inundated with accounts of a network of Pakistani assets and collaborators that runs from the Pakistani tribal belt along the Afghan border, through southern Afghanistan, and all the way to the capital, Kabul.

Much of the information — raw intelligence and threat assessments gathered from the field in Afghanistan— cannot be verified and likely comes from sources aligned with Afghan intelligence, which considers Pakistan an enemy, and paid informants. Some describe plots for attacks that do not appear to have taken place.

But many of the reports rely on sources that the military rated as reliable.

While current and former American officials interviewed could not corroborate individual reports, they said that the portrait of the spy agency’s collaboration with the Afghan insurgency was broadly consistent with other classified intelligence.

There are even allegations that Pakistani intelligence is working alongside Al Qaeda to plan attacks. And Pakistan has allegedly been allowing Al Qaeda terrorists to cross the border into Pakistan safely, refusing to fire on or arrest them.

The White House has swiftly chimed in to dismiss the leaks as irresponsible.

White House National Security Adviser James Jones issued a statement that begins: “The United States strongly condemns the disclosure of classified information by individuals and organizations which could put the lives of Americans and our partners at risk, and threaten our national security.

“Wikileaks made no effort to contact us about these documents – the United States government learned from news organizations that these documents would be posted. These irresponsible leaks will not impact our ongoing commitment to deepen our partnerships with Afghanistan and Pakistan; to defeat our common enemies; and to support the aspirations of the Afghan and Pakistani people.

“The documents posted by Wikileaks reportedly cover a period of time from January 2004 to December 2009. On December 1, 2009, President Obama announced a new strategy with a substantial increase in resources for Afghanistan, and increased focus on al Qaeda and Taliban safe-havens in Pakistan, precisely because of the grave situation that had developed over several years.”

An administration official went further in an e-mail to reporters: “I don’t think anyone who follows this issue will find it surprising that there are concerns about ISI and safe havens in Pakistan. In fact, we’ve said as much repeatedly and on the record.”

Here’s a question: if the White House has all of these security concerns with Pakistan, then why are we paying them $1 billion a year?? We’re basically funding Pakistan’s collusion with the Taliban and Al-Qaeda.

Of course, these are despicable acts by Wikileaks that shouldn’t be applauded. They take pride in releasing classified documents that do nothing but jeopardize the mission in Afghanistan. And there are some curiosities about the documents, as Jammie Wearing Fool points out.

The last thing I observed is I find it funny that there were no jokes, no reports of successful actions or heroic acts being reported as being contained in the documents. Don’t you think that in 90,000 pages there would be at least account of bravery or a successful turn around in a village or completion of a civics project like a school or a hospital?

We may not be able to completely trust Wikileaks, but it doesn’t mean that we should trust Pakistan… or be giving them $1 billion a year. Pakistan undoubtedly has some ties to terrorism, and just last week Hillary Clinton accused them of knowing where bin Laden is. This was the day after she had promised even more aid to Pakistan. The document drop from Wikileaks isn’t anything new or shocking. The Washington Post reports that there are three main things to take from this: that Pakistan’s intel forces are continuing to support the Taliban, that the war is under resourced, and that the Taliban has heat-seeking missiles capable of attacking our helicopters. (What, you mean that NATO helicopters haven’t just been crashing out of thin air?! Shocking!) None of the news in the Wikileaks document dump is particularly new, but it begs the question: why are we giving our enemies money?? Once upon a time, that would have been called treason.

What will it take for the Obama administration to do something about Pakistan — and finally do what it takes to win this war in Afghanistan?
