President Bush leaves President-elect Obama broad latitude for covert action in countries with which the United States is not at war, powers that Obama could scale back along with other Bush presidential orders now under consideration for rescinding. But he's not likely to do that. Obama already has telegraphed his willingness to exercise those powers if he deems them necessary. Obama said in an August speech that he would target high-value terrorists in Pakistan without that government's permission. "If we have actionable intelligence about high-value terrorist targets and if President Musharraf won't act, we will," Obama said, referring to Pakistan's president. Musharraf since has been replaced by President Asif Ali Zardari. Rescinding blanket orders would limit Obama's flexibility and proscribe the ability of U.S. intelligence and military forces to capture or kill wanted terrorists, a U.S. military official told The Associated Press on Monday. The official spoke anonymously in order to discuss sensitive intelligence matters. That authority is derived, at least in part, from National Security Presidential Directive 9, signed in October 2001. The contents of the document are secret, but in 2004 the White House acknowledged that it allowed the defense secretary to plan for military options "against Taliban targets in Afghanistan, including leadership, command-control, air and air defense, ground forces, and logistics." The NSPD ...

2008-11-07 PAKISTANIS HOPE U.S. UNDER OBAMA WILL BE LESS BOSSY ISLAMABAD ( Reuters ) - Barack Obama's victory fostered hopes in Pakistan that the United States would become less overbearing towards its ally in the war on terrorism, and nurture the country's recent return to civilian-led democracy. "I think he will understand that the use of brute force alone creates more enemies and widens the zone of conflict," Talat Masood, a retired Pakistani general turned analyst, said. "I think he will put greater emphasis on developing civilian capacities," he added, pointing to a bill proposed by Obama's Vice President-elect Joe Biden to provide Pakistan with a multi-billion dollar "democracy dividend" package. Under Pakistan's previous leader, former army chief Pervez Musharraf, most U.S. aid went to Pakistan's military. Musharraf quit in August, and his successor, President Asif Ali Zardari, has inherited an economy in danger of meltdown. Relations between the United States and nuclear-armed Pakistan have been strained by a series of cross-border U.S. strikes, most by missile-firing pilotless drone aircraft, on militant targets in Pakistan. The strikes have hardened anti-American sentiment in Pakistan at a time when the coalition government is trying to build popular support for its own campaign against Islamist militancy. Samina Ahmed, South Asia project director for International Crisis Group, believed Obama's victory would lead to a make-o ...
