Unfortunately today's CIA droning to death of the Pak Taliban's No 2 (Wali ur Rahman) has complicated matters. He was a pragmatic voice, who opposed suicide attacks in Pakistan (though not in Afghanistan) and who believed in and was ready to negotiate with the "new" Govt in Pak (govt not yet finalized)I-- has led to the Pak Taliban TTP suspending talks with the "new" Govt. This will delay polio-related talks with them, as I was working behind the scenes to get the "new" Govt to include polio issues in their negotiations with TTP. Just for your info. I am sure developments on the ground (accompanied by new suicide attacks) will bring TTP back to talking to the "new" Govt at some point. But we should count on a delay.
