World: The U.S. throwing more money into Pakistan’s military coffers
- $2 billion to come from the U.S. to the Pakistani army source
- » As a point of comparison: The U.S. has given Pakistan $7.5 billion in aid to the country otherwise – much of it aid in the wake of the country’s recent flooding, along with for civilian projects. Unlike those projects, this does court some controversy, because (according to the White House’s own reports on the matter) Pakistan’s army has reportedly committed gross human rights violations in their anti-terrorism efforts.
