A classified NATO report called “The State of the Taliban 2012,” which is a summary of the views of captured Taliban fighters based on “27,000 interrogations of 4,000 Taliban prisoners” was leaked on Tuesday by the BBC and the Times of London. The report highlights that Taliban militants believe Pakistan’s main spy agency, the Directorate for Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), controls and manipulates the Taliban, and that a Taliban victory is expected once NATO and U.S. troops pull out (NYT).
