-For a decade now, the US has been pouring money into Pakistan in the form of both military and economic aid. It should be clear by now that the money is not being used for the intended purposes, as repeated audits by the US itself have revealed. Surely it is time the US demanded some accountability. Hard questions need to be asked of Pakistan and further aid must be made conditional on enforceable guarantees that the money will be used only for legitimate purposes set out by those giving the aid. A workable monitoring mechanism must be put in place to ensure that happens. That’s the least the US administration owes to its own citizens, whose money it ultimately is.

 In a startling revelation, an update released on Wednesday says that US funding to Pakistan has more than doubled since President Obama took office in 2009. In fiscal 2010 US gave nearly $4.3 billion to Pakistan, up from about $3 billion in 2009 and $2 billion in 2008. The US fiscal year runs from October to September.
