An ICG Report 'Pakistan: Countering Militancy in PATA':http://www.crisisgroup.org/~/media/F...mpaign=mremail

From the summary:
While the militants continue to present the main physical threat, the military’s poorly conceived counter-insurgency strategies, heavy-handed methods and failure to restore responsive and accountable civilian administration and policing are proving counter-productive, aggravating public resentment and widening the gulf between PATA’s citizens and the state. Meanwhile neither the federal nor the KPK provincial government is fully addressing the security concerns of residents.
The summary does have some strange passages, for e.g.:
Efforts to revive a shattered economy, once heavily dependent on tourism, have
also faltered....
Until Pakistani politicians at provincial and national level show some will to get changes made with military agreement nothing changes sadly.
