War report

Aid groups in Afghanistan disagree with the administration that the Taliban insurgency has been weakened. Nic Lee, director of the Afghanistan NGO Safety Office, says "Absolutely, without any reservation, it is our opinion that the situation is a lot more insecure this year than it was last year." New intelligence reports say that insurgent factions are beginning to move beyond their rivalries to join forces in coordinated attacks. And a senior U.S. military commander says it practically impossible to stop insurgents from crossing between Afghanistan and Pakistan.  Civilian casualties in 2010 are up 20 percent, and coalition forces have suffered the highest death toll in nine years.
