Petraeus said the Pakistani people now realize that extremist groups such as the Taliban are their biggest threat. “They realize the Taliban wanted to take Pakistan back several centuries, not forward,” he told the senators.[/quote]


[quote]In Yemen, Centcom is implementing a plan he developed last year and that the Yemeni government accepted last summer to quell rising extremism there from a group known as al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, Petraeus said.[/quote]


[quote]Enemies of the United States have become adept at using the Internet in achieving their aims, the general said. “Extremists recruit there, they proselytize there, they share tactics and strategy there,” he explained. “We have to ask ourselves if this is something we can allow to continue. If not, then we must figure out how to stop it without infringing on free speech.”[/quote][/quote]
