May 03: Baltimore Sun report by John J. Lombardi states that our country’s relationship with Pakistan is complicated, as is its position in international affairs and Taliban connections.

My own pre-trip worries abated immediately as we arrived in Lahore airport and a security official welcomed us into his office. He let us five travelers pass through customs without checks, and even gave us customary chai tea and desserts.
