The eighty-eigth weekly "No shit, Sherlock" award

This week's winner is the Rand Corporation for its report on Pakistan's links to terrorist groups.

"A number of militant networks – including al-Qaeda, Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammad – remain entrenched in Pakistan and pose a grave threat to the state and the region," said Seth Jones, one of the authors.

"Pakistan has long used its support of militant groups as a foreign policy tool, so ending that will take time."
