Well how about the Persians? The elements of radical Islam includes non-nation state actors such as AQ. That does not include Iran, and it's proxy groups like Hezbollah, and the other nation states such as Pakistan and their explicit support, via the ISI, for tribes in Afghanistan. You think we should give these states more information about our intelligence or access to our diplomatic cables?
