As stated above, experts on LeT and south Asia who have done fieldwork in Pakistan have stated that some of these variables such as Pakistani military support for LeT and LeT’s charitable activities are effectively constant conditions. In this study, these conditions were coded when a major media source mentioned them as occurring. The fact that major media cites this activity could indicate a trend that this activity was occurring at a greater level then at other times.
