Summary NATO/ISAF, the US government, and UN have provided important unclassified data on the rising intensity of the conflict, but coverage has often been limited and some data are contradictory. Other material has been provided by the UN, or by private organizations like Senlis -- whose results are generally more negative than those of the US and NATO/ISAF. This paper provides a comparison of such data in graphic and map form. No one source can be said to be reliable and no one set of trends is definitive. The only way to track the the trends in the war is to look at different sources and metrics. The reader should also be aware that there are particularly sharp differences in estimates of Taliban and other insurgent influence depending on whether that influence is measures in terms of clashes, poll, presence, or risk to NATO/ISAF, and UN/NGO personnel. This is clearly reflected in the maps in showing the rise of violence, high risk areas, and areas of Taliban influence. The data are further limited by the fact that NATO/ISAF, the US and other sources do not cover the Pakistani side of the fighting. This ignores one of the most critical aspects of the conflict
