HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON, U.S. Secretary of State: It is no secret that our relationship of late has not been an easy one.
MARGARET WARNER (Newshour): Diplomatic understatement from America's top diplomat, Friday in Islamabad.
The secretary of state was in Pakistan's capital to press one of America's most vital and mercurial allies in the fight against militants who are still wreaking havoc in Afghanistan, as the U.S. begins drawing down its forces there.
Washington is fuming over Pakistan providing safe haven and otherwise aiding extremists, like the Haqqani militant network and the Afghan Taliban.
On her way, Mrs. Clinton stopped Thursday in Kabul and with Afghan President Hamid Karzai by her side warned that Pakistan could not let the current situation continue without paying a price.
