Irate Munter makes another rough statement

Ambassador Cameron Munter issued a blunt assessment Monday of a rough year in Pakistan- US relations, roiled by the killing by US forces clandestine raid in May that killed Osama bin Laden.He said military training and intelligence sharing efforts had gone backward but maintained that the two countries still recognised the need to work together in counterterrorism.Munter said last year about $2 billion of US assistance had gone to the military and $1.5 billion for civilian needs. He said increasing the portion that goes for civilian projects would support Washingtons political goal of backing Pakistans civilian government.
