in the skies of pakistan. there was no firefight it was just one who wasn't shot once or twice. this was a complete myth created by the administration in order to protect pakistan from the consequences among other things. is that about right? >> guest: i could be less coy because the pakistanis already know who he is, he was a pakistani kernel in the army intelligence and there were $25 million on the table. we offer that much and he did come in 2010. and to show you how sort of naÏve i am, i made a point early in the piece of writing that he went directly to the station chief named jonathan banks. what i did in the article is wrote that bank was there because particularly in the urdu press involving the cia we had to move them out of the country. his name was mentioned. it is the law did i mention him by name for the simple reason that i thought the way you can be in the story it was 10,000 words checked very carefully just as when i worked for the new yorker they let me be higher sum of checkers and it took

and pakistan very wisely there is of long and busy between pakistan and india. when the eye as i began to fight on all our side one of the things that they did as the council and its head that type of entity exist. so all the anti-indian in to drive them out at that point it had a reactor going but they could not what denies. so what do they do? and what do we do? we put up money over eight or 10 years very sophisticated signal that cannot be erased it is the main contractor. we built the great to radar system for them so there is water to flights about 350 miles. all you had to do is look at that radar system. if they could evade radar it was ludicrous. >> so what you said did your article that it was in the intelligence but a tip from the pakistan any officer that they took that back to the pakistan needs to say now we know where he is a you cooperate or else so they would clear the deck of the u.s. operation. in the with pakistan. s shot once or twice but obliterated by the fire. even to set up a command center to guide though whole operation. this is a compl

skies of pakistan. there is no firefight as the administration says. it was really just one old guy who is not just shot once or twice but as you say obliterated by the fire. they even allowed us to set up a command center in a nearby pakistan facility to guide the operation. so this is really a complete myth created by the administration in order to protect pakistan from the consequences among other things. is that about right? >> guest: that's a good summary. the man that walked in, i could be less quiet about it now because the pakistanis know who he is, he is the pakistani colonel and not in the isi but military intelligence. he was disaffected and there is 25,000,000 dollars on the table. we offered that much money about information from pakistan. he came in 2010. to show you how naÏve i am, i made a point early in the piece of writing that he went directly to her station chief, to a guy named jonathan bank, and what i did in the article is that i wrote that bank was there because big had been men

i have contacts in pakistan. but then it i heard the day after that there was problems in river city inside the white house with bob gates. he was seen as somebody who wasn't on the team i'm then. i heard them from somebody close to the intelligence service in pakistan a three-page e-mail that described pretty much what i ended up raining. i went to american, had to wait a day or so. i went to some americans who would have known everything about it. i have contacts. as a journalist, we all have to depend on access. if you cover the white house he got to maintain good relationships. you can't off the wagon too much. the man, the thing you want to somebody in the government, many people whose loyalty when they sign the oath of office is to the constitution and not to the president. when you have somebody like that on the end died who was appalled by the line and the misdirection in and also leaving the two senior generals who controlled the bottom of the reason they hate us. one option was to tell everything to the

get ready to go to pakistan. they said no you are not, why would anybody send you to pakistan? turned out they were wrong. i went four months later. >> when i got posted to tokyo it was a big deal, in the 90s, what did you do wrong? let me read you something kim wrote in the book and you will get a flavor for how she writes. afghanistan is like being home more than anything else in the region. afghanistan seemed familiar, had jagged mountains, and bearded men and pickup truck stocked with guns and hate for the government. it was like montana. just on different drugs. let's go back for a second. at one point she is talking in the book, the phone rings, calls at the wrong time, how did you balance beheadings with this comedy? >> this is on c-span and asked the hardest question. any journalist when you are a police officer and emergency room doctor, anyone who grows up in afghanistan or pakistan, used comedy to deal with horrible things. just because people are being killed doesn't mean you don't stop living your life and people stop having small moments and it is a way -- it is b

and pakistan's treejic relationship with -- strategic relationship with china. are you sensing that pakistan is retreating from the forefront of foreign policymakers' minds in both beijing and new i delhi? how do you see that fit into the three countries that you're talking about today? >> thanks. you and i go to all the same dialogues. [laughter] we might have a similar view on this. i do think that india is looking up strategically. where they used to be really preoccupied with their neighborhood, worried about pakistan, to some extent china, but now they're seeing themselves as having a global role. and modi has been really critical to shaping that and to being much more prominent on the world stage. and so i think, yes, obviously, pakistan will continue to shape a lot of india's thinking because the terrorism comes from pakistan, the nuclear weapons are still a concern, especially the new, smaller ones they're building m but it's not predominant. and the more and more when we talk to indian government officials, they want to talk about china, and they want t

before tell us what the pakistan people want. >> people of pakistan -- stuart: don't tell me they want america to decide for themselves, they have an opinion. you don't want to scare the issue. the people of pakistan once hillary clinton as the next president of the united states, right or wrong? >> the people of pakistan do not watch every day what is happening in the united states although they have local issues, secondly both candidates have come to a process, the leading parties, and this is a good lesson to the world. stuart: you know where i am going. cut through the diplomatic stuff, hard to do. >> allow me to answer. stuart: you want more of the same, don't you? >> for hillary clinton, her name recognition in pakistan will be more than donald trump. donald trump is not a public figure in the context of the pakistani mind. here he is very popular, hillary clinton is known, secretary of state of the united states, when you are secretary of state people relate to that, publicly spoken on platforms about various issues, she is better known. i am talking the delete, take this seriou

what is so important about pakistan. why do we spend so much time cozying up to the generals who run it. when i wrote about it in the new yorker in 2009 it was more than 100 nuclear weapons and we worry about their weapons. there is a huge muslim population. the reason that they have never have indicated anything about that was when they walk in and may or may not be correct. it might be earlier. the pakistanis kept them secretly because the public would go nuts. the public loved bin laden. 40% of the country saw him as a hero so as long as they have bin laden they could tell the groups we got your guy. pay more attention to us. keep us informed. that was the argument. the second argument they made was explanation for keeping him was they paid him a lot of money. he came from a very wealthy family. there were major constructionists in building. in the assumption we make and i make is that nobody wanted an american interrogation team to talk to them. so the whole deal once the leadership what we did for them. if you want

pakistan. not clear whether all 46 william weld finally be invested, but obviously that worries the indians and they are asking the chinese to come invest here. some of that is happening right increasingly you see them talking about chinese investment in india as well. i think that's a positive development. another thing that is a positive development is that china has been willing to do a lot of the investment not unilaterally, that the radiation and first rapture investment. whenever i see the ceo of the aap, you've been in a lot, he's quite dear. he is very, very smart and he talks about having standards that are as good or better at the bank in terms of labor standards, environmental standards and i see this really as we used to say when you are leading our foreign policy and when we were in government do you want cheney to come in and be a responsible stakeholder. this is an example of china wanting to be responsible stakeholder and we should welcome it and support it. >> hi, i am from ind
