stan grant who is in islamabad. stan, a couple of questions for you. i mean clearly i have covered president bush when musharraf was in power. there was a lot of tension between the countries back then. it seems as if it's gotten even worse at this point. bring us up to the point where -- how did we get here? >> well, it really came to a head with the raid that killed osama bin laden, suzanne. i think using the troops without going through pakistan first, without notifying pakistan is really what is at the heart of this current break. here they are accusing the united states of violating pakistan's sovereignty and that was a message that the pakistan president brought home again today to hillary clinton. but the secretary of state also had a message for pakistan, and that is that she expects them to do a lot more regardless of the current differences to commit a lot more to going hard after the insurgency here, to being able to shut down this pakistan-afghanistan border, and aid the u.s. in its efforts to bring stability to afghanistan and ultimately draw down the number of troops there. now there is a lot of criticism within pakistan towards the united states. a lot of anti-american feeling. and this is something that secretary of state clinton actually said to the pakistanis that they need to actually get their own house in order first. >> america cannot, and should not, solve pakistan's problems. that's up to pakistan. but in solving its problems, pakistan should understand that anti-americanism and conspiracy theories will not make problems disappear. >> reporter: yeah. suzanne, big problem here is that most people say the problems actually begin with the united states with the u.s. war in afghanistan has brought a blow back here that's causing pakistani lives. >> how did pakistani officials respond to secretary clinton's visit? do they seem to be open to some of her suggestions? >> well, there's a difference between what is said publicly and what's said privately. first of all, a lot of money is put into pakistan and a lot of money is needed. in fact, this is a very stretched operation here. military is very stretched, has a very deep-rooted mill tansy here who are able to strike wherever and whenever they want. so to go after it they require a lot of mrn and that has been the lifeblood of this relationship, this transaction between the u.s. and pakistan. so publicly you will get these messages that, yes, they're committed to renewing this relationship and trying to do more, but there is a private side as well. and with so much pressure from the public here who point to their own government and say why are we doing the bidding of the united states when it only causes more problems for us here, when we are the ones who actually suffer from these attacks, and you often find both the military and the government here playing to those anti-american fears. so once again, saying one thing on one hand to america but another thing to a domestic audience. >> okay, stanto "talk back." today we are asking, is it okay for a presidential candidate to avoid the media? carol costello here to explain if it's even possible. >> here's the premise. let me lay this by you. are we getting to the point where democratic candidates talk mostly to msnbc and republicans talk mostly to fox news? former republican vice presidential candidate sarah palin told fox that candidates should watch out when it comes to the "lame stream media." >> there's got to be the preparation on all the candidates' parts for those gotchas. that's what the lame stream media is known for nowadays, is the gotcha trip-up questions and just have to be prepared for it and overcome it. >> now we don't know yet whether palin is running for president. but all signs seem to be pointing that way. she's reportedly bought a house in arizona. she's hiring new staff and launching that nationwide bus tour. instead of doing interviews, palin prefers to speak to the public through social media and, says cn

stan, do we know -- i mean, it's possible, stan, the pakistanis have, as fran said, reverse engineered this already, studied the technology. >> yeah. we don't have any confirmation of that at all. but it's part of the mystery. part of the unanswered questions with this. you just outlined what i hornet's nest we're talking about here. you know, john kerry had one simple message to pakistan. he said, you need to decide what sort of country you're going to be, whether you're going to be a haven for terrorists. it's almost a moot question. pakistan is a haven for terrorists. osama bin laden was here. pakistan has hosted militant groups for decades now. it's part of the very fabric of the country. and at various times pakistan has either attacked or accommodated those groups depending on its circumstances and its capacity. what john kerry's looking for here, though, is support from pakistan to meet america's ends. and that is across the border into afghanistan. he wants pakistan to be able to disrupt the leadership of the militants here, to block off that border, to make america's efforts in afghanistan easier and eventually be able to draw down the troops. but anderson, it's so difficult because pakistan immediately after the osama bin laden raid, rather than look at what its own culpability may have been, was pointing the finger directly back at the united states, accusing it of infringing on its sovereignty. and that's where we get to this trust issue, the trust deficit between the two countries, anderson. >> michael, do you think it's possible that bin laden did not have a support network in pakistan? and if so, what kind of support network do you think he might have had? >> i think it's very difficult to believe he did not have a support network in pakistan. i think someone must have been helping him. it struck me that he seemed to think he was very secure in that redoubt he was, in the compound he was in. >> you're saying someone in the government or the isi or the military or civilians? >> i think it may be possible. it may be possible that it may be retired intelligence people or military retired people as well. i think it could be coming from a number of different directions. but it seems fairly clear to me that there was some degree of support. >> fran, what do you make of the fact that you had all this anger from pakistanis over the past few weeks about u.s. strikes and raid, you have the parliament saying there shouldn't be any more drone strikes, and yet drone strikes are actually up significantly since the bin laden raid? is this just the difference between what, you know, pakistani officials say for local consumption to soothe anti-american feeling or to kind of placate it and on the other hand they're still cooperating? >> you know, anderson, i think we all expected that the parliamentary resolution was partly rhetoric meant for their own domestic consumption. but it really is extraordinary. not only the increase but the fact that one of the drone strikes happened today while senator kerry was visiting. we shouldn't read too much into the timing. it was clearly operationally driven. there's reports there were ten militants killed. there happened to be a meeting. there was a targeting opportunity. but the clear message out of all of this from the united states to pakistan is we will continue to use drones and we will continue to target militants that threaten the united states regardless of what your parliament says and regardless to your objections on the basis of national sovereignty. >> michael, the drone strikes have been critical. there have been a large take of them under the obama administration but even the waning years of the bush administration there was a significant growth in them. they've been critical so far, and if they stopped that would be a major blow in our efforts to kill terrorists, yes? >> it would be a major blow. they've done some significant damage to our adversaries there, to the taliban and al qaeda. and it's been an important tool in our counterterrorism efforts. and i think to stop those would really inhibit our progress there. >> stan, secretary clinton's heading to pakistan soon. do we have any sense of what' up f for discussion in that trip? >> yeah, before she even comes here, anderson, there are several steps to go through. there are a couple of officials from the state department, also a cia official as well coming here in the next week or so. they're going to sit down with their counterparts and try to work through a process, either tick some of the boxes before hillary clinton actually arrives here. and anderson, the key to all of this is getting pakistan to sign on to what america wants. you know, the united states pumps a lot of money into pakistan. we talk a lot about trust. we talk a lot about the relationship. it's not really about either of those things. this is a transaction. america puts money in here. it wants to see that it's money well spent, that it actually gets a return for that investment. and before they get to the point of hillary clinton coming here, they want to see that those steps are ac

stan grant is in pakistani capital. stan, tell us what is kerry's main message today? >> suzanne, the main message here is how to get this relationship started again. in his words, how to reset this relationship. the killing of osama bin laden has really exposed some cracks and he came here with some tough words. he said to the pakistani leadership, the president, the prime minister, the heads of the military and the intelligence service that there are those in the united states, in washington, who are asking some very tough questions about this alliance, wondering what pakistan knew about bin laden's presence here in the country. now he said he wants to move beyond that, although he is setting some goals here, some benchmarks. there are some things he says that pakistan needs to do to be able to get this relationship back on the right foot. there, more discussion about this as some officials from the u.s. are coming later this week. there is a planned visit by the secretary of state hillary clinton also to try to mend these fences. now there's been a lot of criticism from pakistan to the united states as well. they've been pointing the finger back at the u.s. about the secrecy of the raid on bin laden's compound. they're saying that pakistan did not know about it and that infringed on pakistan's sovereignty and this is what john kerry had to say about that. >> my goal has been to talk with the leaders here about how to manage this critical relationship more effectively, about how to open up the opportunities to put this relationship back on track where isolated episodes, no matter how profound, don't jeopardize the larger relationship and the larger goal. >> reporter: he's not here to apologize at all for that raid. he said it had to be carried out secretly. in fact, he didn't know about it either until after bin laden had been killed. what he's stressing to the pakistanis is to focus on the things that you know pakistan and the u.s., the fight against the insurgency, taliban, al qaeda and not their differences. >> the fact that bin laden was hiding in plain sight in pakistan has many here concerned and convinced that pakistani officials were either xlits or or incompetent in this hunt. >> i asked him that, do you trust what they're saying. he said there is no evidence to suggest that the pakistani officials, military intelligence, civilian government, didn't know about bin laden's presence here and he said he wasn't going to speculate. he said he'd rather focus on moving the relationship forward than getting into speculation. then i asked him if this indeed is negligence then on the part of the pakistanis, is he happy with that. again he said this is not something he wants to get into. you see the emphasis here really is not about trying to go it alone, the whole ground is about trying to get this relationship going forward. pakistan is very important to the united states. it has its flaws. we know that there are those in the united states who suspect pakistan at playing a double game. but it is so crucial to try to end the war in afghanistan that right now they're prepared to live with some of these differences and try to get the relationship moving again. >> all right, stanttle bit of breaking news here. want to bring you up to speed here. this of course is the case -- the case against the imf chief, dominique strauss-khan. prosecutors are arguing against bail for the head of the imf. these are allegations, rape charges, they're arguing against bail. he is facing sexual assault charges. they are saying that during the arraignment they believe that strauss-khan has engaged in similar acts, at least once, and so they are rejecting the idea -- the notion of bail. the defense attorneys for strauss-khan, however, say they will agree to bail of $1 million. that's the latest development out of this case that we are following very closely. we'll have a quick break, get right back to you.

stan grant was just at that news conference. he's joining us live now. so, stan, we're hearing that secretary clinton will visit, too? >> reporter: yeah. that's moved for a little bit later once they start to recalibrate this relationship. this is a relationship that's hit a rocky patch. the killing of osama bin laden has shown a lot of cracks have appeared as a result of that. what senator kerry was doing today is stressing wait forward. he was saying that the relationship is going to be re-set. and that's why they try to continue this dialogue. he did, however, come here with tough words as well. he said there were very, very hard questions being asked in the united states right now about what pakistan, what its officials, what its military, what its intelligence knew or did not know about osama bin laden living in pakistan. he didn't actually have any answers to that. i put the question to him directly, do you trust them? he said, i'm not going to speculate. there's no evidence to suggest that they were co-lott. when they carried out this raid on bin laden in secret. and this is how senator kerry responded. >> my goal has been to talk with the leaders here about how to manage this critical more effectively. about how to open up the opportunities to put this relationship back on track. where isolated episodes, no matter how profound, don't jeopardize the larger relationship and the larger goal. >> reporter: now, the bottom line here, he says, is that pakistan and the united states share a common enemy, pakistanis are also dying, as a result of this battle, with the insurgencies, and they need to be able to focus on what binds them and not what separates them right now, carol. >> stannks. >>> president obama is talking about boosting oil production here at home. the administration is no doubt feel something heat over the cost of gas. >> i'm directing the department of interior to conduct annual lease sales in alaska's national petroleum reserve while respecting certain areas and to speed up oil and gas resources in the mid and south atlantic. we plan to lease new areas in the gulf of mexico as well and work to create new incentives for industry to develop unused leases both on and offshore. >> national average for gas today, $3.95 a gallon. just a penny cheaper than last week. let's check in with cnn's dan loathian at the white house. dan, is the president changing his tune, is he saying drill, baby, drill? >> reporter: it's not going that far but certainly making tweaks. the energy policy because there's been pressure about gas prices hovering or topping $4 a gallon over the last several weeks and also oil prices, we've seen over the last 12 months or so increase
