they're saying, in other words, the senior officials who met with grossman expressed surprise that osamaking, they say, taking them at face value until they find out. so far, we should say, there's no compelling evidence that they did know. >> the other thing i was curious about i know there were people in the house and the pakistanis have those people in custody and apparently they're questioning them. and then during the raid, the united states confiscated lots of papers are computers and hard drive stwhez tos and took them e united states. do we know if pakistanis and officials within the united states are kind of sharing information or not at all? >> reporter: you know, that is not clear at this point because certainly the pakistanis have the human beings whom they're questioning and then the united states has the documentary evidence. but it is not clear whether they're sharing it. in fact, some of that could become a point of debate and discussion and perhaps fighting as this goes on, because i can tell you, based on what cnn in the field in that region is learning, there is a lot

did the ambassador grossman make it clear to the pakistanis they have to answer these questions.id he explain the consequences are not? >> i'm not going to talk that the specific conversations john brenau was very clear yesterday in saying that we are working with the government of pakistan to determine what if any support systems may have existed in place for bin laden. >> the come to the conversation between the support systems? >> i'm not going to get into the details of the conversations. we public the mccaul which we are going to raise those issues and we have indeed raised those issues into conversations with the pakistani government. that said, we also grew and the secretary as well as the president talked about the fact that the counterterrorism cooperation helped lead us over the course of many years to something that -- >> the president spoke with john on the right after the operation. >> the sic her talk about the trust deficits and if this building has the events of last 40 hours increased the trust deficit between the united states and pakistan? >> i don't know that

the only sure thing that the redskins have at that spot with mcnabb's future in question and rex grossmanent. when asked if beck's talent is yet redskins did not select a quarterback in the draft, shanahan brought up beck's potential. >> when john beck did come out i had him as a quarterback, and i didn't even think it was close, so i have confidence on john beck. when he comes on in 2007 you evaluate the quarterbacks every year and he was by far my number one guy. so i think the world of him and when you see a guy practice every day, regardless if it's your system or going against our defense you surely get to see his strengths and his weaknesses. he has not disappointed me since he's been here. >> john beck of byu drafted in 2007. brady quinn, jamarcus russell went ahead of him that year, but he has qualities that mike shanahan obviously enjoys. >> thanks, lindsay. >> hope the coach is right. >>> coming up, a new perspective on the september 11th attacks. >>> and for all your news, we invite you to follow news 4 online. search nbc washington on facebook and on twitte osama bin laden off

or a book someday from mark grossman on afpac diplomacy. so i believe this is for state an area for improvement. and i assume that this is what the academy of diplomatic studies and training has in mind with this series on dip ro mats and -- diplomats and diplomacy. and it's an ambition for my particular book, "high value target." now, the second proposition i'd like to make to you this morning is that effective counterterrorism needs a strategy. i argue in this book thatdown terrorism could not -- that counterterrorism should not be conceived narrowly as an intelligence matter or a military question, but rather it should be conceived as a broad strategy. in yemen we encapsulated our strategy as no development without security, and no security without development. it worked very well in arabic. [speaking in native tongue] and that strategy arose from extensive contacts with the yemenis themselves. high officials and low or average individuals. it linked what was important to us -- moving against al-qaeda in the an effective way -- to what w

leaders, including president zardari, army chief of starm, general keoni, special representative mark grossmanations and obviously there are important concerns and many questions that have to be addressed and worked through. but i would just remind us all that in recent years our cooperation between our governments, our militaries, our law enforcement agencies has increased pressure on al qaeda and the taliban. and we want that progress to continue. going forward, the united states is committed to supporting the people and the government of pakistan as they defend their own democracy from the constant attacks by violent extremists. i'm not going to comment on any specific issue that senator kerry referred to in any of his public remarks but we're going to be working very hard in the days and weeks ahead to ensure that we have a path forward, that continues the progress and answers a lot of the concerns that both sides have at this point. >> the second question is, moving to -- >> again, forgive me, barbara starr is standing by with me at the pentagon. i guess pretty good timing there as we're

meetings and one of them took place in islamabad when the special rep from the united states, mark grossman the president, head of military intelligence, and this subject came up. one thing that we are hear, and this could be entirely possible, officials are telling us, there could be people at the top who did not know and they have said they did not know, but there might be people who are below and lower rank whose would have some type of connection. so it's -- there's no compelling evidence at this point that the government, the senior officials, knew about it. but there's still a lot of information. >> sure. jill, i know there's a ground swell on capitol hill to cut billions of dollars from funding to pakistan now. first of all, is it likely to happen? secondly, what would that do in terms of our efforts to work with pakistan to fight terrorism? >> reporter: well, you're right. there's a ground swell, and people want to, in essence, say you know, punish pakistan. but others are warning, and you heard that from jimmy carter, if the, let's say if they did pull the plug, freezing or ending

was in the president's remarks immediately following this operation on sunday night, down to mark grossman -- who's been in pakistan for the last several days. he spat with president zardari, he's met with prime minister gillani as well as general kayani and in each of those meetings he's made clear that we want this cooperation to continue, though we believe that it is beneficial to both our countries. >> the white house just announced that they will not release a death picture of osama bin laden, and it's been reported that the security also was against the release of a photograph. was the lead to what was her specific argument against releasing a photograph? >> i've seen those reports and i would just say -- i would refer you to the white house on the regarding the decision not to release a total and on the secretary's role i would just say that she conveyed the state department's views. this was an interagency discussion and as john brennan and others said it was a deliberative process towards making this decision, and she conveyed the state department's views but i don't want to get i
