In an interview with Pakistan’s Dawn-TV, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton laid out some goals for her trip this week to Pakistan. “I talk about people-to-people diplomacy,” she said, “because for me, being Secretary of State is not just going somewhere and sitting in a government office or a conference room talking across the table to my counterparts in the government. I want to get out. I’ve been doing this around the world, taking questions not just from the press of the country I’m visiting, but from the people of the country, looking for ways to experience the culture and show respect for that.”
So today in Islamabad, doing a bit of public diplomacy, she heard a lot about drone strikes.
During an interview with Clinton broadcast live in Pakistan with several prominent female TV anchors, before a predominantly female audience of several hundred, one member of the audience said the Predator attacks amount to ”executions without trial” for those killed.
Another asked Clinton how she would define terrorism.
”Is it the killing of people in drone attacks?” she asked. That woman then asked if Clinton considers drone attacks and bombings like the one that killed more than 100 civilians in the city of Peshawar earlier this week to both be acts of terrorism.
Clinton said no.
