http://democracynow.org - During a conference Tuesday at Hofstra University that assessed the George W. Bush presidency, Amy Goodman asked panelists if senior administration officials should be tried for war crimes. Her question to former national intelligence director and U.S. ambassador to Iraq, John Negroponte, drew this response:
Amy Goodman: "Do you think that, Mr. Negroponte, that knowing what we know today, the Iraq War was wrong? And do you think torture is wrong?"
John Negroponte: "Look, well, torture is never right. And ..."
Amy Goodman: "Do think the Bush administration was wrong to engage in it?"
John Negroponte: "I say torture is never right. That’s my first point. But my second point was, I’ll just stick with the way I felt during the time I lived through those events. And you can find quotes of what I said when I was ambassador to the U.N. I was asked if I thought we should use force in Iraq. And I said, well, in questions like this, I think we ought to approach the issue with a great deal of caution."
According to The Wall Street Journal, Negroponte continued to think about Goodman’s comments after the panel discussion was over. The article about the event ended with this remark:
"Boy, I need a stiff drink after that one," Mr. Negroponte told a small group of people after the panel on which he and Ms. Goodman served. "Double martini."

"There is no factual basis for this statement. If any country has been instrumental in breaking the back of al-Qaida, that country is Pakistan. We have done more than any other country in this war. Mr Negroponte himself says that hundreds of al-Qaida elements have been captured and killed after 9/11 but he doesn't mention the country which has made it possible for the US to capture and kill those people. We believe that if there is any basis for this statement, that information should have been shared with Pakistan."

STORYLINE:
Pakistan rejected allegations on Friday by America's spy chief that it is a refuge for terror leaders, and demanded that US intelligence networks share information on the whereabouts Osama bin Laden and other top al-Qaida figures.
US National Intelligence Director John Negroponte said in testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee on Thursday that al-Qaida was "cultivating stronger operational connections and relationships that radiate outward from their leader's secure hideout in Pakistan."
Interior Minister Aftab Khan Sherpao, the top civilian security official in Pakistan, said that the US intelligence agencies had not shared any "specific information" with Pakistan on the whereabouts of al-Qaida or the Taliban.
"In my opinion, al-Qaida has been totally marginalised, and we have been doing a job which was very very sensitive and very difficult," he said.
A spokeswoman for Pakistan's Foreign Ministry told AP Television that Negroponte's claim had "no factual basis".
"If any country has been instrumental in breaking the back of al-Qaida, that country is Pakistan. We have done more than any other country in this war," Tasnim Aslam said.
But in a sign that insurgents are crossing from Pakistan to fight in Afghanistan, the bodies of 25 militants killed in a fierce battle with NATO were repatriated on Friday to their tribal villages in Pakistan, where Taliban activists urged mass attendance at their funerals, residents said.

STORYLINE:
The United States' second-ranking diplomat on Thursday signalled that the Bush administration was distancing itself from Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf after opposition victories in last week's elections.
US Deputy Secretary of State John Negroponte told senators that the United States was supporting Pakistan's people as they chose their leaders after the parliamentary elections.
But he made scant mention of Musharraf, who seized power in a 1999 coup, during his testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
Democratic Senator Joe Biden urged the administration to move from "a policy focused on a personality, Musharraf, to one based on an entire country.''
Senior Bush administration officials, including Negroponte, have previously underlined their view that Musharraf has been "indispensable'' to the US-led fight against extremists along Pakistan's rugged border with Afghanistan.
Negroponte testified that the US looked "forward to working with the leaders who emerge'' from the formation of a new government.
When pressed by a lawmaker about whether the US would continue to back Musharraf, Negroponte acknowledged that "Musharraf is still the president of his country, and we look for to continuing to work with him.''
The Pakistan Muslim League-Q, a party loyal to Musharraf, lost heavily.

STORYLINE:
US President George W. Bush has nominated intelligence veteran Mike McConnell, former National Security Agency Director, to be the second US national intelligence director.
In a reshuffling of his national security team, he also chose his former top spymaster, John Negroponte, to be US deputy secretary of state.
McConnell replaces Negroponte, who became the first holder of the post of director of national intelligence in 2005.
"Each of them will do good work in their new positions and it is vital that they take up their new responsibilities promptly," Bush said on Friday.
Speaking to the new Congress, which is under Democrats' control, he added, "I would hope that they would be confirmed as quickly as possible."
McConnell said he looks forward, if confirmed, to building on the accomplishments of Negroponte and his team, who have been in place just 20 months.
"Unlike just a decade ago, the threats of today and the future are moving at increasing speeds and across organisational and geographic boundaries," McConnell said, standing alongside Bush, Negroponte and US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
Negroponte said, "I believe our intelligence community has embraced the challenge of functioning as a single unified enterprise and reaffirmed the fact that it is the best intelligence community in the world, second to none."

STORYLINE:
US National Intelligence Director John Negroponte made an unannounced visit to Baghdad on Friday for talks with the Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki.
According to the Iraqi leader's office, Negroponte went directly to al-Maliki's residence where both men discussed the country's perilous security situation.
Negroponte's visit comes just five days after National Security Adviser Stephen Hadley paid another previously unannounced trip to Iraq as tensions in the US-Iraqi relationship came to the surface following a series of critical statements by al-Maliki.
The prime minister's office said the meeting with Negroponte in Baghdad's heavily fortified Green Zone touched on political developments and the importance of upgrading Iraq's armed forces to the stage where they can take responsibility for national security.
Negroponte had served as the American ambassador to Iraq before the current envoy, Zalmay Khalilzad.
The US Embassy confirmed Negroponte was in Baghdad, but said no details of the visit would be released.
Yassin Majid, the prime minister's spokesman said Negroponte's visit came "in the framework of a continuing series of meetings between the Iraqi government and the US administration."
Meanwhile Iraq's Defence Minister cancelled leave for all army officers, apparently fearing violence after this Sunday's expected announcement of a verdict in the trial of former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein.
Defence Minister Abdul-Qader al-Obeidi was reported to have been heard issuing the order in videotaped footage of a meeting between Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and senior military and security officials, in which al-Maliki criticised them for failing to stop the capital's unbridled violence.

STORYLINE:
The latest victims of Iraq's unrelenting sectarian bloodshed were taken to the holy Shiite city of Karbala for burial on Friday as the US director of national intelligence made an unannounced visit to the capital, Baghdad.
Baghdad police said they found the 56 tortured bodies scattered around the capital over the 24 hours before Friday morning, all the apparent victims of death squads.
Bodies were shrouded in white sheets before being laid to rest.
The victims, whose bodies were found between 6:00 a.m. (0300 GMT) Thursday and 6:00 a.m. (0300 GMT) Friday, were all men estimated in age between 20 and 45, according to the police.
All were wearing civilian clothes and had been bound at the wrists and ankles, they said.
The police said the bodies showed signs of having been tortured, a common practice among the militias who snatch their victims from private homes or cars and buses travelling the capital's dangerous streets.
Such murders almost always go unsolved and the police said they had no solid information on who the victims were, where and when they were killed, or by whom.
Shiite militiamen have been blamed for a number of the capital's sectarian slayings, which exploded in number following the February bombing of a holy Shiite shrine in the city of Samarra, whilst Sunni extremists have repeatedly targeted predominantly Shiite areas, such as the capital's impoverished Sadr City as the violence spirals uncontrollably towards full civil war.
The country's perilous security situation was the subject of discussions between Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and visiting US National Intelligence Director John Negroponte, according to the Iraqi leader's office

STORYLINE:
U.S. Ambassador John Negroponte and British Ambassador Jeremy Greenstock held a meeting late on Wednesday in New York with the 10 non-permanent UN Security Council members.
The council meets on Thursday for its first closed-door discussion on the US-British-Spanish resolution on Iraq and a rival French-Russian-German proposal to beef up inspections and continue them for at least four more months.
In advance of the meeting, opponents and supporters of quick military action lobbied council members in New York and capitals around the world.
Mexico appeared to be the first among the undecided council members to shift toward the U.S. position, and an important Russian lawmaker, Mikhail Margelov, said Wednesday he doesn't believe his country would veto the resolution.
But the United States still faces an uphill struggle to win the nine "yes" votes and avoid a veto by France, China or Russia.
It is now assured of British and Spanish support, and will likely get Bulgaria's and Mexico's votes.

STORYLINE:
The new U.S. ambassador to Iraq, John D. Negroponte, was in Baghdad on Tuesday - touring the building that will be become the U.S. embassy in the Iraqi capital.
Negroponte's arrival in Baghdad signals a shift in power from the Defence Department to the State Department, in terms of shaping U.S. policy on Iraq, according to the Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage.
Armitage said Monday that until now, the Defence Department has been in control, but with Negroponte's appointment "the Department of State is taking the lead now."
"We (the State Department) will be the dominant voice," Armitage said.
The U.S.-led Coalition Provisional Authority transferred control of Iraq to an interim Iraqi government on Monday, two days earlier than expected.
A few hours later, Negroponte arrived, also ahead of schedule. He had been due in Baghdad at the end of the week.
On Tuesday, Negroponte - the former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations - was in the Green Zone in Baghdad, touring the area and the future embassy building.
U.S. plans call for a U.S. Embassy that probably will be the largest in the world, with some 1,000 Americans assisted by hundreds of Iraqis.
Negroponte will be assisted by a handful of U.S. ambassadors who volunteered for duty in Baghdad.
At the same time, though, administration officials say the United States intends to maintain a low-key presence, deferring to the interim Iraqi government.

1. US President George W Bush and John Negroponte walking into press conference
2. Cutaway of Bush
3. SOUNDBITE: (English) George W Bush, United States President:
"Pleased to announce my decision to nominate Ambassador John Negroponte as Director of National Intelligence. The director''s responsibility is straight forward and demanding. John will make sure that those whose duty it is to defend America have the information we need to make the right decisions. John understands America''s global intelligence needs because he spent the better part of his life in our foreign service."
4. Cutaway of Bush
5. SOUNDBITE: (English) George W Bush, United States President:
"In the war against terrorists who target innocent civilians and continue to seek weapons of mass murder, intelligence is our first line of defence. If we''re going to stop the terrorists before they strike, we must ensure that our intelligence agencies work as a single, unified enterprise."
6. Cutaway of Bush
7. SOUNDBITE: (English) George W Bush, United States President:
"I can''t tell you that, because the investigation is ongoing, and so I''m going to withhold judgment until we know what the facts are. Hopefully, by the time I get overseas, we''ll have a clearer understanding of who killed Mr. Hariri, and (it will) be an opportune time to determine what to do about it. It''s important that the investigation go on in a thoughtful way and I''m convinced it will. We supported the international (investigation)."
8. Cutaway of Bush
9. SOUNDBITE: (English) George W Bush, United States President:
"First of all, Iran has made it clear, you know they don''t like Israel, to put it bluntly, and Israelis are concerned whether or not Iran develops a nuclear weapon, as are we, as should everybody. So the objective is to solve this issue diplomatically, to work with friends, like we''re doing with France, Europe, I mean, France, Germany and Great Britain. To continue making clear to the Iranians that developing a nuclear weapon will be unacceptable."
10. Steven Hadley, US National Security Advisor
11. Bush
12. SOUNDBITE: (English) George W Bush, United States President:
"Those differences at times, frankly, caused us to talk past each other. And I recognise that and I want to make sure the Europeans know that. And, that as we move beyond the differences of the past we can work a lot together to achieve big objectives. There''s also a concern in Europe, I believe, that the only thing I care about is our national security. And clearly, since we''ve been attacked, I fear there''s a terrorist group out there thinking about attacking us again, or would like to, that national security is the top of my agenda, that''s what you''d expect from the president of the United States. But we also care deeply about hunger and disease. And, I look forward to working with the Europeans on hunger and disease."

Washington, DC - 17th February 2005

2. Cutaway of Bush
3. SOUNDBITE: (English) George W Bush, United States President:
"Pleased to announce my decision to nominate Ambassador John Negroponte as Director of National Intelligence. The director''s responsibility is straight forward and demanding. John will make sure that those whose duty it is to defend America have the information we need to make the right decisions. John understands America''s global intelligence needs because he spent the better part of his life in our foreign service."
4. Cutaway of Bush
5. SOUNDBITE: (English) George W Bush, United States President:
"In the war against terrorists who target innocent civilians and continue to seek weapons of mass murder, intelligence is our first line of defence. If we''re going to stop the terrorists before they strike, we must ensure that our intelligence agencies work as a single, unified enterprise."
6. Cutaway of Bush
7. SOUNDBITE: (English) George W Bush, United States President:
"I can''t tell you that, because the investigation is ongoing, and so I''m going to withhold judgment until we know what the facts are. Hopefully, by the time I get overseas, we''ll have a clearer understanding of who killed Mr. Hariri, and (it will) be an opportune time to determine what to do about it. It''s important that the investigation go on in a thoughtful way and I''m convinced it will. We supported the international (investigation)."
8. Cutaway of Bush
9. SOUNDBITE: (English) George W Bush, United States President:
"First of all, Iran has made it clear, you know they don''t like Israel, to put it bluntly, and Israelis are concerned whether or not Iran develops a nuclear weapon, as are we, as should everybody. So the objective is to solve this issue diplomatically, to work with friends, like we''re doing with France, Europe, I mean, France, Germany and Great Britain. To continue making clear to the Iranians that developing a nuclear weapon will be unacceptable."
10. Steven Hadley, US National Security Advisor
11. Bush
12. SOUNDBITE: (English) George W Bush, United States President:
"Those differences at times, frankly, caused us to talk past each other. And I recognise that and I want to make sure the Europeans know that. And, that as we move beyond the differences of the past we can work a lot together to achieve big objectives. There''s also a concern in Europe, I believe, that the only thing I care about is our national security. And clearly, since we''ve been attacked, I fear there''s a terrorist group out there thinking about attacking us again, or would like to, that national security is the top of my agenda, that''s what you''d expect from the president of the United States. But we also care deeply about hunger and disease. And, I look forward to working with the Europeans on hunger and disease."

6. SOUNDBITE (English): Senator Jay Rockefeller:
"Reform of the intelligence community will involve stepping on the turf of some of the most powerful bureaucracies in Washington and first and foremost among those is the Department of Defence. Eighty per cent of our intelligence spending is in the DOD (Department of Defence) budget. The incoming Director of National Intelligence will have to quickly establish a close working relationship with the Secretary of Defence, but it must be a relationship of equals and Ambassador Negroponte must be willing to exercise the authority given him by the legislation and the President when he and the Secretary differ."
7. Senate floor
8. SOUNDBITE (English): Senator Ron Wyden:
"I am not convinced that Ambassador Negroponte is the right man for this job. I've reached this judgement based on my strong belief that a prerequisite for this position must be a willingness to be direct and forthcoming with policy makers, even when the truth is difficult. Unfortunately directness was no where in sight in the Ambassador's responses in his confirmation hearing last week."

STORYLINE:
John Negroponte won easy approval by the Senate on Thursday to become the first US national intelligence director.
The Senate voted 98-2 to give the former Iraq ambassador the job.
The job was created last year to better coordinate American spy agencies after the September 11 attacks and intelligence blunders.
The independent September 11 Commission called on Congress to create a single, powerful director to oversee all 15 agencies in the intelligence community.
Congress approved the new post in December as part of the most significant overhaul since 1947.
Presidential spokesman Scott McClellan said Negroponte will take over the task of giving President Bush a daily briefing on intelligence matters, probably beginning next week.
He takes charge of an intelligence community that's been criticised in report after report for failures leading up to the attacks of September 11, and for its pre-war intelligence on Iraq.
Senator Jay Rockefeller, the top Democrat on the intelligence panel, has said he spent 90 minutes with the incoming chief, discussing issues including whether changes are needed in Negroponte's powers.
Democrat Senators Tom Harkin joined Senator Ron Wyden in opposing the nomination.
Wyden said Negroponte ducked a number of issues at his confirmation hearing this month and has questioned whether Negroponte had adequately reported human rights abuses as ambassador to Honduras in the 1980s.
Negroponte has been a diplomat for most of his career and held official posts in eight countries, including ambassadorships in Mexico and the Philippines.
The served in President Ronald Reagan's National Security Council from 1987 to 1989.

STORYLINE
John Negroponte, President George W. Bush's choice as the first director of all US intelligence activities, told senators on Tuesday that reforming the various spy agencies will be a central focus of his new job.
At his confirmation hearing before the Senate Intelligence Committee, Negroponte declined to specify what he will do about changes recommended by recent commissions that have been critical of US intelligence-gathering, however.
He said he is still studying their findings.
Negroponte said he believes intelligence has limits.
But, he said, intelligence is the first line of defence in the war on terror for the 21st century.
His comments directly addressed recent failures, in which the intelligence community overstated the threat posed by Iraq in the run-up to the 2003 invasion, was unable to prevent the terror attacks of September 11, 2001, and has been repeatedly criticised for bureaucratic infighting.
He also noted that he had seen first hand the impact of insurgency and the drive toward freedom in Iraq.
Negroponte was the first ambassador to Iraq following the establishment of the Iraqi interim government.
Democrats planned to seek assurances that Negroponte would be an objective and independent leader of the 15 spy agencies he would oversee.
West Virginia Senator Jay Rockefeller, the top Democrat on the intelligence panel, questioned Negroponte on whether the new Director of National Intelligence would be responsible for methods used to gain information from detainees.

STORYLINE
US National Intelligence Director John Negroponte said on Thursday that the al-Qaida terror network remains the "top concern" of the U.S. intelligence community, followed closely by the nuclear activities of Iran and North Korea.
Negroponte told the Senate Intelligence Committee in a relatively rare public session that Iran probably does not yet have nuclear weapons, nor the fissile material needed for producing them.
"Nevertheless", he said, "the danger that it will acquire a nuclear weapon and the ability to integrate it with ballistic missiles Iran already possesses is a reason for immediate concern".
Reading from a 25-page prepared statement, Negroponte told the panel some 40 terror groups, insurgencies or cults have obtained or want chemical, biological or nuclear weapons.
It was Negroponte's first public appearance before a congressional committee since his confirmation hearings last April.
His job was created by Congress to coordinate the work of the government's 15 intelligence agencies.
Negroponte said great strides had been made in fighting global terrorism, particularly al-Qaida.
But, he added, the terror organisation's core elements were still plotting and making preparations for terrorist strikes.
On Iraq, Negroponte said that Iraqi Sunni disaffection with the emerging government is the "primary enabler" of the insurgency there.
He added that even if a broad inclusive national government emerged, there would almost certainly will be a time lag before any dampening effect on the insurgency was apparent.
Negroponte also said Venezuela has been seeking closer ties with North Korea and Iran.
Negroponte talked about Venezuela in testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee as Venezuela was making known its support for Iran in deliberations at the 35-nation International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna.
Iran has denied allegations by the United States and other countries that it is seeking a nuclear weapons program.

2. SOUNDBITE (English) General Michael Hayden, US Deputy National Intelligence Director:

3. Wide of Senate Intelligence Committee members
4. SOUNDBITE (English) Bob Mueller, FBI Director:
"And I can say that leads from that programme have been valuable in identifying would-be terrorists in the United States."
5. Wide of Senate Intelligence Committee members
6. SOUNDBITE (English) Porter Goss, CIA Director:
"But I would say that the consequences of these leaks, I'm happy to have your question to respond, and I'm sorry to tell you that the damage has been very severe to our capabilities to carry out our mission."
7. Mid shot of Committee member asking question
8. SOUNDBITE (English) Senator Pat Roberts, Republican, Intelligence Committee Chairman:
"I cannot imagine how anybody who would be receiving a call from a terrorist cell, where we have reason to believe that they are going to attack the United States, and that person happened to be in the United States, that they would think their civil liberty was being violated if some intelligence or law enforcement person was not monitoring that call. It would be indefensible if we did not. And, in addition, I would only point out that you really don't have any civil liberties if you're dead."
9. Wide of Senate Intelligence Committee members
10. SOUNDBITE (English) Senator Ron Wyden, Democrat from Oregon:
"(Your) Answer is essentially, 'trust us. Congress and the public just have to trust us.' And Ronald Reagan put it very well. He said, 'trust but verify.' And we have no way to verify that citizens are being protected the way you have outlined today."

STORYLINE:
US National Intelligence Director John Negroponte and his top deputy fiercely defended President George Bush's authorisation allowing the government to eavesdrop - without first obtaining warrants - on international communications of people on US soil who may be linked to al-Qaida.
"The programme has been successful, that we have learned information from this programme that would not otherwise have been available. That this information has helped detect and prevent terrorist attacks in the United States and abroad," said Negroponte's deputy, General Michael Hayden.
Neither Negroponte nor Hayden would say publicly how many people have been monitored.
Nor would they offer details on attacks that have been averted.
FBI Director Bob Mueller said information gained from the eavesdropping programme had, "been valuable in identifying would-be terrorists in the United States."
President Bush authorised the programme soon after the September 11 terror attacks on the US.
It first came to light in December 2005 when the New York Times reported on the clandestine operation.
CIA Director Porter Goss said on Thursday that the damage caused by bringing the operation into public knowledge had, "been very severe to our capabilities to carry out our mission."
Senator Ron Wyden, a Democrat from Oregon, said the intelligence gathering community was asking for too much blind trust from both Congress and the public.
"We have no way to verify that citizens are being protected the way you have outlined today," Wyden said.

6. Negroponte passing through immigration at the airport
STORYLINE:
The US State Department's number two diplomat arrived in South Korea on Monday amid intense diplomacy aimed at ensuring North Korea keeps its pledge for nuclear disarmament.
US Deputy Secretary of State John Negroponte was meeting with South Korean officials on Monday and Tuesday to discuss the February 13 accord reached after international arms talks with North Korea, which agreed to shut down its sole operating nuclear reactor within 60 days.
At the airport he told reporters he was happy to be in Seoul.
"I think it's very important on my first international trip as Deputy Secretary of State that I have the opportunity to visit your country. I look forward to the discussions I'll be having today and tomorrow," Negroponte said.
On Sunday in China, Negroponte said North Korea must keep its promises and also declare all its nuclear activities that will be eventually dismantled.
The US and North Korea were set to begin bilateral talks on normalising ties on Monday in New York, a move that could eventually lead to diplomatic relations between the long-time foes.
While in China, Negroponte also called for more openness from Beijing about increases in defence spending.
South Korea is Negroponte's final scheduled stop on an Asian tour that also included Japan.
The trip was his first abroad since being confirmed last month as US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's deputy.

4. SOUNDBITE: (English) Tom Casey, US State Department Spokesman:
"He will, in discussing the present situation there, be making the same kinds of points to the Pakistani officials he meets with that you've heard from the president, from the Secretary and others, that being that we want to see an end to the state of emergency, we want to see elections move forward as quickly as possible, we want to see those elections take place in an atmosphere that allows for free, fair and open competition. We want the elections to be representative of the will of the Pakistani people."
5. Cutaway of reporter
6. Casey concluding briefing
STORYLINE:
The Bush administration is sending its number two diplomat to Pakistan to tell President Pervez Musharraf in person to rescind emergency rule and allow free and fair elections.
Deputy Secretary of State John Negroponte, now on a four-nation West Africa tour, will go to Pakistan by the
end of the week to underscore US concerns about the situation as Musharraf resists pressure to return to constitutional rule or to free opposition leader Benazir Bhutto who has been placed under house arrest for a second time.
Deputy State Department spokesman Tom Casey said Negroponte will "be making the same kinds of points to the Pakistani officials he meets with that you've heard from the president, from the Secretary and others."
"We want to see an end to the state of emergency, we want to see elections move forward as quickly as possible, we want to see those elections take place in an atmosphere that allows for free, fair and open competition. We want the elections to be representative of the will of the Pakistani people," Casey said.
The White House offered a measured response to Bhutto's demand that Musharraf resign and she ruled out serving under him in a future government.
The development marked another setback for a US ally that has slid into crisis and away from the democracy it had promised.
Musharraf's critics and chief international backers, including the United States, have said the restrictions imposed by the military leader - such as on independent media and rallies - would make it hard to hold a fair vote in upcoming parliamentary elections.
Meanwhile, Bhutto was trapped in a padlocked house surrounded by riot police, trucks, tractors loaded with sand, and a row of metal barricades topped with barbed wire.
She was being held to prevent her from leading a protest procession.
The government said it was being done for her safety.

"President Musharraf has been and continues to be a strong voice against extremism. We value our partnership with the government of Pakistan under the leadership of President Musharraf. We welcome President Musharraf's announcement that elections will take place in January, a commitment he repeated to me yesterday in categorical terms. He also repeated his commitment to retire from his army post before commencing his second presidential term and we urge him to do so as soon as possible. Unfortunately the recent political actions against protesters, suppression of the media and the arrests of political and human rights leaders, runs directly counter to the reforms that have been undertaken in recent years. Their continuation undermines the progress that Pakistan has made. I urged the government of Pakistan to stop such actions, to lift the state of emergency and release all political detainees. Emergency rule is not compatible with free, fair and credible elections."

STORYLINE
US Deputy Secretary of State John Negroponte delivered a blunt message to Pakistan's military ruler, telling him that emergency rule must be lifted and his opponents freed ahead of elections, the senior diplomat said on Sunday.
"I urged the government of Pakistan to stop such actions, to lift the state of emergency and release all political detainees," Negroponte said at a news conference at the heavily guarded US Embassy at the end of his visit. "Emergency rule is not compatible with free, fair and credible elections."
However, Negroponte praised President General Pervez Musharraf's efforts in the war on terror, and said he was heartened by the announcement of an election date for January 9.
Musharraf has insisted, publicly and in his two-hour meeting with Negroponte on Saturday, that he would not lift the widely criticised emergency powers unless the security situation improves.
Thousands of opponents have been jailed, Supreme Court judges purged and independent TV stations muffled since the emergency was declared November 3.
Just ahead of Negroponte's visit, Musharraf freed opposition leader Benazir Bhutto and a leading human rights activist and loosened his restrictions on several independent television news outlets.
Negroponte was measured in his comments, but expressed some impatience with Musharraf, saying he hoped to see more moves back toward democracy soon.
Negroponte's trip was seen as a last best chance to avoid political turmoil in Pakistan, a key front in the war on terror.
On Saturday, the US diplomat met for more than two hours with Musharraf and Pakistan's deputy army commander, General Ashfaq Kayani.

STORYLINE
Washington's second highest ranking diplomat claimed 'significant results' for the troop 'surge' in Iraq at a news conference on Sunday.
US Deputy Secretary of State John Negroponte was ending a six-day tour of the country, during which he visited eight provinces, including former flashpoints Fallujah and Ramadi, and met national, provincial and factional leaders.
"Now progress on political reconciliation, including key national legislation as well as economic advances, is needed to consolidate the gains this far," he said.
He warned :"If progress is not made on these fronts we risk falling back into the more violent patterns of the past."
"It's one thing," he said, "to have brought the violence under some semblance of control but it's another now to follow up with the necessary reconstruction and stabilisation projects that will help guard these regions and protect them from a recurrence of this type of violence."
He added that across the country, Iraqis are preparing for the day they take full control of the country.
"It is clear that Iraqis at both local and provincial levels are standing up to take control of their territories from violent extremists." he said.

STORYLINE:
U.S. Deputy Secretary of State John Negroponte arrived in China on Wednesday, ahead of wide-ranging talks expected to touch on bilateral ties, Taiwan and the possibility of new sanctions against Iran.
In a meeting with Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao, Negroponte said the two states were increasingly joined through trade but frequently at odds over matters from Taiwan to trademarks.
Negroponte was also scheduled to meet Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi before departing on Thursday for the southern city of Guiyang.
There the sides were to hold a fifth round of their semi-annual U.S.-China Senior Dialogue, according to the U.S. Embassy in Beijing.
The U.S. Embassy said discussions would include "a broad range of bilateral and global issues," while China's
Foreign Ministry said talks would focus on "China-U.S. relations and major international and regional issues of
interest."
The U.S.-China talks come just days before a meeting next week in Berlin that would be the first among U.S.
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and their counterparts from Britain,
China, France and Germany since the U.S. National Intelligence Estimate on Iran was made public.
That assessment said Iran stopped working on a secret nuclear weapons programme in 2003, contradicting Washington's previous view that Tehran was continuing such activities.
That conclusion has stiffened Russian and Chinese opposition to harsh new sanctions on Iran.
Both Moscow and Beijing have since put renewed emphasis on negotiations with Tehran rather than tough new U.N. punishments.
Recent discussions between Washington and Beijing have also focused on China's massive trade surplus with the U.S. and efforts to end nuclear programs in North Korea.
Negroponte was scheduled to travel to Vietnam following his meetings in China.

STORYLINE
Senior US envoys arrived in Pakistan on Tuesday, for meetings in Islamabad with Pakistani leaders old and new, and for a trip to the country's northwest frontier to promote lavishly funded plans to secure a wild border region where Osama bin Laden may be hiding.
US Deputy Secretary of State John Negroponte and US Assistant Secretary of State Richard Boucher arrived in Pakistan on Tuesday and met leaders of its new government, which plans to review its role in Washington's so-called "war on terror".
On Tuesday night they had a meeting in Islamabad with the new Pakistani Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani, who earlier had been sworn in by President Pervez Musharraf in his new post.
Gilani is a loyalist of assassinated opposition leader Benazir Bhutto.
Gilani told U.S. President George W. Bush during a congratulatory telephone call on Tuesday that Pakistan would "continue to fight terrorism."
And British Prime Minister Gordon Brown sent Gilani a written message saying he wanted to "work closely with you to tackle the threat from violent extremism which affects both our countries," Gilani's office said.
Then on Wednesday, the two diplomats travelled to North West Frontier Province for talks with officials responsible for the lawless tribal areas where militant groups hold sway.
They visited "security and development sites", including a mountaintop paramilitary base near the Khyber Pass, and met government and army officials, the US Embassy said.
While the embassy provided few details, local TV channels said the pair met commanders of the Frontier Corps, the paramilitary force that Washington plans to train and equip to fight militants linked to the Taliban and al-Qaida, as well as tribal leaders.
Washington is scrambling to build bridges with Pakistani politicians who are opposed to their longtime ally, President Pervez Musharraf, whose party was routed in parliamentary elections last month.
Western nations are seeking reassurances that the new coalition government will keep up the pressure on extremist groups using Pakistan's lawless frontier as a springboard for attacks in Afghanistan and beyond.
But it was clear Pakistan's civilian rulers were rethinking counter-terrorism strategy, amid concern that a reliance on military force had provoked a bloody militant backlash.
Partners in the incoming coalition government have said they would negotiate with some militant groups - an approach that has drawn criticism from Washington, which has provided around 10 (b) billion US dollars in aid to Pakistan since it joined the US-led "war on terror" in 2001.
Many politicians in Pakistan have expressed the view that the visit of the American envoys just as the new government was taking office looked like meddling.
Washington was seeking to dispel the impression that it had propped up the unpopular and increasingly authoritarian Musharraf only because of his willingness to use the army against the Taliban and al-Qaida.
Last year, the US pledged 750 (m) million US dollars towards a five-year drive to develop impoverished areas along the Afghan frontier and to train and equip a paramilitary force based along the frontier - moves that Pakistani leaders hope will stabilise the region and dry up extremism.

STORYLINE
A senior US envoy visiting Pakistan gave a lukewarm response on Thursday to the new government's hopes for peace talks with pro-Taliban forces, saying it was not possible to negotiate with "irreconcilable elements who want to destroy our way of life."
Deputy US Secretary of State John Negroponte met this week with Pakistan's new leaders, foes of long-time American ally Pervez Musharraf who routed the president's loyalists to take control of parliament.
Partners in the new government have suggested dialogue with pro-Taliban forces blamed for escalating violence, an approach that has drawn criticism from Washington, which has provided about 10 (b) billion US dollars in aid to Pakistan since 2001.
Negroponte said on Thursday that he did not see how it would be possible to hold discussions with some "irreconcilable" militants.
"The common ground that I think we all have in discussing the issue of how to deal with violent extremism in this country, or elsewhere where it occurs in the world, is that it calls for a multifaceted approach," he told reporters at a news conference in the southern city of Karachi.
"There is no single solution. Security measures obviously are necessary when one is talking about dealing with irreconcilable elements who want to destroy our very way of life. I don't see how you can talk with those kind of people."
However, Negroponte said some hard-liners could be persuaded to participate in the democratic process.
"On the other hand there are reconcilable elements in any of these situations who hopefully can be persuaded to participate in a democratic political process as you and I would understand it," Negroponte added.
He said the US wanted to deal with the issue of militant extremism and other problems in a mutually agreeable way.
"We think it should be done through a cooperation and not through unilateral measures," he said.
Afterward, a senior lawmaker in former prime minister Nawaz Sharif's party, which holds the second largest number of parliamentary seats, sought to assure the US that the new government's counter-terrorism policy would "not only prove feasible for Pakistan but also for them."

STORYLINE
South Korea on Thursday said that it would provide Myanmar with an additional two (M) million US dollars in aid to help it recover from the devastating cyclone disaster.
Foreign Minister Yoo Myung-hwan told reporters that South Korea was also preparing to send a group of medical assistants.
His Ministry said in a statement on Wednesday that part of its aid package would include tents, medicines and water-purifying chemicals, which would be airlifted to Myanmar by next week.
South Korea already pledged to send 100-thousand US dollars worth of aid, which was to leave for the country later on Thursday.
Yoo was speaking briefly to reporters ahead of a meeting with US deputy Secretary of State John Negroponte, who was in the country as part of a three-nation Asian trip.
Cyclone Nargis battered parts of Myanmar over the weekend, leaving at least 22-thousand and 980 people dead, 42-thousand and 119 missing and hundreds of thousands homeless, according to the country's official media.
However, an American diplomat who heads the US embassy in Yangon said the number of dead could eventually exceed 100-thousand since safe food and water were scarce and unsanitary conditions widespread.

T.J. Clark shows how Picasso’s first history painting, Guernica, changed the way he thought about space. The lecture was part of the 2011 Winter Lecture series held by the http://www.lrb.co.uk/
In this talk, T.J. Clark refers to, among others, a photo of John Negroponte standing in front of Guernica at the UN, protest placards that appropriate Guernica, the 1937 Spanish Pavilion at the Paris World’s Fair, Portrait of a Young Girl (1914), Guernica (1937), Dora Maar’s photos of Guernica in progress, sketch for Guernica of 1 May 1937, sketch for Guernica of 2 May 1937, sketch for Guernica of 9 May 1937 and The Three Dancers (1925).
This lecture eventually became Chapter 6 in Picasso and Truth: From Cubism to Guernica, which appeared in June from Princeton.
ABOUT THE LRB
Since 1979, the London Review of Books has stood up for the tradition of the literary and intellectual essay in English. Each issue contains up to 15 long reviews and essays by academics, writers and journalists. There are also shorter art and film reviews, as well as poems and a lively letters page.
A typical issue moves through political commentary to science or ancient history by way of literary criticism and social anthropology. So, for example, an issue can open with a piece on the rhetoric of war, move on to reassessing the reputation of Pythagoras, follow that with articles on the situation in Iraq, the 19th-century super-rich, Nabokov’s unpublished novel, how saints got to be saints, the life and work of William Empson, and an assessment of the poetry of Alice Oswald.
