>> it goes on. richard, thanks.

>>> across the border in pakistan secretary of state hillary clinton faced more questions from citizens who are angry about u.s. policy there. one woman told her that using aerial drones to target terrorists amounted to, in her words, executions without trial. our chief foreign affairs correspondent andrea mitchell 's traveling with secretary of state clinton. today she asked the secretary about her tough talk yesterday to pakistan 's leaders and the equally tough questions that pakistani students have been asking her.

>> when you went and talked to the university students, you went in -- you came across a wall of resistance, suspicion, low-grade anger. they challenged you. they said, you know, why should we trust you? america has betrayed us in the past. how do you deal with that?

>> we know that that is the feeling harbored by many people in pakistan . i wanted to get that out on the table because the pakistanis have talked about a trust deficit. and it's a two-way street. we have questions. they have questions. we need to be responding, and we need to be as open as possible. so i thought it was actually very healthy, that there was no false politeness.

>> that audience was silent. there was no applause.

>> but think about it, andrea. think about what they have experienced about their perception and about the fear that they're now living with. remember, young students are more likely to say the things that other people are thinking. i would have had some of the same tough questions. in fact, i was thinking back. there was one young woman who was standing up and she was very kind about me personally and all the kinds of things that people say.

>> and then she let you have it.

>> and then she came with a zinger, and i thought, oh, my gosh, there but for accident of birth go i.

>> you said, you know, "i'm not going to dance around the issues."

>> right.

>> and you were blunt. and then you basically laid out the suspicions that americans and the american government has long had, that the pakistani government missed opportunities, did not go after al qaeda aggressively enough, provided, as you described, a safe haven for al qaeda since 2002 . people are really angry about that, in the government and outside the government. were you too blunt?

>> oh, i don't think so. they understand that if we're talking about the kind of partnership that i believe we should be, that it is not just a one-way street. i am more than happy to both take responsibility for some of the past problems that have existed, offer a new way forward , but i think it's important if this is going to be the open and cooperative relationship that i believe is in both of our interests, that we express some of our concerns as well.
