SENIOR ADMINISTRATION OFFICIAL: ìLet me just make one editorial comment here. Iíve seen some press reporting says, ëCheney went in to beat up on them, threaten them.í Thatís not the way I work. I donít know who writes that, or maybe somebody gets it from some source who doesnít know what Iím doing, or isnít involved in it. But the idea that Iíd go in and threaten someone is an invalid misreading of the way I do business.
ìI would describe my sessions both in Pakistan and Afghanistan as very productive. Weíve had notable successes in both places. Iíve often said before and I believe itís still true that weíve captured and killed more al Qaeda in Pakistan than anyplace else. And I think weíre making progress in Afghanistan.î
