For the second day in a row, here’s State Department spokesman Robert Wood eliding the issueof how to conditionalize aid to Pakistan and Afghanistan. He’s asked about President Asif Ali Zardari’s blessing of the Swat peace deal with the Taliban:

We’re going to continue to have discussions with the Government of Pakistan on these issues.

If only there were some kind of mechanism for accountability that the Obama administration could employ here.
