Last month, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton informed Congress that U.S. national security interests required a waiver of statutory limitations on security aid to Pakistan.  “The Secretary’s accompanying justification for the waiver was delivered in classified form,” a newly updated report from the Congressional Research Service noted, adding that the waiver “appeared extremely difficult to justify” in view of Pakistan’s uneven cooperation with U.S. and NATO forces.  See Pakistan: U.S. Foreign Assistance, updated October 4, 2012
