A few difficulties with this interview - such as stating the obvious. Ending a question with "It just doesn't look good." "Doesn't it strain credulity?" "Isn't this an embarrassment? Yes, of course it does, it is. Ask more pointed questions!
Also, she played back a section of the interview she'd done with Senator Kerry. I would have zeroed in more on Kerry's complaint that we had been misled (aka lied to) regarding where Bin Laden had to have been. These open ended questions - what would you say to Sen. Kerry?" instead of - have you misled US Senators? The US government. And Ambassador Haqqani claims this is not the day to focus on those misdirections. Clear follow up - when would be the time?
In Pakistan 2+2 doesn't always equal 4. Seriously! He claims that.
The Pakistanis seem to be going with - we're stupid rather than we're complicit.
Anyway, listen to Melissa Block interview the Pakistani ambassador to the USA, Husain Haqqani here
