A Rope and a Prayer
A Kidnapping From Two Sides
Event
At this Dec. 3, 2010, event, New America Foundation President Steve Coll hosted a discussion with David Rohde and Kristen Mulvihill to discuss Rohde’s captivity in Pakistan's tribal areas and Mulvihill’s interactions with U.S. and Pakistani officials as she tried to win his release. The discussion touched on a variety of policy issues, including: Is the Pakistani army simply unable to deliver on promises to rein in militants operating in the tribal areas? Or is it intentionally undermining the Obama administration's strategy in the region? And how should the Obama administration deal with Pakistan?
