A report by the CSIS Post-Conflict Reconstruction Project, "A Perilous Course: U.S. Strategy and Assistance in Pakistan," was quoted by the Washington Post, "Democracy Gets Small Portion of U.S. Aid."
Two years before Benazir Bhutto was assassinated while leading her Pakistan People's Party in its campaign against the rule of President Pervez Musharraf, the Bush administration devoted this much new aid money to strengthen political parties in Pakistan: $0 . . .
A recent study of aid to Pakistan by the Center for Strategic and International Studies calculated that, excluding covert funds, the United States has provided more than $10 billion to Pakistan since 2001, about half of that through poorly accounted "reimbursement" of expenses incurred in the war against al-Qaeda and Taliban.
