so this is an issue that is dividing the country, not just by sex by by belief and by custom. do we believe that this is actually going to lead to other rights for women, that they ll be able to gain rights ondriving? well, with the women that i ve toukd to, this is very clear. they feel that the right to drive is a very small thing. they still want the right to vote, they want to be able to travel freely, to open a bank account, without having to ask their husbands or male guardians. so for a lot of women this is just a first step. but as you can see with manal s example, it is a very, very difficult uphill battle just for the right to drive. atika shubert, thank you so much for that excellent report. as we just reported a few minutes ago, a u.s. official is telling cnn that osama bin laden considered seeking a deal with pakistan to protect al qaeda leaders and al qaeda would refrain from attacking pakistan
malveaux. i want to get you up to speed for friday, may 27th. secretary of state hillary clinton is in pakistan today to smooth things over with the government leaders. they are still angry over the secret u.s. raid that killed bin laden. sources say clinton told the pakistanis that american aid is on the line, unless they do more to rout out terrorists. today we discussed in even greater detail cooperation to disrupt, dismantle and defeat al qaeda and to drive them from pakistan and the region. we will do our part. and we look to the government of pakistan to take decisive steps in the days ahead. a cia forensics team will also be heading to pakistan. pakistan will let cia experts scrub osama bin laden s compound for evidence. now, the team will use sophisticated technology to look for anything hidden in the walls or the ceilings or items that are buried on the grounds. the patriot act gets a four-year extension. this was just minutes before that law was set to expire.
