58:18Now PlayingThis week on "Q&A," our guest is Pamela Constable, author of a new narrative detailing the political, cultural, and religious complexities existing in modern day Pakistan. She portrays a country riddled with corruption, devastated by floods, and terrorized by Islamic extremists. She describes the divide between rural and urban justice along with the high level of mistrust between allied military and intelligence interests in Islamabad and Washington. She discusses the hostility felt by citizens of Pakistan towards America, despite having received millions of dollars in aid from the United States over the years. Constable recounts her early influences as a writer and speaks of a near death experience as a reporter in Afghanistan.
