President Bill Clinton made a brief visit to Pakistan on March 25, 2000. “He intentionally avoided the topic of bin Laden in meetings at which ISI [Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence] officials were present and saved his pleas for his one-on-one session with [leader Pervez] Musharraf. ‘I offered him the moon when I went to see him, in terms of better relations with the United States, if he’d help us get bin Laden and deal with another issue or two,’ Clinton later recounted.”
