Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Friday that the United States had held a preliminary meeting with representatives of the Haqqani network... even as Washington demanded that Pakistan take a tougher line on the group.

a couple of basic facts got obscured, so I re-edited the snip:

...Clinton, in Islamabad with a heavyweight team of U.S. military and intelligence leaders, warned that tough action would have to be taken against Afghan and Pakistani militants if they did not cooperate in efforts to stabilize Afghanistan and pursue peace... "We have reached out to the Taliban, we have reached out to the Haqqani network to test their willingness and their sincerity, and we are now working among us -- Afghanistan, Pakistan and the United States -- to try to put together a process that would sequence us toward an actual negotiation," Clinton said.
