WASHINGTON – The U.S. and Pakistani governments moved swiftly Monday to say that a trove of leaked U.S. military documents paints a dated and incomplete portrait of Pakistan as an untrustworthy partner against militants who use the country as a safe zone.

Both countries said the secret documents don’t reflect Pakistan’s recent cooperation against militant networks on its side of the border with Afghanistan.

The Obama administration also acknowledged that despite a $7.5 billion aid package, U.S. authorities aren’t fully satisfied with Pakistan’s response.
