United States vs. Manning

		QUESTION: Does the U.S. ambassador in Mexico, Carlos Pascual, does he still have your confidence after the WikiLeaks scandals? (In Spanish.) SECRETARY CLINTON: Well, I deeply regret the WikiLeaks situation, and I've told President Calderon that. But I do really appreciate what Ambassador Pascual has done in his time as our ambassador because he's worked closely with many parts of the Mexican Government. We are close friends and partners with Mexico but we don't always agree on everything, as no two countries do. And so I'm going to continue to really support the important work that's being done, and it will be up to the ambassador to determine how effective he can be going forward

		QUESTION: You know there's been a flare-up on the WikiLeaks issue because the president has expressed very little confidence in the U.S. Ambassador to Mexico. Is he going to be there? Do you have confidence in the U.S. Ambassador? (Speaking in Spanish.) SECRETARY CLINTON: Well, this was a very unfortunate situation. I spoke personally with President Calderon about it and expressed our regret. But at the same time, the Ambassador has been very instrumental in working to make sure that the United States Government responded to the Mexican needs. I think the Ambassador will make an assessment as to whether or not he can continue to be as helpful as he has been in the past'
