The US - Pakistan relationship seems to be a very interesting case.
On the surface, it appears that the two nations have deep and severe differences. There are frequent violent anti-US demonstrations in Pakistan's large cities, giving a public perception of serious friction.
But consider:
a) Pakistan is our access corridor to Afghanistan.
b) So many high level terrorists have been captured or killed in Pakistan.
c) There was much close coordination between the US and Pakistani military in the 80s when we provided lots of material support to the anti-Soviet fighters next door in Afghanistan.
Maybe this perception of problems between the USA and Pakistan is purposely maintained in order to give terrorists the false impression that it's some sort of safe haven.

That is why we were lied to concerning Pakistan's involvement. I'm not sure what good it is to lie about something when everyone knows it's a lie though.
