US Spy In Pakistan Outed As White House Demands Intelligence From Bin Laden Raid

Hadn't caught that about who flew the choppers. All the focus seems to have been on the SEALs.

Thanks.

I'm confused

If the U.S. was the one who spearheaded the raid then why are they asking Pakistan for intel about the same raid?
Was the chinese correct in saying that Pakistan spearheaded everything and the U.S. just took credit?

Nothing about this entire Bin Laden story makes any sense, too many holes

The US has been very careful in it's wording of US/Pakistan relations calling it a 'tactical relationship' as opposed to a 'friendship'. This speaks volumes to those who are sticklers for words like myself.

the CIA just wants to censor what info is being
given to the masses. Pakistan did the cleanup
of the compound. Who knows what evidence
they have? It's a CYA for the CIA.

would love to hear Pak say that was NOT
OBL's blood in the bedroom. The whole
story would fall on it's @r$e.

USA meddling in affairs of other nations & violating sovereignty = "Success for the security"

Saudi Arabia, a ruthless dictatorship, is the only one who had anything resembling the truth to say about the alleged execution. Wow.

Pakistani PM: Bin Laden death was 'justice done'

The Associated Press has learned that the name being reported is incorrect. Still, the publication of any alleged identity of the U.S. spy agency's top official in this country could be pushback from Pakistan's powerful military and Inter-Services Intelligence agency in retaliation for the American raid.

On Friday, the private TV channel ARY broadcast what it said was the current CIA station chief's name. The Nation, a right-wing newspaper, picked up the story Saturday.

ARY's news director, Mazhar Abbas, said the television station's reporter gleaned the name from a source. He defended the broadcast, saying it was "based on fact" and rejected suggestions the name was leaked to the television channel by an official with a motive.

The AP is not publishing the station chief's name because he is undercover and his identity is classified.

A U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of discussing CIA personnel issues, told the AP that there are no plans to remove the station chief from Pakistan.

A spokesman for Pakistani intelligence declined to comment.

Asad Munir, a former intelligence chief with responsibility for Pakistan's militant-populated tribal areas, said very few people know the name of the CIA station chief in Islamabad. But he said that releasing it would not necessarily jeopardize the American's safety.

"Normally people in intelligence have cover names," Munir said. "Only if there is a photograph to identify him could it put his life in danger."
