#2 Don't they mean alleged informants?

How do we know it's not some dude with a lovely wife coveted by some ISI Major?

Radio said one was the owner of the house the CIA used to spy on Binny. I'm sure the CIA advertised their identiy AND their mission to the owner. It's probably on all the Pak application to rent forms - "Are you a CIA Tool? Yes? No? Not Sure? Circle one."

#3 The US skunked them so bad by nailing binny while he was under their protection, that they have to take revenge against *somebody*.

But that hypersensitivity is useful. For example, before if we knew that an ISI chieftain was dirty, and we told the Pakis, they would just shrug. But now, if we "inform" them that *we* know he's dirty, it will be like announcing we are planning to 'hit' him like binny. He'll run for the hills, or better yet, try to trade us his confederates in exchange for *not* putting a cap in him.

#5 This action clearly says -

1. they were never seriously looking for Ben Laden
2. they are on the other side
