US tells Pakistan to name agents who aided bin Laden

Source: NY Times

WASHINGTON — Pakistani officials say the Obama administration has demanded the identities of some of their top intelligence operatives as the United States tries to determine whether any of them had contact with Osama bin Laden or his agents in the years before the raid that led to his death early Monday morning in Pakistan.

The officials provided new details of a tense discussion between Pakistani officials and an American envoy who traveled to Pakistan on Monday, as well as the growing suspicion among United States intelligence and diplomatic officials that someone in Pakistan’s secret intelligence agency knew of Bin Laden’s location, and helped shield him

A former Pakistani official noted that Abbottabad, the site of the Pakistani equivalent of the West Point military academy, is crawling with security guards and military officials who established a secure cordon around the town, raising questions of how the officials could not know there was a suspicious compound in their midst.

“If he was there since 2005, that is too long a time for local police and intelligence not to know,” said Hassan Abbas, a former Pakistani official now teaching at Columbia University.

You have to guess that there is some evidence on Bin Ladin's computers that identifies who in Pakistan worked with him, and the U.S. is pushing Pakistan to cooperate knowing that it can call them out on lies that are directly contradicted by the evidence.

when I heard of "The OBL Kill" ...

"Gee, I wonder if Obama cleared this with the Bush Crime Family?"

How could Pakistan not know? Sheesh.

G.W "I'm not that concerned about OBL" Bush probably knew too.

They were keeping Bin Laden in reserve to extract more
Billions in yearly aid (currently we are paying them $3+ Billion
every year) when they needed a few extra Billions in "bakshish".

My thoughts exactly. We have the list of people who protected OBL and now we want to check Pakistani credibility.

Pakistan is going to wish they had never started this terrorist strategy. It failed all around but is working great against their own country hahahaha.

It's a bit like the old saw: "Treason never prospers." When you add the bit almost everone leaves off. "For if it doth prosper, none dare call it treason."

Just how many of today's terrorist organisations are former CIA (NSA, DEA, etc) assets, either gone rogue or simply abandoned to their own devices when their purposes were served or rendered otherwise irrelevant?

How many "evil leaders brought low" over recent decades rose to their seats of power with the help of the United States in the first place?

Just how much of the shit going on today, is happening because the US and US backed interests keep stiring the pot in order for companies there to achieve maximum return for minimal capital outlay? I know the US is not alone in these shenanigans, however they have been rather prominent in their actions around the world for over half a century now.

"US and US backed interests keep stiring the pot in order for companies there to achieve maximum return for minimal capital outlay? I know the US is not alone in these shenanigans..." Exactly... All wars are economically based in one way or another since the first 'stone throwers'. Read Maj. Gen. Smedley Butler's. "War is a Racket".

Esp. for an egomaniac.

of elites will be feeling the heat.
