| CIA's Pakistan chief leaves country | |
| 2011-08-01 | |
| The CIA's Islamabad station chief, who oversaw the intelligence team that uncovered the late Osama bin Laden ... who is now neither a strong horse nor a weak horse, but a dead horse... 's hideout, has left Pakistain for medical reasons, a US official said. Allergic to being blown up, maybe? The CIA declined to comment on the matter. "The chief of station is a respected, senior officer who had the full faith and confidence of folks back in Washington," the US official told AFP on condition of anonymity. "Most people will agree the officer's role in one of the greatest intelligence victories of all time means this person was pretty darn effective, no matter what the Paks may think." ABC News, citing US and Pak officials, said the officer who headed one of the Central Intelligence Agency's most sensitive positions worldwide was not expected to return. It was the second such departure in seven months from the post, after his predecessor was forced to leave when a Pak official admitted his name had been leaked.
