#1 Again, iff Islamabad = PAK GOVT. is indeed in control of both Al-Qaeda + the Taliban, etc. then an argument can be made that Islamabad attacked the US diplomatic convoy [act of war] by proxy because only Islamabad could order it, correct???

* OTOH PAKISTANI DEFENCE FORUM > FORMER US DEFENSE SECRETARY RUMSFIELD GIVES BEST[est evar!] DEFENSE OF PAKISTAN ON BIN LADEN RAID | RUMSFIELD WARNS OF [premature]"RUSH TO JUDGEMENT" AGZ PAKISTAN. Better a wise state adversary-enemy than a stupid ally, aka BETTER IN US INTERESTS TO STICK WID A DEDIC DEMON/DEVIL WHOSE HABITS WE ALREADY KNOW THAN THE UNKNOWN???

#2 I am starting to suspect the traditional picture of Pakistain as the government, the ISI and the military is a gross and inaccurate simplification and there are, in reality, many different factions, both open and hidden, within each of those organizations, all plotting for and against each other at various times. This is why we get conflicting reports about such-and-such did/did not have any involvement or knowledge in the recent bin Laden whacking.
