#4 Bright Pebbles,
It's possible (speculation) that we knew too. All the easier to track the visiting ants back to their home countries. Intelligence gathering trumps justice almost every time. Now whether the Paks knew that we knew is a further speculation, once removed.

#6 I don't think democracy is a desire of either side of Pak gov't. It's just a necessary evil for gaining access to graft & corruption. Just like in the US.
