"Pakistan’s military wary of infiltrators; Attack on base stirs suspicions" by Karin Brulliard, Washington Post / May 31, 2011
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — Embarrassed by the Osama bin Laden raid and insurgent attacks on high-security sites, top Pakistani military officials are increasingly concerned that their ranks are penetrated by Islamists who are aiding militants in a campaign against the state.
Those worries have grown especially acute since the killing of bin Laden less than a mile from a prestigious military academy. The infiltration by heavily armed insurgents last week of a naval base in the city of Karachi — an attack widely believed to have required inside help — has only deepened fears.

Yeah, I let the long-dead man rest now.
The Army’s chief, General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani, who, like the government, has expressed anger over the secret US raid, was so shaken by the discovery of bin Laden that he told US officials his first priority was “bringing our house in order,’’ according to a senior Pakistani intelligence official.
Smells like psyop prop.
“We are under attack, and the attackers are getting highly confidential information about their targets,’’ the intelligence official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
In the form of CIA agents posing as diplomats.
Pakistani intelligence agents have begun rounding up dismissed navy personnel over suspicions that militants who carried out the attack on the Karachi naval base had inside knowledge, the Associated Press reported yesterday, citing security officials....
The use of therm is insulting once you realize 9/11 was an inside job.
It is unclear how authentically committed Kayani and other top military leaders are to cleansing their ranks. US officials and Pakistani analysts say support by the nation’s top military spy agency for insurgent groups, particularly those that attack in India and Afghanistan, is de facto security policy in Pakistan.
But Kayani is under profound pressure, both from a domestic population fed up with insurgent attacks and from an international community that views the bin Laden hideout as the strongest evidence yet Pakistan is playing a double game.
And that CIA man trying to move nuclear and biological material to CIA-duh?

Oh, right, I forgot. Murk.
US officials say they have no evidence top Pakistani leaders knew about bin Laden’s redoubt, but they are still examining intelligence gathered during the raid.
Translation: We may have some faked and forged stuff to throw at them later (if needed).
Some say they doubt Kayani or Lieutenant General Ahmad Shuja Pasha, head of the military’s Inter-Services Intelligence directorate, had direct knowledge; others find it hard to believe they did not.
I find it hard to believe Americans are served up this slop as news day after day.
US officials have emphasized billions of dollars in US aid could end if Pakistan is found to have harbored the Al Qaeda leader.
They want to take the money away, okay.
