I reject the “in anger” narrative. Looks like a coordinated move to reduce local US asset effectiveness.

So what do we do if this results in the CIA station chief being harmed or kidnapped? Give Pakistan the weekly "you're either with us or against us" talking to and a few more F-16s?

Just like all of those “arrests” they’ve made over the last week. I’ve suspected it’s the ISI arresting everyone they could find that may have had any contact with our intel group over the last few months.
A big contingent of the ISI is probably ticked off that we took out their buddy OBL.

OK. So NOW can we add Pakistan to the list of goat-humping sh*thole countries that we need to invade, overthrow, and occupy?

Second time it’s happened. Won’t get nearly the press of Plamegate (which was BS to begin with on several counts).

Wouldn’t the “CIA chief” be a registered agent working out of the US embassy? Since when is the “chief” a covert agent?

Nope, keep the F-16 gravy train chugging along as some folks want.

As a matter of convention, countries rarely reveal names of spy chiefs. This is a serious development even if he was using an alias. The ISI is devious enough to have photographs and fingerprints among other things of these officials. You can either shift him to some obscure position in Langley or expose him to harm elsewhere.

It's my understanding that the chief's identity is something “everyone knows” and a serious enemy could find our easily. A couple were killed back in the 70’s/80’s.
