Jeffers, thanks for your insight here, particularly concerning Karzai. That was something I didn't know, and gives me a bit more to think about.
Regarding Omar and the satphone, I'm sure there are many possible motives from various directions that could lead to disclosure of the information. The fact that some people wanted it out in open source is interesting. There is a lot going on here, and the mainstream media seems to be oblivious.
Watch the mainstream media descend on the region once again when there's a whiff of another big fish capture. As long as there are operations in progress, the Pak Government would do well to keep a tight lid on any such disclosures.
