You can see the problem here. The U.S. goverment couldn't inform Pakistan that we had a mole there and to leave him alone, because the Paks are pretty much on the wrong side of this war. Khan would have wound up dead.
So at the urging of the U.S. to "get tough on the terrorists", the Paks arrested our guy - by pure luck, no doubt.
Then we had to tell them he was one of ours. No doubt in my mind that it was the Paks who called the NYT.

That would be a feather in Bushes cap...
No wonder this is so confusing.

Wait a minute, the LA Times is saying that Khan is a cousin of Babar Ahmad who is a definite bad guy!
