Who ratted out Osama? The US Secretary of Defense says it's the Pakistani doctor who is under arrest in his home country. So you can go for Occam's Razor, and choose the simplest explanation, and accept what SecDef is saying. On the other hand, given the Pakistanis want him tried for "high treason", why confirm their suspicions and essentially condemn the fellow. Wouldn't it make sense to divert attention from your main man by pointing fingers at someone else? Who knows.
· We find the Pakistan government position untenable. And no, it's not because as SecDef says Pakistan and US are on the same side, implying the man should be regarded as a hero or whatever. Everyone knows Pakistan and US are NOT on the same side but are enemies in the matter of the GWOT, the Taliban, AQ and so on.
· If Pakistan wants to try the man for high treason, it is clearly saying that OBL was of the highest importance to the security of the Pakistan state. This is untenable, because Pakistan is condemning itself by taking this stand.
· UK Independent has the story of how Osama was likely found through the doctorhttp://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/doctor-who-led-us-to-bin-laden-was-cia-agent-says-us-6296129.html
