Pakistan Better Stop the Tap Dance and Start Talking

From Daily Caller:

Pakistan has some splainin' to do -- The luxurious compound where bin Laden may have lived for several years wasn't a secret to the Pakistanis. Abbottabad, the Pakistani town just outside of the capitol, is home to a military college and several military units. "It is very much off the usual track for foreigners … and I simply do not believe Bin Laden could hide there unaided by, or unknown to, the Pakistanis," a U.S. military official told Yahoo! News. British diplomat Sir Christopher Meyertold the New York Times that "some" in the Pakistani government "have been complicit in concealing Osama bin Laden for a very long time.” Over at Real Clear World, Ben Domenech trades his old Pakistan query ("To what degree Pakistan was merely useless vs. actively undermining our efforts") for a more pressing one: "Who in Pakistan's government knew Osama was there, and how long did they know it?" Says Jeff Goldberg: "Pakistan has a great deal of explaining to do -- how could Bin Laden have been living near Islamabad, in a city, Abbotttabad, that is in some ways a military cantonment?" 

It's been suspected for quite some time that Pakistan was somewhat or completely complicit in hiding bin Laden. We'd like to believe they're allies, but we'd be wrong.  It's quite telling that we did not notify the Pakistani government before we went in yesterday.  Too much risk that they would have tipped him off.
