Pakistan Outs CIA Chief in Country

Pakistan, reeling from the revelation that Osama bin Laden was not far from the capital Islamabad, has reasserted its friendship with the United States.

On the other hand, it is outing the name of a CIA station chief in the country:

In a sign of how bad ties are between the two countries, Pakistani media on Saturday once again publicly named the CIA station chief in Islamabad, a breach of both protocol and trust, that is bound to enrage Washington.

A Pakistani TV channel and a newspaper considered mouthpieces of the country's military said the ISI chief Ahmed Shuja Pasha had met CIA station chief Mark Carlton to protest US incursion into Abbottabad to kill al-Qaida chief Osama bin Laden. CIA station chiefs remain anonymous and unnamed in public although the host government is told.

This would, and should, piss off the United States. Pakistan is playing a stupid double game.

H/T Ace.
