#2 The real question is: is the 2004 deal still good today? If so, that means Champ has signed off on it. Do his supporters understand that?

#3 The ISI and CIA also agreed that all drone flights in Pakistan would operate under the American agency's "covert action authority", which meant that the US would never acknowledge the missile strikes and that Pakistan would either take credit for the individual killings or remain silent.

Same sort of arrangement made concerning Abbottabad, just a bit more complex, ie, air corridors, WH situation room stills, movies, books, scapegoat doctor, etc. You know the deal.

Methinks the NYT is trying to tiptoe a fine line; ingratiating themselves with their readership while trying to insulate the current occupant of the White House.
