The al-Qaida suspect named by U.S. officials as the source of information that led to this week’s terrorist alerts was working undercover, Pakistani intelligence sources said Friday, putting an end to the sting operation and forcing Pakistan to hide the man in a secret location
Intelligence and security experts said they were surprised that Washington would reveal information that could expose the name of a source during an ongoing law enforcement operation.

“If it’s true that the Americans have unintentionally revealed the identity of another nation’s intelligence agent, who appears to be working in the good of all of us, that is not only a fundamental intelligence flaw. It’s also a monumental foreign relations blunder,” security expert Paul Beaver, a former publisher of Jane’s Defense Weekly, told Reuters.

We have considerable experience in exposing our own people when they are undercover. No worries. It's only one life, someone else can take the three years to infiltrate the organization again.

This had nothing to do with the pussy liberals jumping up and down claiming the Orange Alert was politically motivated.

Ummmm

Under pressure to justify the alerts in three Northeastern cities, U.S. officials confirmed a report by The New York Times that the man, Mohammad Naeem Noor Khan, was the source of the intelligence that led to the decision.
Monday evening, after Khan’s name appeared, Pakistani officials moved him to a secret location.
The Times published a story Monday saying U.S. officials had disclosed that a man arrested in Pakistan was the source of the bulk of information leading to the security alerts. The Times identified him as Khan, although it did not say how it had learned his name
Met, that's a leak, someone leaked it to the Times and it was the article that made him go into hiding. They didn't release the name to shut up the liberals, you must be able to see that, it was leaked from whatever agency, CIA, FBI OHS are probably the only three choices there that would have had this info besides the White House, so take your pick from the 4 above. And if what you said was true, that they'd give up a guy in that high ranking a position that was a fucking spy to shut the press up, they truely are even LESS qualified to run this "War on Terror" then I thought

Has there been any indication anywhere that the US was aware that this man was a spy? Not saying they didn't, but it seems to me that they might not necessarily know another's country's intelligence gathering operatives.

Too often it seems it is the peaceful and innocent who are slaughtered. In this a lesson may be found that it may not be prudential to be either too peaceful or too innocent. One does not survive with wolves by becoming a sheep.

Even if they didn't know he was a spy, why would anyone say that the information they received was from so and so? You just end up closing the door for future information.

Maybe someone made a mistake and figured {insert generic middle-eastern name here} was a captured terrorist, not a current intelligence operative.
