Leaking the names of CIA operatives is a vindictive thing. I remember Dick Cheney and his cohorts doing it when somebody exposed one of their 'exaggerations' - and now the Pakistani leaders are doing it in revenge as well.

Pakistanis name CIA station chief; U.S. suspects retaliation
Washington Post, Monday, May 9, 4:33 PM

Stung by criticism at home and in the United States following a U.S. raid that killed Osama bin Laden in a city north of the capital, Pakistan’s intelligence service may have leaked the name of the CIA station chief in retaliation, U.S. officials said Monday.

It's hard to believe that Pakistan didn't know about the raid occuring that night. They had to fly nearly 750 miles from the sea to Abbottabad. The Pakistanis might have been kept in the dark about who was the intended target to avoid leaks.

Quote:
The US and Pakistan struck a secret deal almost a decade ago permitting a US operation against Osama bin Laden on Pakistani soil similar to last week's raid that killed the al-Qaida leader, the Guardian has learned.


Quote:
Under its terms, Pakistan would allow US forces to conduct a unilateral raid inside Pakistan in search of Bin Laden, his deputy, Ayman al-Zawahiri, and the al-Qaida No3. Afterwards, both sides agreed, Pakistan would vociferously protest the incursion.
