2. I expect Americans will begin "clamoring" for a cut in aid to Pakistan
Other than that, I don't know what will come of this discovery.

3. That's Indias job
Not ours. Though we might want to re-examine our policy of propping up Pakistan to keep India from becoming too powerful.

8. Most of the commentators I've heard today who actually know the area
say that it is absurd to believe that even the SEALS could have gotten in without Pakistan's cooperation.

10. I think this is probably the true story.

Someone high up in Al Qaeda wanted OBL out of the picture, so they contacted the ISI to pass along information to the Americans on OBL's whereabouts. The ISI passed it along and the Pak gov't looked the other way as the raid went in to get him.
