OUR PAKISTANI ALLIES AT WORK – AT 8:04 A.M. ET:  The Pakistanis are notorious double dealers, but this takes the prize.  From Fox:

WASHINGTON -- Pakistan's intelligence service has arrested the owner of a safe house rented to the CIA to observe Usama bin Laden's compound before the U.S. raid that killed the Al Qaeda leader, as well as a "handful" of other Pakistanis, a U.S. official said late Tuesday.

In Pakistan, a Western official confirmed a New York Times report that five of the Pakistani informants who fed information to the CIA before the May 2 bin Laden raid were arrested by Pakistan's top military spy agency, the Inter-Services Intelligence agency, known as ISI.

The officials spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive intelligence matters.

The Times, in an article posted on its website late Tuesday, said the detained informants included a Pakistani army major who officials said copied the license plates of cars visiting bin Laden's compound in Abbottabad in the weeks before the raid.

COMMENT:  This will certainly encourage other Pakistanis to work with the United States in the war against terror.  You'd think the Pakistanis would be smart enough to look the other way on something like this, and show that they are true allies.  The problem is, they're not.  And it's a problem, considering that Pakistan has nuclear weapons, that can come back to bite us in the worst way.
