Pakistan Source Under Cover When U.S. Confirmed Name
ISLAMABAD/LONDON (Reuters)


U.S. officials providing justification for anti-terrorism alerts revealed details about a Pakistani secret agent, and confirmed his name while he was working under cover in a sting operation, Pakistani sources said on Friday.

A Pakistani intelligence source told Reuters Mohammad Naeem Noor Khan, who was arrested in Lahore secretly last month, had been actively cooperating with intelligence agents to help catch al Qaeda operatives when his name appeared in U.S. newspapers.

"After his capture he admitted being an al Qaeda member and agreed to send e-mails to his contacts," a Pakistani intelligence source told Reuters. "He sent encoded e-mails and received encoded replies. He's a great hacker and even the U.S. agents said he was a computer whiz." ..

"When we find out intelligence that is real, that threatens people, I believe we have an obligation as government to share that with people," Bush told journalists. ..

2. More evidence of Bush's incompetency.
What more can we expect? Bush is just not capable of rational thought.
