Oops! Valerie Plame version 2

An official of the Directorate for Inter-Services Intelligence, Pakistan’s top spy organization, angrily denied on Saturday that it was responsible for revealing the name of the Central Intelligence Agency’s top clandestine officer in Pakistan. “We absolutely deny this accusation, which is totally unsubstantiated and based on nothing but conjecture,” a senior ISI official said in a background briefing at the headquarters of the spy organization in Islamabad.

The top C.I.A. officer in Pakistan was removed yesterday after American officials said the C.I.A. station chief had received a number of death threats since being publicly identified in a legal complaint sent to the Pakistani police this week by the family of victims of earlier drone campaigns.

“This organization has immense tolerance. We have cooperated to the hilt despite constant allegations leveled against us. But this story is the biggest bomb shell,”the official said referring to the article published in The New York Times yesterday.

Claiming that the allegation had greater implications, the official said that the article seemed “intended to create rifts between the ISI and C.I.A.”

2. I'll second your spot on.
There are just too many ways that this type of warfare (terrorism?) is disgusting to count.

Murder via video game, how lovely.
