What Did Pakistan Know? Ctd

Joe Klein is fed up with Pakistan:

Pakistan should no longer be regarded as a U.S. ally. Bin Laden was hiding in plain sight, right down the road from a significant Pakistani army facility. They had to know–as Hillary Clinton has been insisting on every recent trip to the region.

Goldblog isn't so sure:

[K]nowing Pakistan as I do (not as well as Steve [Coll] does, to be sure, but I still have a bit of experience there), it is completely plausible to me that Bin Laden was hiding in plain sight, really, actually hiding, without the knowledge of, among others, senior military officials in Abbottabad. Those who assume that certain elements with the Pakistani government knew where he was are assuming that those elements communicated with the actual power centers of Pakistani governance; they assume that Bin Laden ever showed his face in Abbottabad; and they assume the existence of a culture of inquiry and curiosity that doesn't necessarily exist in Pakistan (nosiness in Pakistan only gets you into trouble).
