>>>Tenet said they informed Pakistan a few hours in advance, Clinton said it was only minutes. Whatever time it was, it was enough for Bin Laden & co. to escape. That was the incompetent part.<<<
It's my understanding that they had no choice but to inform Pakistan since US missiles targeting Afghanistan could have been mistaken for Indian missiles targeting Pakistan. Not sure you can call an attempt to prevent war between two nuclear powers incompetence. I think a better question is: What kind of an ally in the war on terror is Pakistan if their top government officials have a hotline to bin Laden's cave and keep him up to date on US intelligence?
