>>It's my understanding that they had no choice but to inform Pakistan <<

That was more of a Washington opinion. There's another opinion that it could have been kept a clandestine mission until after the target was hit. If the outbreak of nuclear war was such a real threat, they should have come up with another strategy that didn't involve firing missiles over Pakistan.

>>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?<<

The worst kind. The country that has the most to offer us in the war on terror is the one we can trust the least. I think the suicide bomber targeting Cheney a few weeks ago in Afghanistan shows how much of this crap is still going on. Did they ever say how the Taliban/al Qaeda knew he was there? We still have massive intel leaks going on. Not good.
