On the other question, it strains credulity that "Operation Neptune Spear" could have taken place without any Pakistani assistance.  After all, US helicopters flew from their base in Jalalabad in Afghanistan to Abbottabad, some 250 kilometers away inside Pakistan, flying over some of the most militarized areas in the country.  The Pakistanis claim that the Bin Laden compound had been investigated previously by the ISI and that they had shared information about it with the United States. since 2009. US officials dispute that contention, claiming they did not know of the Bin Laden compound until last August.  Finally, the CIA rented a house near the Bin Laden compound for surveillance, and it is logical to conclude that at least some Pakistani authorities had known that this had been done and why.

…

Perhaps confirming the view that the Pakistan government may have known about the operation, the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), the organization responsible for the most daring assassinations, suicide attacks and militant operations within Pakistan, has stated that its revenge attacks will focus on the Pakistan government, including a targeting of political leaders.

Even if the Pakistan government were involved in hiding Bin Laden, the reason why the United States. will likely continue its support in recognition of the reality that as bad as elements within the Pakistani administration may be, and as much as some of them may be playing a double game, the alternatives are worse.

Based on interviews with more than a dozen officials in Pakistan and the United States, Mazzetti disclosed the terms of the reported secret deal.

He said the ISI insisted they be allowed to approve each drone strike – a condition that gave Pakistan tight control over the list of drone targets. The ISI also insisted that U.S. drones would only be allowed to fly over the tribal regions near the border with Afghanistan.

Mazzetti also said the United States agreed it would never acknowledge U.S. drone strikes, allowing Pakistan either to take credit for killing militants or remain silent.

A decorated retired Air Force officer who witnessed one of the most deadly attacks on Navy SEALs in U.S. history is breaking her silence, saying the government covered up evidence detailing that the 2011 downing of a Chinook helicopter gunship that killed 38 fighters in Afghanistan could have been prevented had it not been for restrictions to the military’s rules of engagement that were changed under the Obama administration.

Sometimes the two use dirty tricks to blackmail each other. ‘The Contractor’ is a perfect example of this perfect blackmail between intimate partners. Imran Khan, the head of the Pakistan’s Tehreek-i-Insaaf party, tweeted on July 1 to say that “This book should be read by Pakistanis to understand why we are treated with little respect internationally”.

"We continue to believe that the administration should release the Justice Department memos underlying the program – particularly the memo that authorizes the extrajudicial killing of American terrorism suspects. And the administration should release the evidence it relied on to conclude that an American citizen, Anwar al-Awlaki, could be killed without charge, trial or judicial process of any kind."

Pakistan's protest came after a U.S. drone strike Sunday in Waziristan.

The strike killed three suspected militants who were hiding out in an abandoned girls school, according to U.S. officials. There were no other casualties.

Those allegations include that Brennan was the target of a Saudi intelligence influence operation, one outcome of which was Brennan’s conversion to Islam.At that time, Brennan was chief of station, a billet that is designed for an operationally trained officer with experience in the CIA’s Directorate of Operations, which Brennan was not. Brennan’s background is that of an analyst, which may explain why he lacked the sophistication and experience to understand that he was being played by the Saudis in an influence operation.Anyone so inept as to be oblivious to basic hostile intelligence tactics such as this influence operation is unqualified to be DCI.

Since Declan Walsh has been mentioned previously….don't recall reading this angle.

And the article relaying the court vs. Military view on drones.

The recent Pakistani court rulingdeclaring drones illegal (note, some international law experts have told me the decision is problematic on those terms, but nevertheless, it represents Pakistani courts censoring the policy supported by the national security establishment).

Interesting read, chosen for reference to McRaven being booted.

Allegation

https://www.wearethemighty.com/articles/xx-stories-history-joint-special-operations-command Admiral McRaven wanted Seal Team 6 to surrender to the Pakistanis if surrounded

The SEAL team who went on Operation Neptune's Spear were going to be more than 120 miles from the nearest U.S. forces. The CIA did clear the area before the raid and established a safehouse. In many media accounts, McRaven told the White House to seek a negotiated solution with the Pakistani government while the SEALs strongpointed the bin Laden compound, but Naylor writes some Team 6 operators believed McRaven said they should surrender to the Pakistanis.

The allegation being, just like Brennan purged Barry's passport files, McRaven purged the Bin Laden photos and other information related, resulting in star #4.

As there was tension between the US, Pakistan, and Afghanistan already from the drone usage for benefit of Pakistan military class, the sacrifice of those service men and whoever the unknowns were that boarded was part of a tenuous deal to keep the peace at all costs.  Most Afghans/Pakis not having access to as much open source information could become a mob similar to the Embassy riot back in the 80s.  See the JCPOA to what length is gone to in order to get to an end and how people benefit to be part of well…that.
