Did rogue spies or 'Pakistani Blackwater' shield Osama bin Laden?

1. I think it's pretty obvious that Pakistan is a deeply schizophrenic State.

There appears to be a significant penetration of AQ support within ISI and the military.

What I find more troubling is the previous administration's complete disinterest with getting OBL. Allowing SA prince's and members of the Bin Laden family to escape right after 9/11 with the Bush administration help; Bush's pronouncement 6 month's after 9/11 that the "architect of 9/11" was no longer a priority; and allowing OBL and Al Quida safe passage out of Tora Bora. And lets not forget the huge amount of "anti-terrorism" aid the Bush administration threw at Pakistan - was that to fight terror or keep OBL under wraps? At some level, there was more value to OBL being alive and available for Bush's GWOT and development of their ME agenda, then finding him and killing him. No surprise that OBL spent most of the decade holed up in Pakistan under the protection of the ISI and military. The real issue is why the previous administration couldn't or wouldn't go after OBL in the 7 years after 9/11.
