It's pretty sad when Pakistani Intelligence Services have more discretion and common sense than Bush Administration blabbermouths:
....................................

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan -- (AP) The disclosure of the arrest of an al-Qaida computer expert has jeopardized efforts to capture more members of the terrorist network, Pakistani officials say.

Two senior Pakistani officials say last week's news reports about the capture of Muhammad Naeem Noor Khan enabled other suspects to get away.

They say some changed their hideouts and moved to unknown places.

Pakistani government and security officials said the "intelligence leak" did not come from them -- but they stopped short of blaming the United States.

Khan was working with authorities on rooting out other al-Qaida members. Pakistani intelligence officials tell The Associated Press that Khan led authorities to the man believed responsible for the embassy bombings in east Africa.

U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., asked the White House to explain why Khan's name was disclosed, even as he was cooperating secretly by sending e-mails to terrorists so authorities could trace their locations.

The suspect was identified to reporters when the Bush administration was under pressure to explain warnings made about possible attacks against financial buildings in New York, Washington and Newark, New Jersey.

National security adviser Condoleezza Rice acknowledged Monday in a televised interview that Khan's name had been disclosed to reporters in Washington "on background."

That means that it could be published, but the information could not be attributed by name to the official who had revealed it.
