If there was any confusion whether Pakistan helped the US find bin Laden, this should clear it up. ISI has arrested the Pakis who helped the CIA in their private capacity.

Pakistan Arrests C.I.A. Informants in Bin Laden Raid

By ERIC SCHMITT and MARK MAZZETTI



Published: June 14, 2011

WASHINGTON — Pakistan’s top military spy agency has arrested some of the Pakistani informants who fed information to the Central Intelligence Agency in the months leading up to the raid that led to the death of Osama bin Laden, according to American officials.

Pakistan’s detention of five C.I.A. informants, including a Pakistani
Army major who officials said copied the license plates of cars visiting
Bin Laden’s compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, in the weeks before the
raid, is the latest evidence of the fractured relationship between the
United States and Pakistan. It comes at a time when the Obama
administration is seeking Pakistan’s support in brokering an endgame in
the war in neighboring Afghanistan.

At a closed briefing last week, members of the Senate Intelligence
Committee asked Michael J. Morell, the deputy C.I.A. director, to rate
Pakistan’s cooperation with the United States on counterterrorism
operations, on a scale of 1 to 10. “Three,” Mr. Morell replied, according to officials familiar with the exchange.

>>>> He left out the minus in front of the 3. Morell and his colleagues can cry themselves, but the billions in aid to the "ally" will continue. Yesterday's sins are coming home to roost.

One really important question to ask is "what does worse look like" in this relationship. And is that really worse for US national security. I don't really think it is!
