...government of Musharraf, say senior U.S. and Pakistani officials, that would be a mission impossible. Many of the deeply religious clans there sympathize with bin Laden and are bound by tribal honor to shelter fugitives from the Pakistani police and army.

They're just as suspicious of members of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) agency, who they believe might be collecting al-Qaeda payoffs and would kill them...

...information you have, the better you're able to compare. We think [intelligence support for UNMOVIC] should be in principle a one-way traffic. It is in governments' interests that they should [point us] to interesting places, and if we then find something that is significant, that is the reward - rather than "you give me a piece of information; I give you a piece of information."
