Foggy Bottom's Messed-Up To Do List

We may have missed out opportunity to capture Osama bin Laden because U.S. Ambassador to Pakistan Nancy Powell didn't think it was that important:

Mr. Kirk said that he raised the issue directly with the ambassador. According to the congressman, she replied that she had “six top priorities” and finding Mr. bin Laden was only one of them. She listed other priorities: securing supply lines for American and allied forces in Afghanistan, shutting down the network of nuclear proliferator A.Q.Khan,preventing a nuclear war between Pakistan and India, and forestalling a radical Islamic takeover of the government of Pakistan, a key American ally.
