Blown

To start with, the U.S. blew the U.K.'s investigation of a 2006 terrorist plot by pushing Pakistan to arrest Rashid Rauf immediately.

This left the Pakistanis claiming they didn't have enough evidence against him in the plot.

Also, the Pakistani interrogation was untrustworthy because it may have included torture.

But the British still wanted Rauf in connection with a 2002 murder.

Then, the Pakistanis let Rauf slip through their fingers, and we're supposed to believe that (a) this was an accident and (b) they really, really want to recapture him.

Did I leave anything out? The Keystone Kops, maybe.
