Look - if you say you never signed a document and then someone produces it, you'd look a bit silly wouldn't you?

Keith - how long has Musharref been out of power?

I don't go quite as far as DonT. The death of ObL (a man who most likely did deserve to die - but only in accordance with law) has already turned into a problem for Pakistan (but, hey, who cares about them, eh, say all the gung-ho on here) even though (and indeed probably because) they were officially US allies and it may well be that matters will go further. As I said, a martyr can be a dangerous thing.

But more important these events are likely to be taken as a precedent that the US can make an incursion and shoot who they like. That should not be a practical precedent and it is very doubtful whether it is the law.
