it could be. what this does is reframe some central debates. for example, it entirely displaces the center of the debates about iran, which had previously been centered on bush administration dick-waving to the total exclusion of persian gulf countries (israel is not one of those)...it changes the public perception of pakistan in an interesting way as well, making it far more complicated and problematic (assuming that you haven't been looking...) than it may have been perceived as being. it's interesting to think on it that way.
i wouldn't say deliberate...but i would not be surprised to learn that it was known and approved of in a tacit way. tacit in the sense of "dont ask me any questions about those documents that you are releasing officially because i cannot have any position except but to oppose them...o take out that name would you? not good if she's outed...""
