Report: Pakistan gave China access to 'stealth' chopper in bin Laden raid

"Pakistan, which enjoys a close relationship with China, allowed Chinese intelligence officials to take pictures of the crashed chopper as well as take samples of its special "skin" that allowed the American raid to evade Pakistani radar, the newspaper reported." Fox has this.

The Pakistanis and the Chicoms deny the whole thing  "But he said that the technology and design features that enable an aircraft to reduce noise and evade radar are not shrouded in secrecy.
"Countries that examine the wreckage "will not learn much from the remnants of the exploded helicopter that were not already readily available in open literature," Thompson was quoted as saying."

From American Thinker: Pakistan gave China access to top secret copter used in bin Laden mission  "If true, this is a huge intelligence coup for China. Our stealth technology is far ahead of other nations - especially China - and for Pakistan to allow a potential enemy to study an advanced technological innovation is a monstrous betrayal."....
"We won't be sure until we determine whether China has developed countermeasures that could shoot down the stealth copter. No doubt such a system would be a hot item on the international arms market."  Emphasis added.

The price will be paid by forces trying to take out Iranian nuclear sites or resisting Islamist agressionRon Paul, is the US still the guilty party?
