I thought there was a problem with the Taliban fighting against polio-eradication efforts due to the Bin Laden thing? I would guess that they might need some new tactics to deal with that? Maybe the CIA is secretly doing some work to make itself look less bad and kill an enemy that used to murder American children? Sounds like a decision they might plausibly make. Or maybe they're just staying out of the way and we happen to have a bunch of nurses accepting the risk of violent death.

The comic really needs a panel that goes something like, "Hey, since vaccination programs are so common, let's take advantage of that by using undercover nurses as scouts so we can kill terrorists!" And then that gets shot down as the completely idiotic idea it is. I would really like to see an estimate of how many deaths will result from the CIA's subversion of Pakistani vaccination programs, and how it compares to the deaths caused by bin Laden. I'd wager the former will outweigh the latter by a substantial margin.
