I think your understanding of spycraft is naïve. If you are a target of an international spy agency, like Osama was, trust nothing or no-one. CIA is blameless.

CIA is blameless. They didn't mass infiltrate the vaccination program of the entire country, or state or city. Then ran a targeted mission on a particular neighborhood, which is what spy agencies do and are supposed to do.
Again, this is a blatant and obvious shifting of blame.
1. the Pakistani state protected and harbored Osama --> their fault.
2. Informing them about the mission would have jeopardized it as Pakistan plays both sides routinely --> Pakistan's fault.
3. Osama was a ruthless murderer of innocents, and a target of international spy agencies --> his fault
How is any of the above CIA's fault?

The CIA has publicly said they ran this fake vaccination program, and that program is at least partially responsible for the hostility towards polio workers we are seeing today. Even if you view the fake vaccination program as a necessary step for some reason, the CIA is still to blame for what we are seeing now. As for the rest of what you said, I'm not really sure what point you're trying to make.
