Strikes me that you're feeling a little guilty for what you did, and are trying to rationalise it away by claiming you really did nothing at all. Which is a pretty pathetic way of trying to have your cake and eat it too.
> Second, I know the U.S. government has it out for me.
I couldn't care less about you. My response wasn't about you. Last I checked, the CIA weren't kidnapping, holding hostage, and torturing Americans (or at least, not en masse). They have been doing so, on a regular enough basis, to other nationalities, including Pakistanis.
So whether you feel the CIA is hiding under your bed and waiting to tickle your nose at night is just an issue for you and your shrink. I couldnt care less, and it has nothing to do with this story.
I was only concerned about why YOU felt the need to INFORM about others, to an agency who has a proven and declared track record of kidnapping and torturing said others.
And I was prompted to reply (yes, I read your submission a few days late - Hacker News has more than one page, so it happens ...) by the obvious self-conglatulatory tone in your initial post.
Have you already written up your Oscar acceptance speech, to go along with that mega-blockbuster thriller movie you're imagining yourself to be an integral part of?
