Fair point, but I can see why the government would theoretically be Ok with releasing this information:
(a) it seems reasonably obvious -- only a very limited number of people know where he would be;
(b) The dude in question is getting his $25 million reward, and so won't be operating in al Qaeda in Iraq any longer; and
(c) helps fuel suspicion -- all reamining senior folks suspect or queston all the others.
