Truth be told, I'm having a hard time believing that Pakistan didn't know he was there. I think the more likely scenario is he was there under house arrest as part of some deal he made with the Paki's. He did have access to quite a bit of money and giving the US access to Afghanistan via roadways and airspace for an extended period of time has proven to be quite lucrative to the Paki government. I think the Paki's full well knew he was there and kept pointing intel to the tribal regions for a variety of reasons.

Hundreds of professional chess players?

Wow... I'm wondering how much money one could possibly make as a 'professional chess player' because by some definition of the word 'professional' they should all be making some sort of coinage.

Is there any info on this as a career? Just curious...

... If BP were forced to shoulder the entire cost of this mistake, they would go bankrupt.

Actually, BP won't foot the bill for this. Ultimately, it will be cheaper for them to pay the fines imposed on them as restitution rather than actually pay for the whole clean up. What they will do is get the thing capped and then back to business as usual. A quick glance at their 2009 Q4 earnings will quickly make you realize this will in no way bankrupt them.
