You're missing the point that no country should be cool with their citizens working with other foreign spy organizations without clearance. You don't go to Canada to report on terrorists in the United States. You're expected to work with your country's authorities.
I understand the United States did not trust Pakistan with this information. And I'm glad he was willing to work for us. And I think we should have absolutely offered him amnesty into the United States. But regardless of our relationship with their nation, that sort of behavior is not acceptable.
You get caught spying for another country, even if you aren't passing over state secrets, you go to jail. There's no reputable or disreputable country where that's not true.
