My guess is that it most likely has significant SIGINT & COMINT capabilities, helpful in ferreting out Taliban using two-way radios to coordinate their attacks, not to mention if UBL should get lonely and want to reach out and touch someone (on his cell or sat phone) it wouldn't hurt to have this bird up there listening in.

And since it most likely can "listen in" it wouldn't do much political good for the Pakistanis to know it's up there, especially to those known to be sympathetic to the Taliban and resentful of a U.S. military presence.

You don't have to secure overflight permission for a stealth drone., do ya?
