http://www.nytimes.com/2012/05/24/w...laden-given-jail-term-official-says.html?_r=1A Pakistani doctor who helped the Central Intelligence Agency locate Osama Bin Laden through a fake vaccination campaign in the city of Abbottabad was convicted on Wednesday of treason and sentenced to 33 years in prison, a senior official in Pakistan said.A tribal court here found the doctor, Shakil Afridi, guilty of acting against the state ...
In January, Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta confirmed that the United States had been working with Dr. Afridi to gain access to Bin Laden's compound in Abbottabad in the months before the raid....
According to Pakistani security officials, Dr. Afridi admitted to helping the C.I.A. before the raid by Navy Seals that killed Bin Laden in May 2011. That operation angered Pakistani officials who viewed it as a violation of the country's sovereignty and because they were not told about it ahead of time.

this will certainly motivate other pakistani nationals to assist our efforts to thwart terrorism [/s]
and panetta, the head of the CIA, is the person who put this operative at risk. such a dumb ass
Just goes to show whose side Pakistan is really on. We should be stopping ALL foeign aid (both military and otherwise) to that nation.
We should be stopping foreign aid to all countries. Our country is in debt and our citizens come first.
To be fair, Pakistan is on Pakistan's side just as the USA is on the USA's side. If a US citizen helped Pakistani forces carry out a military operation within America, I suspect US federal authorities would have questions for them.Just goes to show whose side Pakistan is really on.

I agree, but that's a topic for another time and place. I'm talking about directly due to this action by the Pakistani Government. If they prefer to stand on the side of people like OBL instead of us, then they need to be treated as co-conspirators with OBL.
We should, yes, but our government is committed to the fantasy that Pakistan is an ally in the War on Terror.
call Rush
call Hannity
call everyone. We need to let the world know that the USA does NOT leave its friends behind.

Seems to me that this information would have been classified. WTF was Panetta thinking?
Too late for that. We've been leaving our friends behind since 1974 and we're still doing it. We're going to do it in Iraq and Afghanistan.
this
panetta was the head of the CIA
if that is not scary enough, he is now in charge of DoD
true, we left the Kurds behind and the Shiites behind after the Gulf War.
not good. why should anyone help us if we have no integrity?
You think the US should only have relations with countries who are willing to put American considerations above and beyond their own? But no other country are allowed to have the same attitude?Then the US should not have any dealings (military, economic, diplomatic, etc...) with Pakistan.
