Did Obama walk off from a Pakistani ally in desperate need of his help? Maybe he will stop bragging about the bin Laden killing, now.

<<<<<< Did "we" walk off from this man,  showing no concern for certain reprisals?  You know,  an Administration that would violate the identity of the Special Ops unit responsible for killing Osama, is fully capable of tossing aside anyone.  

There is grave question as to whether the Obama Administration threw Dr. Shakil Afridi to the murdering hordes,  after he gave up the location of Osama bin Laben. Earlier this week,  Dr. Afridi was convicted of treason by a Pakistani "court" and sentenced to 30 years of harsh labor.  Of course,  he will never be seen again,  alive.   Understand that the doctor was not allowed a defense, a lawyer or an appeal.  

An hour before writing this post,  the Senate passed  a bill to withhold 36 million dollars from Pakistan assistance funding.  

This is definitely a developing story,  not to mention a potential major embarrassment for Obama and his slick planning.   We can only hope for the best,  on that. 


Update:  confirmation of the draconian trial conditions in this report: 


He was tried under the Frontier Crimes Regulations, or FCR — the set of laws that govern Pakistan's semiautonomous tribal region. Human rights organizations have criticized the FCR for not providing suspects the right to legal representation, to present material evidence, or to cross-examine witnesses. Verdicts are handled by a government official in consultation with a council of elders.

End notes :  ABC report:

The Pakistani doctor who aided American intelligence in its mission to kill Osama bin Laden has been convicted of high treason in his home country and sentenced to 33 years in prison plus a fine, Pakistani officials said today.

Shakil Afridi ran a vaccination program on behalf of the CIA near the al Qaeda leader's compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, in an attempt to collect DNA from bin Laden's relatives and verify that America's most wanted terrorist was indeed in the compound. On May 2, 2011, a team of U.S. Navy SEALs raided the compound and killed bin Laden.

Afridi's role, first reported by the New York Times in July 2011, was publicly confirmed by U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta in January when he told CBS News' "60 Minutes" he was "very concerned" for Afridi.

"This was an individual who in fact helped provide intelligence that was very helpful with regards to this operation," Panetta, who was head of the CIA at the time of the operation, said then. "He was not in any way treasonous towards Pakistan, he was not doing anything that would in any way undermine Pakistan... Pakistan and the United States have a common cause against terrorism." . . . . . . . ABC Report in full here.
