Shakil Afridi, the Pakistani doctor who helped the CIA locate bin Laden before the raid that killed him, has been convicted of high treason and sentenced to a 33-year prison term!
If Pakistan were our ally and wanted to help us find bin Laden wouldn’t this guy have gotten a medal and a parade? Of course, if Pakistan were our ally, bin Laden wouldn’t have been able to live for years in one of their military bastions.
This is the “ally” who has kept our supply routes into Afghanistan closed for the last six months and has been demanding a formal apology (as opposed to the expression of regret they’ve received) for the accidental death of some Pakistani border troops, plus a fee of $5,000 per truck (up from $250 a truck) for using their roads.
Since 9/11, we have given Pakistan $20 billion in aid. We need to cut our budget? Start there.
