This story tells you all you need to know about whose side Pakistan is on.
Doctor Shakil Afridi was charged with treason, and sentenced to 33 years in jail under the 'tribal courts' system. Apparently he wasn't even allowed to defend himself in court while he was prosecuted for gathering information for the American Central Intelligence Agency, used in order to track down Osama Bin Laden in his hiding place in Abbottabad Pakistan.
The Americans, who later confirmed that the good Doctor had aided them, said that he "was not in any way treasonous towards Pakistan, ... he was somebody who was helping to go after terrorism".
Our governments are liars when they claim Pakistan is on our side, its not, it supports the bad guys, and always has. we should cease giving them any aid, and watch them crash and burn when the terrorist topple their corrupt military and ISI.
Addendum: In a bizarre twist the Pakistani authorities now state that Dr Afridi was in fact only convicted for having links to a banned group, by providing support and medical treatment to members of the militant group, Lashkar-e-Islam.
NB: To-date no one in Pakistan has been charged or investigated for aiding Osama Bin Laden in his long stay in Pakistan, yet there was obviously much 'official' as well as 'unofficial' connivance in his ability to live in Abbottabad.
