Strange the only individual that had (supposedly) direct contact with osama bin laden is about to die in a Paki prison. The individual is being tortured, starved and isolated.
The United States has offered zero assistance, no legal fees, no attorney fees, and no money to the doctor.
Now ask why?
The good doctor is about to die and the current administration, State Dept. CIA etc has offered no help.
Why?
Maybe because it the doctor knows who he was dealing with and it was not osama bin laden but just another 6'5" Pakistani but he was told to say it was osama.
If I wanted to keep a secret of such magnitude I'd let the doctor (that risked his life and family) die in prison too. And I'd make it look/seem that he was a "mistake" that the current administration, State Dept and CIA "overlooked".
Brother says Pakistani doc tortured, appeals to US for legal help

The Pakistani doctor sentenced last week to 33 years in prison for helping track Usama bin Laden suffered torture, isolation and starvation during his interrogation, his brother told Fox News -- as he made an appeal from the family for the U.S. Embassy to help fight his legal case.
Jamil Afridi told Fox News in an interview that the Embassy so far has not reached out to the family of Dr. Shakil Afridi.
The brother said the family wants the U.S. to provide lawyers as well as pay the legal bills -- as questions surround the dubious legal process used to convict Afridi and hand down what amounted to a life sentence. He also said the broader family of roughly 30 people wants asylum in America.
"The blame has been placed on my brother because of America. We are facing a tough time and they should now support us. We should get justice and protection," he told Fox News. "Me, my brother, my family don't have any protection here. When I leave from this place, I don't know what might happen to me. I don't know in which guise someone might come for us. I am afraid of the government agencies, the Taliban and terrorists."
