File under: Govt of Pakistan

#1 It is so difficult to understand and its so disturbing that they would sentence this doctor to 33 years for helping in the search for the most notorious terrorist in our times, Panetta said.

Difficult for some possibly. A very effective strategy actually. The more attention the US places on the release of Dr. Afridi, the more likely it is the Pakistani masses (aka feckless little people who vote and sometimes riot), will divert their attention from their own Pakistani government's complicity in the Bid Laden affair. Obviously the money strapped Taliban who were not part of the original scheme, now want their cut...via the ISAF transport system. It's the way business is done in that part of the world.

Let's end the theater shall we? Source operations can be very difficult and comlex. US Intelligence paid for access and source reporting. They did not pay for source protection.

Next time, let's not use high profile medical professionals and Doctors with placement and access like Dr. Alfidi and MAJ Nidal Hasan as intelligence sources. A pattern is being developed and things can obviously go dreadfully wrong.

#2 Ask yourself once the Afghan war ends how will Pakistan survive financially?Their main income post war will be drugs via Afghanistan and International extortion via home grown jihadi terrorism.
