Hero Doctor Who Helped Nail Bin Laden Tortured In Pakistani Prison, Says Family -- FOX News
Dr. Shakeel Afridi, the jailed CIA informant who helped hunt down Usama Bin Laden, has recently been tortured in prison, the doctor’s family members told Fox News.
“I was told by a prison source that Shakeel and two guards were subjected to torture by jail administration sometime in November,” Jamil Afridi, the brother of the jailed doctor, told Fox News in a recent interview. Jamil Afridi said he had been told about the torture on Nov. 21, when he tried to visit his brother in jail but was turned away, and in a follow-up court hearing on Nov. 22.
“His privileges have been revoked and he’s been shifted to another cell,” Jamil said. “They are strict with him, and treating him inhumanely.”

Update: Dr. Afridi tortured in jail, family says -- UPI
My Comment: I do not know who to be more outraged at .... is it Pakistan? The silence from the White House? No media coverage(with the exception of FOX and UPI)? Congress?
Everyday that this hero stays in jail makes a mockery of the U.S. commitment to help those who help us .... because in this case (of all cases) .... the message is clear .... you can help us but you are on your own.
