Lawmaker On Jailed Pakistani Doctor: 'We've Abandoned This Hero'

The House lawmaker who has tried to rally his colleagues to speak up on behalf of the Pakistani doctor imprisoned for his role in helping track Usama bin Laden said Tuesday -- on the 11th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks -- that "we've abandoned this hero." 
Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R-Calif., renewed his call Tuesday for the U.S. to do more to bring attention to Shakil Afridi's plight and pressure Pakistan to free him. He addressed the case after Afridi detailed his miserable prison conditions in an exclusive interview with Fox News. 
But Rohrabacher expressed grave disappointment with how Washington has handled the case to date.

Another Obama screw up. While obama is so proudly touting and taking credit for bin laden's death the informant responsible sits in jail for informing. The bin laden death is not a success but a complete failure. The go ahead should never ever have been given by obama until if and when all informants were out of harms way.

At least this Doctor is safe (in jail) unlike the Ambassador we lost today. No worry, Obama is out campaigning in his honor tonight.

I'm trying the link, and getting an "access denied" message. Any tips?

Thanks for posting this Joe. This is something the MSM is ignoring and if it weren't for a few honest networks and reporters no one would be hearing about this.
It goes to show more of the ineptitude of Obama and his advisors.

The "access Denied" is our wonderful government at work. Since they couldn't enact SOPA and the others, they just went ahead and censored your search answer. Comfortable with internet "safety" now?

Obama touts the bin laden raid and his ultimate death as a success when in reality is was another colossal failure.

"Safe in Jail" --are you serious? Any idea how prisoners are treated in Islamic jails? Beatings, sodomy, torture are routine for "enemies" . WTF up.
