You are right. In Pakistan people make decisions on personal biases without standard and jump to conclusions without background knowledge. Let see why Afridi went for OBL and why Afridi was tried in FATA.

Afridi turned against Taliban (and AQ) for personal revenge. He used to treat wounded Taliban leaders until 2008. No doubt he sued to charge hefty fees from them, but then he was doing something illegal and if caught could have been in prison. Anyhow, if he was only after money then he would have become informer on them too, but he did not.

[Actually, one can say that all who were/are colluding with Taliban and AQ by treating them, donating money to them, sympathising with them, or assisting them are traitors, as Pakistan is fighting Taliban and AQ. Anyhow if we start hunting such traitors then we would find millions in Pakistan]

Totally agreed. I guess, we should be happy they did not hang them guy for treason. For what it’s worth they should have sentenced him to 5, 10 years for helping the foreign powers, just to be politically correct and as a token sentence. In a perfect world he shouldn’t have been tried at all, but then again, in a perfect world he would have just reported Osama to the Pakistan government, and they’d have taken action.

No scratch that, in a perfect world, Pakistan government/military intelligence wouldn’t even have allowed Osama into the country, and if he was there, sniffed him out themselves and served justice.
