[QUOTE](CNN) -- Pakistan has fired a doctor who helped the CIA to hunt Osama bin Laden, a senior government official told CNN.
Seventeen other employees who also worked at the health department in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province were also removed from their jobs, according to Ishfaq Khan, the top government official of the health department.
Dr. Shakeel Afridi helped the CIA use a vaccination campaign to collect DNA samples from residents of bin Laden's compound to verify the terror leader's presence there.
Khan said the reason given for firing Afridi and the other 17 employees was that it was a disciplinary action against them for starting a polio campaign without prior permission in Abbottabad, the town where bin Laden was killed.
Khan said those dismissed besides Afridi were another doctor, a coordinator of the health department, and 15 health workers.
Khan didn't provide their names because of security concerns.
Pakistan has not yet decided whether to try Afridi for high treason for assisting the United States in gathering intelligence ahead of the raid, a senior Pakistani government official said in January.
"It's the federal government who will decide whether to try the doctor for high treason or not," the official said. "At this stage, the decision hasn't been taken to try the doctor."
The official did not want to be named because of the matter's sensitivity.[/QUOTE]

they mad.
So hey U.S. this is your ally you pump millions of dollars into
Pakistan's government stinks of corruption, how is it that the US doesn't see this?
Assisting the United States government is high treason in Pakistan, our supposed ally, and the most wanted man in the world goes down for it, the man should have a medal! That is 100% bullshit smeared onto red flags.
See now I'm glad we didn't tell Pakistan about our raid before hand. Obama probably knew that Pakistan might help him escape and that's why we didn't say shit
So fuck you, Pakistan. I'm not saying you shouldn't be angry that another country went in and conducted a raid without your permission, but to do so many things after the fact, even firing regular doctors a year later for assisting in the death of the world's most wanted... really, Drop dead

KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN
He's going to be killed unless he goes somewhere. I know it will happen.
So you bitch at Pakistan about this. But if a US Doctor gave private medical records to the Pakistani's intelligence services, you'd be up in arms.

You think they don't? Problem is, if they sink, Islamists take over.

Even if those records were the ones of the most wanted man in the world, by many nations? Nahh
The US should grant him an asylum for him to live.
