What does this tell you about the country's leaders?

The death of bin Laden in his house in Pakistan MAY, I repeat, MAY have been aided by a team of health workers that may have taken DNA samples from the house where bin Laden lived. These DNA samples may have been the final insight into knowing the identity of the person living there and a kind of, "Go get him" signal to the Navy SEALs tasked with the job.

So what has the government of Pakistan done to these health workers? Given them medals, maybe? How about a cash reward for helping do what the government of Pakistan told the world they were trying to do themselves? That is, to locate bin Laden.

No. The leader of the health workers has been arrested and the other 16 have been sacked from their jobs with their bosses accusing them of working "against national interest".

It tells me the health Workers were used by US spooks, who never told them what the real reason, the blood tests were for.

Then vanished and left the locals to their fate.

What does this tell you about the country's leaders?

I think it tells us the immense difficulty of trying to run a democratic and law-abiding country when there is a significant minority of singe-minded terrorists amongst the population.

And Pakistan is just the same. 😞

Ha ha, very good. Nearly true though.

As for Pakistan, would you really trust anything anyone says there because over time they've demonstrated that they'll change tack depending on which way the wind's blowing to their own benefit.

Also, a large part of the area from the Middle to the Far East is rife with corruption and if a more favourable wind doesn't cause them to change tack, a dose of money certainly will.

Regarding the issue in question, it's obviously been to someone's benefit to blow the gaff on or cast aspersions about the USA, we don't really know if any of the accusations about CIA involvement are true.

The fact that it's possible is enough for those who believe what they want to believe whether something's true or not.

Maybe you can you tell us why, Hillary Clinton, last year, demanded that the Pakistanis should release Dr Afridi.

"because HIS work served Pakistani and American interests."

For years, Health workers (Local & International) , were frequently targeted and killed in Afghanistan & the North of Pakistan, because rumours of them spying, were spread by the Taliban.

This case means they are now even more suspect to the locals
