Pakistan report details how doctor helped US find bin Laden

07/28/12: The Washington Post reports a newly surfaced Pakistani intelligence report supposedly based on interrogations of Shakil Afridi, the imprisoned physician who has been lauded in Washington as a hero for his role in the operation that led to Osama bin Laden’s death but is branded a traitor in Pakistan, details his role in the plot to find and kill the al-Qaeda leader.  “[Afridi] met twenty-five times with foreign secret agents, received instructions and provided sensitive information to them,” states the investigative report, filed by prosecutors Wednesday in an appeals court where Afridi is seeking to overturn his 33-year sentence.  The report’s reliability is questionable; the interrogations it allegedly summarizes were carried out under a tribal judicial system in which Afridi had no counsel and could not challenge the evidence against him.
