Hey war criminal of a Dick - Pakistan jails doctor who helped CIA find Bin Laden
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-18175964<snip>
A Pakistani doctor who helped the CIA find Osama Bin Laden has been jailed for at least 30 years, officials say.
Shakil Afridi was charged with treason for running a fake vaccination programme to gather information.
It is not clear if Dr Afridi knew who the target of the investigation was when the CIA recruited him, or what DNA he managed to collect in the fake hepatitis B vaccination programme.
The idea was to obtain a blood sample from one of the children living in the Abbottabad compound, so that DNA tests could determine whether or not they were relatives of Bin Laden, our correspondent says.

One more Bushco lie mashed down - it was not torture that led to BIn Laden
