Dr. Shakil Afridi is the United States' abandoned hero and we need to protect him. After helping to verify the location of Osama bin Laden for US authorities, Dr. Afridi was left behind in Pakistan. The Pakistan spy agency known as the Inter-Services Intelligence took Dr. Afridi into custody. It is reported that Dr. Afridi has been tortured and starved for months for his pivotal role in finding Bin Laden and his selfless assistance in the fight against terror. In addition, Dr. Afridi's family has been targeted by anti-american elements and his wife and children forced into hiding. We must show the world that we stand by those who help in the fight against terror, who provide direct assistance to our troops. We must free Dr. Afridi and provide a safe haven for he and his family.
