The capture and killing of bin Laden was one of the biggest news events of the last few years and most Americans, right up to President Obama, consider it a huge victory. Social media and tech press too celebrated it vigorously. Dr. Afridi from Pakistan, who played a role in finding Osama's whereabouts is now charged with treason and sentenced to 33 years of rigorous imprisonment without a proper trial. If this is not a violation of human rights, what is? Come on America, it is time to show your gratitude. Save Dr. Afridi as you would save your own. If you fail to do so, who will want to help you in future?

Jeff, understand our point about prioritizing family over work, etc but clearly lots of people reading it but cannot afford to retire are going to end up sad and demoralized today :(
