US set the precedent with Pollard for Pakistan's mistreatment of US agent

Source: CNN - Wolf Blitzer, Situation Room - October 7, 2011

CNN: US prosecution of Pollard as if he had spied for enemy state, rather
than an ally, set the precedent for Pakistan's treatment of native Pakistani
who worked as an American agent.

EXCERPT:

A Pakistani commission has recommended bringing charges of high treason
against Dr. Shakeel Afridi. He's accused of helping U.S. intelligence with a
vaccination program in Abbottabad to try to get DNA samples to see if Bin
Laden or his family lived in the compound....

...TODD: Contacted by CNN, a Pakistani official could not say whether his
government will put the doctor on trial. Our national security analyst Peter
Bergen says if they do, the Pakistanis may have a case. He compares it to a
well-known spying case in the U.S. in the 1980s.

PETER BERGEN, CNN NATIONAL SECURITY ANALYST: Jonathan Pollard was tried in
this country for spying for a friendly country's intelligence service,
Israel. Why should Pakistan treat its citizens any different than the way we
treat Americans who spy for even friendly countries?
