We believe this is an important service that we provide." Little added that Pentagon officials did meet with producers of the film but said, "We have never reviewed a script of the movie." Little also denied that the cooperation was an attempt to boost President Barack Obamas election chances, and said the movie would not be out until after the election. CIA spokesman Preston Colson disputed the allegation that the filmmakers were given access to a secret vault." nitwit 10 ii i tales 2X221 Iikistiui Continued from Nation I kluruihad J'OS invited expectation it would reopen supply lines for NATO and Afridi U.S. troops to Afghanistan it has blocked for nearly six months to protest U.S. airstrikes that filled 24 Pakistani troops on the Afghan border.

But it did hot reopen the routes, and instead repeated demands for an apology from Washington for the airstrikes. I Pakistans treatment of Afridi since his arrest following the bin Laden raid has in many ways symbolized the gulf between Washington and Islamabad. In the United States and other Western nations, Afri-Si was viewed as a hero who had helped eliminate the ivorlds most wanted man. put Pakistan army and spy chiefs were outraged by the raid, which led to international suspicion that they had been harboring the al-Qaida chief. In their eyes, Afridi was a tmitor who had collaborated with a foreign spy agency in an illegal oper -ationonitssoiL I Afridi, in his 50s, was detained sometime after the raid, but the start of his trial was never publicized.

He was tried under the Frontier Crimes Regulations, or FCR the set of laws that govern Pakistans semiau-tonomous tribal region. Human rights organizations have criticized the FCR for not providing suspects the right to legal representation, to present material evidence, or to cross-examine witnesses. Verdicts are handled by a government official in consultation with a council of elders. Afridi was tried in the Khyber tribal region, where he was raised. In addition to the prison term, he was ordered to pay a fine of about $3,500 and is subject to an additional 32 years in prison if he does not, according to Nasir Khan, a government official in Khyber.

Afridi can appeal the verdict within two months, said Iqbal Khan, another Khyber government official. An official with Pakistans main biter-Services Intelligence agency said the decision was in Pakistan's "national interest," and he dismissed earlier appeals by U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and other American officials that Afridi should be released. Tlie official did not give his name because the ISI doesnt allow its operatives to be Identified in the media. Asked in Washington to comment, Pentagon press secretary George Little declined to talk about the specific case, but added: "Anyone who supported the United States in finding Osama bin Laden was not working against Pakistan.

They were working against al-Qaida." Afridi was working for local health authorities in northwest Pakistan when he began working for the CIA. Nurses working for him reportedly knocked on the door of the compound in Abbottabad, but were not successful in obtaining a sample from the house to confirm bin Laden was living there. After the raid, the Pakistan army kicked out U.S. military trainers and limited counterterrorism cooperation with the CIA But relations got even worse in November when the U.S. killed the Pakistani border guards, an attack that Washington said was an accident but the Pakistani army insisted was deliberate.

Pakistan retaliated by closing the NATO supply routes and kicking the U.S. out of a base used by American drones. Before the attack, the U.S and other NATO countries fighting in Afghanistan shipped about 30 percent of their nonlethal supplies through Pakistan. Since then, the coalition has used far more expensive routes through Russia and Central Asia.
