Washington (CNN) -- US Defense Secretary Leon Panetta is acknowledging publicly the key role a Pashtun doctor Shakil Afridi who assisted the United States ahead of the strike on Osama bin Laden's compound last May that killed the terrorism mastermind. The doctor who provided key information ought to be released, Panetta told CBS's "60 Minutes" in a segment set to air Sunday. "I'm very concerned about what the Pakistanis did with this individual," Panetta told CBS. "This was an individual who in fact helped provide intelligence that was very helpful with regards to this operation. And he was not in any way treasonous towards Pakistan." Dr. Shakeel Afridi helped the CIA use a vaccination campaign to collect DNA samples from residents of bin Laden's to verify the terror leader's presence there. Pakistan, which expressed its anger over the raid without consulting Pakistani authorities, has charged Afridi with treason. "Pakistan and the United States have a common cause here against terrorism, have a common cause against al Qaeda," Panetta said. "And for them to take this kind of action against somebody who was helping to go after terrorism, I just think is a real mistake on their part." Panetta said Pakistan can discipline Afridi in whatever manner it deems appropriate but the doctor should be released. Many analysts felt US officials had kept quiet about Afridi so as to not implicate him. Panetta also told CBS that he remains convinced that someone in authority in Pakistan <b>...</b> Related article

Build up to WW3 Panetta ADMITTED supporting REBEL FORCES reassuring MIDDLE EAST allies ASSAD's fall Mr Panetta, speaking at the start of a week-long trip to the Middle East and North Africa, did not offer any new steps the US might take even as he renewed calls for a united international effort "to bring the Assad regime down." Helicopter gunships opened fire over Aleppo in Syria on Sunday and the thud of artillery boomed across neighborhoods as government forces and rebels fought for control of the city. "It's pretty clear that Aleppo is, I think, another tragic example of the kind of indiscriminate violence that the Assad regime has committed against its own people and in many ways, I think if they continue this kind of tragic attack on their own people in Aleppo, I think it ultimately will be a nail in Assad's own coffin. "That he's just assuring that the Assad regime will come to an end by virtue of the kind of violence they're committing against their own people," said Mr Panetta. "What Assad has been doing to his own people and what he continues to do to his own people makes clear that his regime is coming to an end. It's lost all legitimacy and the more violence he engages in, the more he makes the cast that that regime is coming to an end."

US wants world police after blowing millions on MidEast 'occupation'

Fresh report says that over $200 million spent by Washington to train Iraqi police have gone to waste. The US is now preparing to send hundreds of its own police across the world to help locals handle security. John Glaser from antiwar.com believes the plan is more about control and enrichment, than regional stability. Afghanistan is another drain for American taxpayers' money. The US is training local forces - but mass desertions from the ranks are hurting efforts to maintain stability. Analyst Jason Ditz attributes this to corrupt authorities and poorly-planned spending.

India hit by second huge power outage, this one larger than before

NEW DELHI (AP) -- India's energy crisis cascaded over half the country Tuesday when three of its regional grids collapsed, leaving 620 million people without government-supplied electricity in one of the world's biggest-ever blackouts. Hundreds of trains stalled across the country and traffic lights went out, causing widespread traffic jams in New Delhi. Electric crematoria stopped operating, some with bodies half burnt, power officials said. Emergency workers rushed generators to coal mines to rescue miners trapped underground. The massive failure — a day after a similar, but smaller power failure — has raised serious concerns about India's outdated infrastructure and the government's inability to meet its huge appetite for energy as the country aspires to become a regional economic superpower. Power Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde blamed the new crisis on states taking more than their allotted share of electricity. "Everyone overdraws from the grid. Just this morning I held a meeting with power officials from the states and I gave directions that states that overdraw should be punished. We have given instructions that their power supply could be cut," he told reporters. The new power failure affected people across 20 of India's 28 states — more than the entire population of the European Union plus Turkey. The blackout was unusual in its reach, stretching from the border with Myanmar in the northeast to the Pakistani border about 1870 miles away. Its impact, however, was <b>...</b> Related article
