This doctor and his family should have been treated with the utmost respect and safety, even if that meant sending an additional helicopter to evacuate them during the raid.
The bill that the Senate passed yesterday is a joke and nothing more than a knee-jerk-feel-good response.
$33Million is not even a drop in the bucket compared to the $20Billion we've given Pakistan since 2002, and will barely be phased by a measly reduction of roughly 1/600th of that amount.
Besides. OBL wasn't a Pakistani National so what are they bitching about?
Pakistan officials: Doctor's jailing was payback for bin Laden raid, U.S. need to move on. Should we move on and forget those who helped us get him?

Top Pakistani government officials say the prison sentence for the
doctor who helped the CIA track down Usama bin Laden is a payback by the
country’s top military officials angry about the raid happening under
their noses and that the United States needs to move beyond the issue.
“There has been an over-reaction,” one of the officials told Fox
News. The U.S. “needs to take a deep breath. You got Usama bin Laden.
We're happy he got killed. But the way it was done we're not happy with.
We didn't like that."

As seems to be the norm, nothing we say here about this can make one whit of difference anyway.
