Where is the outrage?

I'm always amazed when I read the papers and listen to TV, and I mainly read the New York Times and watch MS-NBC (hardly right-leaning entities), when something so obviously evil to me is not even questioned by most Americans.  The huge fuss in our government and newspapers concerning the imprisonment of Dr. Shakii Afridi, who was sentenced this week in Pakistan to 33 years prison for high treason, is a good example.  He ran a vaccination program for the CIA to collect DNA to verify bin Laden's presence in the town of Abbottabad, where Navy Seals killed bin Laden in May 2011.  Just about everyone in the U.S. is up in arms at his imprisonment, including many on the left.  If anyone on the left disagrees with the prevailing American view that Afridi is a hero, not a traitor, I haven't seen or heard it.  Send me the articles if you know of any.

I seem to be the lone person who asks:  if an American doctor, living within the United States, accepted pay from a foreign entity to vaccinate innocent civilians in a secret effort to collect their DNA, would we actually give that person a medal as some in Congress suggested we do with Afridi or would he instead by arrested and tried for treason, or more important medical malpractice, or whatever other laws he may have broken--and there would be many.

It would appear that the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment, where for a period of 40 years the U.S. Health Department permitted black men to live with and die from syphilis, as laboratory animals in a study of how long it takes for syphilis to kill someone, or the experiments in Guatemala where the U.S. led experiments to infect prostitutes, prisoners and mental patients with syphilis without their consent (83 people died as a result) are not aberrations. Americans persist in believing that minorities, the poor, the mentally ill, indeed, anyone not American and in particular not white, are at our disposal. Our purposes trump all others. One American life saved is worth thousands of innocent lives lost, so long as the innocents are not on American soil, except, of course when the victims are poor or people of color, usually both. Tuskegee is in Alabama.

Treason has nothing to do with it.  Any doctor, living anywhere, who uses his medical skills for political purposes is a criminal.  Any government that pays or encourages doctors to use those skills for political purposes is also criminal. Where is the outrage?
