We either have diplomatic immunity or we don’t. If we had a CinC with a set, this contretemps would just be a footnote. Some people DO abuse their immunity. I flaunted my immunity in Havana regularly, but only to get around some of their traffic regulations. It really irked the Cuban cops to have to let the imperialist warmonger running dog of Wall Street skate out of a ticket.

I think this shows the limits of the central govt’s power compared to the provincial govt. It’s been whipped into a national sovereignty issue. CIA etc. Remember what happened to the prov. leader who was just mentioning curtailing the blasphemy laws—killed by his bodyguard. Going against the rabid street can get you killed. Right now the rabid street (nationalistic and islamicist combined) will not permit him to be released. We could PNG the entire Paki entourage, it won’t get him out. It’s past that. He will probably be lynched and ripped to shreds. The blood is up for him.
