The CIA is reportedly extremely annoyed at the continued detention of top CIA operative Raymond Davis over the murder of two Pakistanis on the streets of Lahore, insisting that Davis deserves “diplomatic immunity” for the killings.
Now, according to those reports, the CIA is mulling retaliatory targeting of Pakistani diplomats across the world, in the hopes of putting them in a similar circumstance as a way of spiting the Pakistani government or perhaps shaming them into releasing Davis.
Davis’ story has been major news in Pakistan, where he was initially referred to as a “consulate employee” but it was later admitted that he was a top CIA operative in the nation, and his claims of “self-defense” fell apart in the face of evidence that he jumped out of the car and chased one of his victims down the street to finish him off.
The claims of diplomatic immunity have continued and incredibly even escalated after it was revealed that Davis was not a diplomat, but a spy. The Zardari government, faced with public outrage, has insisted it will let the matter play out in court.
So what exactly USG or its boss CIA is going to do,arrest and drag Pakistan's Diplomat to GB.I wonder what will they accuse these diplomat with.Shame on you USA shame on you.Now everyone with common sense can see how low you can play..
Oh, and now it's gotten to the point where Davis "deserves" diplomatic immunity, even tho he's NOT a diplomat but a rogue cowboy who probably thought his cowboy buddies were going to pull his rogue ass out of the predicament HE created. If he had handled the situation, whatever it was, like a professional "diplomat" instead of a semi-professional rambo then his claims of diplomatic immunity might have been forthcoming. But NOooooo!!! He had to pull out the pistola and blow them away. Well hell, he's a tough character, one of those XE cowboys so let his stupid ass go thru the Pakistani court system – I wonder what the outcome will be?
As for targeting Pak "diplomats", I really hope they are not as stupid as that. I mean the Paks are not as stable and civilized as the USG…ooops, nevermind…
I completely agree with curmudgeonvt !!! But I assign the BLAME further up the chain of command..
FIRE LEON PINETTA…….Cut off the head of the snake… How did this RAMBOZZO rise to the position of station chief.?? Acting or otherwise?? It appears that the rot that the bush boyz broght to that organization has engulphed it from the TOP down.. Who Is Leon Pinetta… Why did he want the top CIA job…?? He has NO intelligence background and this latest episode instructs us that intelligence has been replaced with the cult of Rambo impunity and infected with xenophobia… It appears that Leon Pinetta is a spook wannabee…… One who looks up to the Rambos… & morons. All we need to do is see is how Davis is clothed to understand there is something wrong over at Foggy Bottom.. Ray McGovern has written about the cult of impunity there and what needs to be done to restore the proper function of the organization… More "intelligence" and less "operations" is the prescription…
Look at the world news on this incident:
FROM THREE SOURCES…!!
"CIA spy" Davis was giving nuclear bomb material to Al-Qaeda, says report"
"Double murder-accused US official Raymond Davis has been found in possession of top-secret CIA documents, which point to him or the feared American Task Force 373 (TF373) operating in the region, providing Al-Qaeda terrorists with "nuclear fissile material" and "biological agents," according to a report." http://www.britainnews.net/story/746756/ht/CIA-sp….
The report said Davis was discovered making contacts with Qaeda after his cell phone was tracked to the Waziristan tribal area bordering Afghanistan.
“The combat skills exhibited by Davis, along with documentation taken from him after his arrest, prove him being a member of the TF373 black operations unit currently operating in the Afghan War Theater and Pakistani tribal areas, and comprised US Military Special Forces soldiers, CIA spies and freelance mercenaries,” said the report. http://www.asianewsnet.net/home/news.php?sec=1&am….

These were the last three footnotes in the Wikipedia article "Raymond Allen Davis"…….
It is beginning to look like the "O" crew will need more than Asif Siddiqiu to trade for this amazing Raymbozzo Moron…!! LOEN PINETTA, the PINHEAD needs to get a new 'position.. Dogcatcher is MY suggestion…. Leon Pinetta for DOGCATCHER…. Pitty the dogs….
The Yanks won't win this. If they think things are tough now just keep poking that hornets nest and see how much hell they unleash.
CIA is completely out of control because they have had impunity from their criminal acts for over 3 decades now since the Church Commission. They do not even report their crimes to congress, the president or probably even Panetta himself, they simply do what they do and keep it within 'the need to know' bubble. They assassinate people all over the world all the time and usually the blame is pinned on others. Hariri case is one instance. The Cheonan is another.
"But fans say Panetta, who started his political life as a Republican, is a skilled manager who can work with both parties to get things done. He is widely credited with bringing order to a disorganized Clinton White House.
Panetta also has strong background in budgetary issues (he ran the Office of Management and Budget for a year under Clinton) and experience with foreign policy as a member of the Iraq Study Group, a bipartisan commission that developed a series of proposals for handling the Iraq war."
Nice how he has joined so assiduously Pres. "O's" Merry Band of TRAJAN WHORES…..
"CIA is mulling retaliatory targeting of Pakistani diplomats across the world, in the hopes of putting them in a similar circumstance "
I guess the next Pakistani diplomat to gun down US citizens on a US street will be in big trouble then.Or are they to be arrested merely for "being Pakistani diplomats"?
The difference between a Pakistani DIPLOMAT in the US and Davis in pakistan is that the pakistani Diplomat will have a Diplomatic Passport on him all the time.
Davis entered Pakistan on a standard US Passport and didnt get a Diplomatic Passport until the day AFTER he gunned down and then summarily executed two Pakistanis. One would think that if they did indeed fire on him in the first Instance, Davis would have waited for the Pakistani Police to show, and organise an interogation of the Prisoners, but no Davis decided to just kill them outright, both Pakistanis were in fact shot in the back.
Furthermore the Vienna Conventions allow for Diplomats to be tried in the country where the crime has been committed, if it is a serious crime. I do believe that Killing someone is about as serious as they come in relation to serious crimes. Also a SPY is NOT able to at any time claim Diplomatic immunity for his covert activities, as such he has on three different levels NO diplomatic Immunity.
What the US is proposing is exactly what a mafia would do. "If you don't do as we like, we'll just kill you all" Or else, they are so desperate taht they don't know what they say. Poor bastards. Every day a new crisis appears. It must be hard to keep on.
