Update: The Truth Comes Out

American government officials now say that Raymond Davis, the American man arrested in Pakistan last month after shooting two men dead in Lahore, was part of a covert, C.I.A.-led team of operatives, according to The New York Times.

Yeah, I think we already figured that one out

But The Wall Street Journal, meanwhile, reports that American officials say Davis "was not directly involved in spying operations," and only provided security to officials with the CIA and other agencies.

Uh-huh. He just needed to kill those two Pak guys, because….why?

Perhaps he was guarding spying CIA offiiclas.

Americans have argued that the shooting was self-defense, and that Davis has diplomatic immunity. Officials originally said that Davis was a "member of the technical and administrative staff" of the embassy in Islamabad.

The Times reports that a Lahore police report published in English by The Daily Times over the weekend raises questions about the self-defense case, pointing out that the victims were shot in the back.

Yeah, that kind of blows that argument, doesn’t it?

....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
