A Pakistani court has said a CIA contractor facing trial over the fatal shooting of two men does not have diplomatic immunity.The court in the eastern city of Lahore also adjourned hearing of the case where Raymond Davis, 36, is being tried until March 8.
Thursday's decision is at least a temporary blow to the US, which insists Davis was considered a diplomat and was acting in self-defence against the dead men, whom he called robbers.
[...]
Last month an influential US senator, John Kerry, apologised to the Pakistani government over the shooting but Barack Obama, the US president, has said Davis enjoys diplomatic immunity under the Vienna Conventions.
"We expect Pakistan ... to abide by the same convention," Obama said.
Although they finally admitted Davis is a CIA operative. And because we always abide by universal conventions, notably the Geneva convention.
Really, when all is said and done, will the CIA prove to be the worst thing that ever happened to the world? They'll certainly be at the top of the list.
