Robert sent me this from Texas (I cite with his permission): "Here is the U.S. State Department's document
called "Diplomatic and Consular Immunity, Guidance for Law Enforcement and Judicial Authorities".
It is about 5.2 megabytes in size, and so I did not attach it because it might clog up your e-mail box. The handbook is quite interesting, as it deals with how U.S. law enforcement and courts might deal with
foreign diplomats and staff. You can see why the U.S. is trying to say that Davis was a member of
the "technical staff". The document is referenced in the latest article by Dave Lindorff on the "Raymond Davis" detention matter in Pakistan. The New York Times article you linked to at your site yesterday on the Davis affair was so amusing I laughed out loud; Sen. John Kerry was sent over there to try to make a deal or otherwise issue threats, plus that the U.S. Justice Dept. will do a criminal investigation of Davis if he is released, after having said it was self defense!"
