Yea I just heard that too. He is being detained by a local police station who is disputing his diplomatic status, and saying he was not authorized to carry a firearm.

I really get sick and tired of all this foriegn aid crap.
From the article;
Quote:
Washington has made strengthening ties with Pakistan a top priority and is committed to giving it $7.5 billion dollars in civilian aid, one of its largest programs anywhere in the world. It wants to secure the country's help in stabilizing Afghanistan by attacking militant sanctuaries on its side of the border
Sounds like a job for one of our SMUs, ala Kurt Muse.
Senator Kerry is going to get involved in this. I'm not so sure that is a good thing.

U.S. Sen. John Kerry promised the Pakistani people Tuesday that a jailed U.S. embassy worker will be subjected to a U.S. criminal investigation if he is released by the Pakistani government.
Kerry also expressed regret for the deaths of two Pakistani men in an apparent attempt to smooth over relations with the important ally in the war against extremists and al-Qaeda while still insisting that the American needs to be released.

First Senator Kerry is called to clean up the Egypt mess, now this. Senator Kerry is the go to guy when the chips are down. God help us.
I thank God quite a bit for declining the job offer I had from DSS back in '05. Hope the gubmnt doesn't leave this guy hanging.
What exactly would the US criminal investigation involve? A crime, if any, took place outside our jurisdiction right?
