Nothing about the arrest of Devyani Khobragade here?

I would've figured on a political forum there would be an argument over the arrest of Devyani Khobragade and subsequent political row between the US and India. Nothing, huh?

Actually, she...



...is an Indian envoy who was arrested by US Marshals and strip-searched for alleged falsification of visa information. Officials and the people of India are perturbed.

We don't care when Americans are treated like that, why should we care about the foreign lady?

If the Indians want to make a huge outrageous wound to their national pride out of it, that's their problem. Nothing real will happen.

Nor do I have any respect for the class status of the lady in India, which apparently dictates that she is due kid glove treatment, not the same as lowlife scum, esp. American lowlife scum.

Understand, for what it's worth I favor the police being in kid glove mode at all times for everyone. This to counter the natural impulse for harshness that arises in that job....

Just looked it up. She's kinda hot, so I think they should let her go.

I believe that if she was within her rights under diplomatic immunity, then the government is wrong and should let her go. That being said, I've always believed that diplomatic immunity itself is a bunch of shit. If you're in our country, you should have to abide by our laws and the same goes for our diplomats abroad.

I want to strip search her too. And it has nothing to do with her Visa status.

Apparently she is an 'untouchable', the lowest caste.

Good gravy. Get arrested, get stripsearched at the station. That said we should probably just let her go.

Perturbed is a mild word.
