Nothing about the arrest of Devyani Khobragade here?

Looks like a little cable news to sell while Congress is in recess. Issa ain't around to bring up Benghazi up again like a bad burrito.

Seriously, It doesn't look like we treated her like diplomat and probably should give her amnesty. We would expect the same from our friends in India for one of ours after all. I can imagine Hannity and friends is making her into some sort of an enemy agent.

This writer conveniently left out the fact that the Indians removed the
concrete barriers from some US consular buildings exposing them to
potential suicide bombers.

1. She did not possess full immunity at the time of charge.
2. She was afforded every possible courtesy.

What's the rub?

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

That's 'old' caste system. Her office is high-status, or so I understand. Or perhaps she's been elevated for nationalistic outrage purposes in India.....

Don I noticed that. They want a real incident let a car bomb in!

DQ, she was working as a domestic servant for $3.30 an hour, is the issue I believe. I think you're right, domestic politics in India.

What I wondered about was - Was that strip search perhaps caused by, or at least influenced by, the fact that she's an attractive woman?

Aside from that - It appears to be a situation where US officials should have taken this up through diplomatic channels.

Huh? I thought the flap was over the arrest of the consular official who employed the domestic servant. Correct me if I'm wrong....

probaly has something to do with her looks(depends on the horny bastards at the holding facility),but she should not have been treated differently

It's standard intake and was, I am sure, conducted by a female professional.
