CIA’s Raymond Davis — “our diplomat,” Obama calls him—beats murder rap in Pakistan (http://markcrispinmiller.com/2011/03/cias-raymond-davis-our-diplomat-obama-calls-him-beats-murder-rap-in-pakistan/)

Raymond Davis a CIA Contractor, US Confirms (http://news.antiwar.com/2011/02/21/raymond-davis-a-cia-contractor-us-confirms/)

US Still Insists He Has 'Diplomatic Immunity'

by Jason Ditz, February 21, 2011

Despite referring to him since his arrest as a “technical advisor” and despite President Obama referring to him as “our diplomat,” Davis is confirmed as a contractor to the CIA, and is responsible for providing security to CIA spies who travel in Pakistan (http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/world/la-fg-pakistan-cia-20110222,0,7234338.story). Incredibly, the US is still demanding that Davis be released without charges and insists that he is entitled to “diplomatic immunity” because, even though he was actually a spy, he is still officially (though apparently fraudulently) listed as a member of the embassy’s technical staff.
