Kenya is not the US and one item is that I would want to (even if he stayed for further investigation) get the family out of the country for their own safety. No matter what, they were not involved in the accident.
Diplomatic immunity is one of those items I don't know all the ins and outs about.
Uhm, I don't get the vibe here? What do you mean? Why do I need to understand what you were discussing?
Agreed, getting the family out is a no-brainer and not an issue.

I mean that I (Kitsune) wanted to understand where your arguments were coming from. . . .A good example

Whose family are you talking about pulling out? Who are the people engaged in 'business as usual?'
The business as usual was something nothing to do with this
It was about the US delaying some technology for the Gripen NG to advance the F-35
Some people called it strong arming but seemed to just be business as usual on what I would expect.
As far as India and this issue, I was (in part) just asking questions to understand for myself.

It's India, with the usual "I'm forever persecuted" complex. What else is new? Let those corrupt fuckwits rant and wave the nationalist flag all they want. The current government is due to lose the election in a year anyway and they are desperate for anything that makes themselves look good.

I am Indian and I will agree with you. Our current crop of politicians are a bunch of are a bunch fuckwits. A lot of this outrage is politcal for consumption at home to look tough for the upcomng general election. Most of our politcians should be strip and cavity searched in India in my opinion. It might be help with our corruption problems.
(CNN) -- India's deputy consul general, whose arrest and strip-search in New York spawned a diplomatic row, was expected to depart the United States Thursday, two senior U.S. officials said, the same day prosecutors announced she was indicted for alleged visa fraud.
Tensions have escalated between India and the United States over the December arrest and treatment of Devyani Khobragade, with New Delhi demanding Washington apologize and drop charges against her accusing her of lying on a visa application for her former housekeeper.
Khobragade was indicted Wednesday by a federal grand jury on one count of visa fraud and one count of making false statements, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.
Earlier in the day in a letter to a federal judge, U.S. District Attorney Preet Bharara said the diplomat would not be arraigned on the charges because she had left the country. Later, the U.S. Attorney's Office withdrew the claim, saying it had been informed by the State Department that she "was to have left the United States this afternoon."
Khobragade's attorney told CNN late Thursday afternoon that she was still in the United States, but declined to say whether she planned to leave later.
"Despite Preet Bharara's reports to the contrary, Devyani Khobragade has not left the country. She is at home with her children," her attorney told CNN. "This is her status as of now."
What do you mean? Why do I need to understand what you were discussing?
