UK: ‘Raymond Davis incident: What sort of diplomat carries a loaded gun?’
1st February 2011
Well, just off the top of my head, I’d say: One who doesn’t want to be robbed, kidnapped, or murdered … all of which have happened recently to Americans in Pakistan.
That’s just a guess, you understand.
And for America, the case risks revealing many awkward truths. Who exactly is Raymond Davis, described by the US as a member of “technical and administrative staff”? What sort of “diplomat” carries a weapon? What was he doing driving alone through Lahore? Was he actually working for a private military contractor, Hyperion? Was he meeting an informer? Such is the panic, that last week the State Department spokesman denied his name was even “Raymond Davis”. Then this week, a spokeswoman for the embassy in Islamabad said Crowley had not denied the name was “Raymond Davis”.
The only awkward truth revealed here is that the American Foreign Service is staffed by an agglomeration of feckless retards, who work for a State Department run by dickless douchebags (yeah, I’m lookin’ at you, Hil). And anybody with a brain already knew that.

Fixed now. Not my week, I guess.
