Situation with India worsens...Indian Government demands Obama apologize.

[Dave44]

This issue has nothing to do with any particular party affiliation. I do not support the current puppet, but I don't see any reason for an apology either. And if cheek swabbing constitutes a cavity search in her opinion then maybe she should get a real cavity search. Not to mention this from the U.S. Attorney, some of it I've already stated myself here (Actually I said it on the thread that was deleted)-

He acknowledged she had been “fully searched by a female Deputy Marshal in a private setting,” but said, “this is standard practice for every defendant, rich or poor, American or not, in order to make sure that no prisoner keeps anything on his person that could harm anyone, including himself.”

He disputed that Khobragade was handcuffed or arrested in front of her children, and noted that she was “was accorded courtesies well beyond what other defendants … are accorded,” such as use of her cell phone and time to arrange alternative child care arrangements. He added that the housekeeper’s family had been relocated from India to the United States to ensure their safety after they were confronted about the case.

11:20 pm: Devyani not subjected to cavity search - US Marshals

Indian diplomat Devyani Khobragade was not subject to cavity search, as being alleged, the US Marshals Services claimed today.

"In reference to your question about the cavity search, the answer is no," Nikki Credic-Barrett, spokesperson of the US Marshals Service, said in response to a question on the allegations by the family of the senior Indian diplomat that she was subject to cavity search. - PTI

Maybe she didn't get a cavity search.. I don't know.. This is one of those topics that interest me simply because of the implications.


Previous post by me-
"I also have to wonder what the wages we pay for "servants" in our embassies?(it is US property, right?) If the rest of the world decides to hold us to our own standards it could be rough.

In the article I think it said the administrative staffs wages didn't equate to that much either? Different countries have differing costs of living. Although I am not advocating any "caste" system I am with all of the Democrats on this,, let other countries decide their own future, the uncomfortable problem for democrats is we then need to leave those countries alone! "


What I am saying is that it is a slippery slope that our gov decided to enforce the low wage war with another country. So what if another country wants to go after one or a bunch of our people that are paying the current rate in another country, like 5$ a year or something? And diggum, party affiliation doesn't matter,, But I disagree with saying leave a country alone and then turn around and tell them what to do.

Anyway,, not really disagreeing with you, Just trying to clarify my point.. I see this as kind of a big deal, Crispin is spot on with this thread.

DIGGUM,

My point is this adminstration picks and chooses what laws to enforce, they ignore millions breaking our laws and arrest a single female diplomat for a visa issue.

Any illegal alien who enters commits a misdemeanor, any illegal alien who is pick up twice for illegal entry has committed a felony.

We will NOT go quietly into the night!

I'll agree with you on that point. But then the government has always had it's picks and chooses, regardless of which administration it is/was. That is nothing new.

Don't have time to reply to others yet, on my way out the door.
