This is the most recent. I haven't heard about it happening in the past. But it's now VERY high profile about the use (or abuse) of diplomatic immunity.
Do you think she should come back (be sent back) to face trial?

If she were a person of integrity, she would go back on her own.

Despite being in the UK, I subscribe to a lot of international news sites, inclusing American ones.

I came across the following news story, and wonder what you would make of it?

Apparently a British Intelligence agent and his wife were posted to work on an American Base. Don't ask me why, the word 'intelligence' says it all to me.

So the item went, the wife took the car to go to the nearest town, and left the base on the wrong side of the road.

She then collided with a bicyclist coming towards her (on the correct side of the road).

The bicyclist died at the scene.

She spoke to the police when they arrived and promised not to leave the country.

A couple of days later, she left the country with her husband, claiming diplomatic immunity.

The local police determined that they wanted to charge her with vehiclular homicide, and asked the authorities to ask for her extradition.

The British Foreign Office refused.

Clearly you are asking us to put the shoe on our own foot. I am another who views the entire misfortunate event as an accident, the woman was not drinking and driving, it was an accident. Possibly compensation is in order for the family, but there is no justice in sentencing this woman to any type of jail or prison term.

It happened in your own country in 1984 when some Libyans fired bullets out of their embassy into a crowd of protesters in London, killing YVonne Fletcher. The Libyans were eventually allowed to leave unpunished after a protracted siege of their embassy. This one was no accident.

A Burmese diplomat murdered his wife in Ceylon and got away with it du to diplomatic immunity.

There have been murders, gang rapes, sexual assaults, vehicular homicides like the current one in England, and all sorts of mayhem that has gone unpunished due to the law of diplomatic immunity.

Let’s review:

-The OP lied.

- I assumed they weren’t a liar.

- Your personal animus leads you into an ad hominem attack because your reptilian brain couldn’t resist.

And this is not ad hominem?

"Your personal animus leads you into an ad hominem attack because your reptilian brain couldn’t resist."

I have already proven you to be a liar and now you are (again) proving yourself to be a fool. Add you, of people posting here, complaining about ad hominem proves you to be a first order hypocrite.

You have a bad case of "can dish it out nut can't take it" syndrome.

Hey I have an idea! Stop calling me a liar every time you disagree with me and see how I react? After that, we can work on your manifest dishonesty, arrogance and snide.

We might make you fit for polite society someday.

How about you review your initial ad hominem attack on Frank when he had it right and you had it wrong?

You would not know the truth if it jumped our of the bushes and bit you in the ass.

You are nothing more than the school yard bully who picks on the wrong kid, gets his nose bloodied and runs home to mommie crying how mean everyone at school is.

Hilarious. And Pathetic.

You have your facts wrong. It was an American in Great Britain. The whole thing stinks to high heavens. She is guilty, admitted to it, but has fled back to the U.S. and is claiming diplomatic immunity.

Should be extradited but probably won't be because according to current international law she does indeed have diplomatic immunity.

Make you a deal ... stop lying and I'll stop pointing it out.

But, I remember, you are the one who claimed once that if you believe something is true then it is true.

Oh, I get it ... the one that doesn't exist.

My reply to Frank was 100% accurate based on the OP.

As to calling hime Fwankie ... he has went after both my wife and daughter so I really don't care what he thinks. That being said, those attacks by him didn't bother you? Why is that?
