somewhere along the line, the body of your message was lost...
the concept is interesting... diplomatic immunity is not automatic in
that it implies diplomatic recognition. does a rogue state enjoy the
privilege of obviously bogus diplomatic passports? the diplomatic
passport is a "gentleman's agreement" to facilitate trading intelligence
officers --sarcastic maybe, truthful? been there, done that.
if nothing else, the bearer of a diplomatic passport can be
effectively forcing house arrest in the embassy/consulate while the
host government forces a recall --I hope the islands have a luxury
hotel in every port of call.
actually, I would be more interested in your comments on the wire
fraud charges used for an "insufficient" lab facility of a known
microbiologist who happens to be a kook. standard US procedural use
of conspiracy or wire fraud and/or conspiracy to force a plea bargain.
In return, we get more government bureaucracy, and probably government
review of credentials, or licensing. academic freedom?
