#3 Don't be surprised 3dc when we get the news that Farhadi has been released, upon further investigation of his visiting status. The Rules of Engagement are softened while the US continues to pursue diplomatic 'surging', despite the mounting losses to the US's troops. However I smell a soft walking big stick carrying development of US policy in the air!

#4 So long as Mr. Farhadi has revealed everything he knows, and his laptop and cell phone as well, it doesn't matter whether he stays or gets sent home.

#5 When he's released, also release leaks that his release was because of how cooperative he was.

#6 Couldn't an enterprising DA arrest and indict dinnerjacket on an aiding terrorst charge? I can't imagine we can't make an argument against immunity or just ignore it to throw him in Rikers. Let him out later if need be.

Or, how about the US disappear the ENTIRE traveling party from his hotel while he's here? Just have the State department announce they have requested political asylum and no further comments.

Or... Don't some of the ex-Iran Hostages have outstanding judgments against Iran? If so, can they impound the Iran Airways 747 he flew in on. I can't see how immunity coiuld apply here as objects don't have rights. See seizures, case in USA.

Any thoughts?

#7 Nope. Heads of State get diplomatic immunity when they go visiting. Else President Bush wouldn't ever be able to land Air Force 1 outside U.S. borders for fear of an overzealous Belgian or French or German prosecutor.
