#6 "diplomat" may be stretching the definition. According to StrategyPage:
December 22, 2006: A U.S. Army raid in Iraq caught four Iranian government officials. Two had diplomatic immunity, and were soon released. The other two appeared to be military technical experts, in Iraq to show pro-Iranian Shia fighters how to make better bombs against foreign troops, and Iraqis who did not support Iranian goals. The Kurdish president of Iraq said the two men were his "guests," but the Americans refused to release the two until an investigation was completed.

Hang them.
