Not sure what to make of this incident, except that the Indian government and population are furious.
Is 0bama trying to sabotage relations with another vital ally? The thought has certainly crossed my mind.
The US Attorney in New York was born in INDIA.
Many Indian immigrants have a strong dislike for India and the culture of the subcontinent.
The alleged strip-search video is apparently a hoax:
The Indian people are normally measured and conservative. To hear this sort of commentary out of India is troubling to say the least.
don’t get this. thought diplomatic immunity would cover this, seems to cover everything else.
Of course (Democrat-run) America is ugly.
B*tt ugly.
MSNBC ugly.
Obamadork ugly.
We need an ugly-excision.
Stat.
As for New York...you ain’t seen really ugly yet.
When you listen to pissant types like Carney, and the way we’ve treated our allies during the past few years, it’s clear we’re a bunch jerks in the eyes of the world.
We have suitless incompetent at the helm who does nothing but campaign and play golf. Everything he does is political and with an eye on his poll numbers.
We have a long way to go. I look for this guy to be tested. China will continue to provoke its neighbors, Russia with poke us in the eye, and we’ll see the Iran betrayal within the next six months or so.
On the home front, more unraveling and discourse esp with Hillary entering her hat in the ring.
I disagree with the notion of the return of the ‘ugly’ American. With the NYPD as an example I would say that we are seeing the rise of the Dangerous American.
Yes, his strategy is counting on Indian authorities confusing the attitudes and actions of American government employees with those of American citizens civilians, and desires negative consequences on American citizen civilians outside the US for optics.
Dictators always create a threat to distract negative attention from themselves.
“India’s Minister of State for Human Resource Development”
Yea, and here in the US we have HR departments ramming diversity down our throats. Apparently they don’t do that in India.
IF this story is as reported, somebody screwed up a lot.
This would be somewhat understandable had it occurred with local law enforcement in Podunk.
But US State Department Diplomatic Security Service agents really ought to be up on this stuff.
While Obama is undoubtedly happy that there are problems with the US India relationship, this strategy would cause him heartburn. The US official policy of aiding and spreading the homosexual lifestyle around the world in contravention to local laws and mores needs a forceful push back.
Teach us a lesson and take back all your crap quality software “engineers” so Americans can have the jobs.
The animals who arrested and then digitally raped this woman guywith their fingers should be shot and their handlers imprisoned.
The Indians just found out the USA is now a police state.
I’ve wondered about this story on at least two related fronts:
1. Is it typical to arrest, and to jail pretrial (rather than to release on O.R. or a small bond), ANYone suspected of underpaying employees? That sounds like a civil and/or regulatory matter, not a criminal one, at least not unless the alleged abuses are far more severe than underpayment. (This question is without regard to the foreign/ diplomatic status of the defendant.)
2. I thought any credentialed diplomat was diplomatically immune from prosecution, including arrest, period. All the host nation can do (I thought, apparently incorrectly?) is to declare the diplomat Persona Non Grata and give him/her 72 hours or so to GTFO.
The only explaination that makes sense.
