[Devil Soul]

guys stop being emotional, why are u ashamed of being a Pakistani? frankly tell me didnt u expect this? i'm sure a lot of u guys were sure that sooner or later this guy was going to be released......

 

[KS]

why you are so much offended by his release ?

You are sitting in India do you know what had gone behind the screen ??

and no question of hype everything happened for good and according to the process.

US demanded diplomatic immunity we Refused they accepted our stand.

we busted their spy network got more details about their spies here and brought them under our radar.

And he is released after families of victims agree. its not illegal it has happened all under legal process.

Both sides saved the day and neither US done any blunder nor Pakistan. this shows both sides tread on a balanced path.

I don't have to look behind the screen to know that neither were the signatures of the families put under full agreement nor RD will not be released.

If US wants, he will be released. Anyway if Pakistanis think it is good for their country I am ok with it.

releasing a spy is a good deal ? pakistan could have busted many networks in baluchistan using him ,

Not likely sir. we had extracted as much info as we could have.

its a good step

This is what happened.

Saudi ambassador comes up with ‘Raymond offer’ | Pakistan | News | Newspaper | Daily | English | Online

ISLAMABAD - Interior Minister Rehman Malik’s meeting with Saudi Ambassador to Pakistan Abdul Aziz bin Ibrahim al Ghadeer on Wednesday raised a question about the likely role of Saudi Arabia in the release of double murder accused US national Raymond Davis- a possibility which was also hinted at by the Prime Minister Gilani during a meeting with senior journalists in Lahore, the other day.

Informed insiders privy to this development shared with The Nation that the Saudi Envoy had offered to facilitate Umrah for the bereaved families who lost their family members at the hands of CIA agent Raymond Davis in cold-blooded murder saga on January 27 this year. The Interior Minister and the Saudi Envoy reportedly discussed the options to pave way for Raymond’s release. The possibility regarding the payment of heavy compensation to the families of Faheem, Faizan and Ibaad-ur-Rehman, in order to give Davis a safe passage, was also discussed by both the officials.

When asked, a senior Saudi official laughed off this scribe’s queries regarding the reported offer made by the Saudi Ambassador during Wednesday’s meeting. When insistently asked for tentative details, the official neither confirmed nor denied this information and said, “There are certain things that can’t be commented on, not even tentatively,” asked if it meant that the information this scribe had was credible, the Saudi official laughed again and said, “Have it your way. I have given a statement, it’s up to you to interpret unless you don’t name me in your story.”

However, Interior Minister Rehman Malik denied that Saudi Envoy Abdul Aziz bin Ibrahim al Ghadeer put any such offer before him in the meeting. “No sir, it is wrong,” the minister wrote in brief response to this journalist’s text message asking the minister if he could comment on the information that the Saudi Envoy offered to facilitate Umrah for the victim families of Lahore incident.

Recently, the Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani had hinted at the possible role of Saudi government in ‘solving’ the Raymond Davis issue during an informal interactive session with senior journalists from national media in Lahore.

According to the sources, after the US Embassy and Pakistan’s Interior Ministry failed to lure the victim families with hefty compensation including US nationalities, millions of dollars and other ‘rewards’, both the US and Pakistan are seeking Saudi Arabia’s help on the grounds that the Muslim country could attract sympathetic consideration of the bereaved families using the religion card and ‘soften’ their principled stance. In protest against the ‘royal’ treatment extended to Raymond Davis in Kot Lakhpat Jail Lahore, Faheem’s widow had committed suicide last month. The other family members of the three slain Pakistanis are allegedly facing threats by the US authorities to accept compensation against loss of lives.

The Interior Ministry in its official statement regarding Wednesday’s meeting stated that Pakistan and Saudi Arabia “Agreed to introduce an effective checking system to curb drugs smuggling besides taking severe action against smugglers.”

People claimed that this was really a battle between the federal (PPP) and Punjab (PMLN) governments.

US owns the former, and Saudi Arabia owns the latter.

Problem solved.

if US owns the former, they why even question bt the later, the former is american pawn and they control the laws, maybe PPP even forced the families to except the money and forgive him


why other cases were not registered, davis was not a normal murderous guy

Banana Republic !!!

 

[Abu Basit]

lolzz i am sure he will not be happy over this development and his portal might criticise this decision.

so take a pick if you are against him or support him for his such criticism

than lets see if he's consistent in his criticism against such shameful acts by our very own ISI, shouldn't he be more balanced instead of trying to portray that our army is kinda salahuddun Ayyubi's army ~ stop fooling us!

 

[Solomon2]

If he has been freed here according to law then even if he is a diplomat in US book, even then he is not going to be trialed in US its clear

Had Pakistan confirmed his diplomatic status the Davis case could have been brought to the U.S. Had Pakistan extended full immunity (civil, not just the criminal he had as "admin staff") the families could at least have sued for damages in a U.S. court. That's all gone now. No possibility of either a criminal trial in the U.S. because the F.O. wouldn't admit his status, no possibility of a civil trial because blood money was paid.

Davis got the best of both worlds, the families of the men he killed did O.K., but the justice process got shafted, and any possibility of moral elevation of our two countries has evaporated. It leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.

 

[Secret Service]

Nothing like this could have happened without an OK from GHQ.

again self assumptions....I know you Indians are more happy on his release then Americans...
