Raymond Davis pardoned by families of two slain Pakistanis in exchange for compensation
Mar 16, 2011 - Police fired tear gas against protesters burning tires outside a U.S. consulate in Pakistan after the release of CIA contractor Raymond Allen Davis who killed two Pakistani men.
The clashes Wednesday in Lahore involved around 200 people. There were small protests in other main cities as well. Police made several arrests in Lahore and struck other people with batons, according to witnesses.
A CIA contractor who shot and killed two Pakistani men was freed from prison on Wednesday after the United States paid $2.34 million in "blood money" to the victims' families, Pakistani officials said, defusing a dispute that had strained ties between Washington and Islamabad.
In what appeared to be carefully choreographed end to the diplomatic crisis, the U.S. Embassy said the Justice Department had opened an investigation into the killings on Jan. 27 by Raymond Allen Davis. It thanked the families for "their generosity" in pardoning Davis, but did not mention any money changing hands.
Davis left the country immediately on a U.S. flight, Pakistani and American officials said. {continued}
We know the costs in blood, never to totally in civilians, but what of the costs in treasury still not paid! How much to buy the coalition of the willing, how much to buy the CIA rendition and secret prisons globalizing torture, how much for the decades to come as to the results of both wars, more. Neither has been paid for, rubber stamping and rapid deficit rises started Before 9/11 and nothing as to the peoples responsibility, the VA, as to just one of the needs in those results from!
