Pakistan: Can America Get Away With Murder?

by Shahid R. Siddiqi from Voltaire

People are asking a lot of questions regarding this incident that is the source of widespread Pakistani anger.
Why is the State Department so nervous and jittery with Davis being held in the custody of Pakistani authorities? What secrets are the Americans afraid of being revealed by him? Why is this man so important that they are ready to sacrifice a 60-year old relationship and a strategic partnership? Do they want to block his trial at all costs because of the risk of his confession that he killed those boys in his line of duty, an admission that would implicate the State Department, CIA and other US agencies?
The author assembles as much evidence as he can to suggest some answers.

And read about what Pakistani authorities found on this mysterious character when they searched him.
