It can be waived on a case-by-case basis as was so with the killing of a Londoner by a Jordanian diplomat some years ago.

A public spanking would be in order for all four of them...and then a second one for claiming diplomatic immunity.

This is no doubt an example of when a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing.

Dad: Son, you cannot be prosecuted for your actions so that our government cannot be blackmailed in its diplomatic relations.

Son: (One ear on the telephone) Hmmm? Oh, OK. I can do whatever the hell I want. Gotcha, Dad...

So whatcha doin Saturday night, Ralph? Wanna get wild and crazy and trash some park benches? I've got a get out of jail free card. Ain't this privileged life grand?
