President Barack Obama said Pakistan mustn’t prosecute a U.S. consulate worker who has been charged with murder in Pakistan and imprisoned after the shooting deaths of two Pakistanis.
“Obviously, we’re concerned about the loss of life,” Obama said at a Washington press conference yesterday. Still, he said, the U.S. worker, Raymond Davis, should be treated as a diplomat. “There’s a broader principle at stake that I think we have to uphold,” he said.
