COMMENTS: Diplomats Offer Immunity
Since diplomatic bodyguards working for the Blackwater USA paramilitary contractor killed 17 Iraqi civilians in Baghdad's Nisoor Square, CBS (14 reports v ABC 4, NBC 9) has followed up on the story most intensely. David Martin's latest update from the Pentagon reveals that the FBI probe into the killings "has hit a stumbling block." Before any of the bodyguards was interrogated, "the State Department granted them immunity." Now nothing they said under questioning can be used in a prosecution. All evidence would have to be developed independently.
