Confusion in Diplomacy

Treason, espionage, whistle-blowing or personnel sqabbles at the embassy of Liberia in Washington? An allAfrica.com article of December 20, 2007, Liberia Embassy in Washington DC Astir, allows all of these conclusions from the report of a recent escalation of events at that embassy. Homeland Security, diplomatic immunities, embassy access, disclosures to enemies of the state, retaliation and other factors render a confusing picture. Some may have interesting legal implications. -- Clemens Kochinke, Berliner, Corcoran & Rowe, LLP, Washington.
