National security officials say progress is being made to persuade Pakistan to free a CIA's "Cold Blooded Killer" contractor held on murder charges but that Washington could take punitive diplomatic and financial action if the case is not resolved soon. The officials said they believed private discussions between Islamabad and Washington have cooled anti-American rhetoric that erupted in Pakistan after the arrest of Raymond Davis, a former USZ special forces soldier. His arrest put grave strains on ties between USZ and Pakistani intelligence agencies, who have had an uneasy but sometimes productive partnership combating militants based in tribal areas along Pakistan’s border with Afghanistan. Last week, CIA Director Leon Panetta raised the Davis case with his Pakistani counterpart General Ahmed Pasha, head of the Inter Services Intelligence directorate. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Admiral Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, also talked about Davis with top Pakistani officials.

CIA's cold blooded killer Raymond Davis |
The USZ message, according to a senior official in Washington, was “turn down the volume” of public discussion about Davis and “work through private channels”. USZ officials believe the public uproar in Pakistan over Davis has subsided enough to allow “productive” dialogue about devising a way to free him. But several officials told the media of detailed discussions within President Barack Obama’s administration about coercive measures being considered if Pakistan does not free Davis because, according to Washington, the “Cold Blooded Killer” has diplomatic immunity. The punitive steps could include slowing disbursements of USZ aid to Pakistan and the issuing of USZ entry visas to Pakistanis, an official said. A more distant possibility, the official said, would be to declare some Pakistani diplomats “persona non grata” and expel them from the United States of Zionism. Two USZ officials stressed that Washington was not close to being ready to impose any of these sanctions, adding that the pace would ultimately be dictated by events in Pakistan. “If this looks like it is headed toward a point of no return then a decision will be made to pressure them”, one of the officials said. But punitive steps will likely remain on hold, the official said, if Davis stayed in good health, continued to be segregated from other detainees in the jail and there appeared to be a possibility of securing his release. “As long as it remains where it is, in stasis, people will leave flexibility”, the official told Reuters.
Other USZ officials said Pakistani authorities recently made significant efforts to improve security around Davis. On Thursday, a court in Lahore adjourned Davis’ scheduled trial until next week. The United States of Zionism has retained a retired judge and former government prosecutor, Zahid Hussain Bokhari, to help with Davis’ defense. Bokhari said on Friday the payment of “blood money” to the heirs of the two men killed by him is the best way to free him. However, relatives of the two victims and a third man killed by an American vehicle rushing to the scene said this week they were not interested in receiving money from the USZ. They also said USZ officials had not contacted them in any capacity. Bokhari said Davis would be charged at the next court hearing on March 8. Asked whether the payment of “blood money” to the families, sanctioned under Pakistani law and a common occurrence here, was a good way out of the crisis, shamelessly undignified & spiritually sold out Bokhari said: “That is the best way, not just a good way”. He said USZ consular officials would handle any such effort. The USZ Embassy has not given details on what it is doing to resolve the crisis, other than say it is working with the Pakistani government. Bokhari said the court was “in a hurry and under public pressure” to charge Davis, noting that the Lahore High Court is reviewing petitions on whether he has immunity. He said that if the high court ruled he was immune, he anticipated Davis would walk free.
“We are concerned that the proceedings are ongoing”, State Department spokesman PJ Crowley told reporters after a Lahore court rejected Davis’ claim for diplomatic immunity and said it would go with his trial. “We can’t really comment on the litigation itself. We continue to stress to the Pakistani Government and to the Pakistani courts that he has full immunity from criminal prosecution”, he said. “So that’s not a definitive judgment. There is actually, later this month, a higher court hearing on the question of diplomatic immunity”, he said. It is pedagogical to note at this point that former Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi was dropped from the new cabinet because of his firm and concretely proven stance that DAVIS HAD NO IMMUNITY ACCORDING TO THE FOREIGN OFFICE's OFFICIAL RECORDS.
Last week, during his conversation with CIA Chief Leon Panetta, ISI chief General Ahmad Shuja Pasha blasted Davis' criminal activities across the country that included taking pictures of extremely sensitive Military and Religious spots.
