Still no joy for arrested American national Raymond Davis in Pakistan. Salute Pakistan for having the wherewithal (wanted to use a stronger word) to stand up to the US, especially since their relationship is so symbiotic.

The US today asked Pakistan to once again release Davis in accordance with the Vienna Convention which provides him the diplomatic immunity.

Pakistan and the US are both signatories to the Vienna convention, along with 185 other countries.
