NEW YORK - Dominique Strauss-Kahn is citing diplomatic immunity in asking a judge to dismiss a civil lawsuit filed by the New York City hotel maid who says he sexually assaulted her.
Attorneys for the former International Monetary Fund leader filed the motion in a Bronx court on Monday. They say that Strauss-Kahn's position as head of the fund gives him immunity from the civil litigation.

That's a crock. Diplomatic immunity should be done away with for just that reason. No one should be able to get away with committing a crime because they are here representing another country. They should be expelled if they commit a violent crime, especially rape.
