Sure, despite there being a formal agreement that people at that specific base _not_ receive diplomatic immunity. I'm my opinion though, this just reinforces the idea that it didn't matter what the rules were - people in power were sufficiently motivated to justify what they wanted to do, they just needed a way to make it relatively palatable to the general public.

>Sure, despite there being a formal agreement that people at that specific base _not_ receive diplomatic immunity. At least one UK court disagreed with your interpretation. AND the US and UK re-wrote the agreement after the incident, which strongly suggests the agreement did originally allow families to receive immunity.
