Is he considered a diplomat? He worked for the UN. Funny he was even charged.

I don't know that he's "high up the ladder" enough or fat enough to suffice for those looking to offer up a sacrificial lamb, but sometime or another look for such an offering to be made.

In the article.
Yakovlev was stripped of his diplomatic immunity earlier Monday by U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan (search) and taken into custody by federal authorities.
I think he is being used as a scape-goat for something even bigger.

I love how Kurt Waldenheim was a UN Sec-General and disallowed from ever entering the USA because he was a Nazi.
Oh silly UN!
