Cardiff: I just saw this. What a joke. Its a show trial, pure and simple, and for no other reason than to gin up some publicity.
Forget about how endemically corrupt Italy is, or that the Mafia/organized crime effectively run that country. Forget Berlusconi’s shenanigans. Forget the fact that Italy’s intelligence and security apparatus is essentially a wholly owned subsidiary of the CIA.
If the Italians were to make any sort of move on any of those Americans, Uncle Sugar would bust a size 12 GI boot off in their asses and take all their toys away.
Substitute the word “French” for “Italian” and you get the general idea of how scared we should be.
