Italy convicts 23 Americans

Wow, I find this highly unusual.

Allen, what implications do you think this will have on those out in the field? Do we duck back and go fortress america, and F-U rest of the world you are on your own? Or do agents accept that there might be a new type of risk they must be willing to deal with (i.e jail time/salad tossing)?

I can’t help but wonder if the Govt. disagrees and at least holds jobs for these guys, or if we thumb our noses at them after they’ve served their sentences.

They are not likely to serve:

I see what you mean I was looking at the sentences and missed that part. Our convictees will likely just avoid Italy and I doubt the Govt. would track them down and turn them it.

Italian justice is a joke.

Italian state did not want to press extradition, but the prosecutors went on ahead for ‘show'(make it look like they are doing something while not dealing with needed prosecutions within Italy)

The Italian ‘co-conspirators’ were not tried because “all evidence of coordination between the Italian secret services and the C.I.A. violated state secrecy rules and was therefore inadmissible in the trial”.
