| Italy, U.S. Clash Over Agent Shooting |
| 2005-04-14 |
| Reluctance by Italian investigators to accept the U.S. version of the killing of an Italian security agent by American troops in Iraq last month is holding up the conclusion of a joint inquiry into the shooting, Italian newspapers said Thursday. NBC News, however, has said a preliminary report from the U.S.-Italian commission has been completed and clears the Americans of any wrongdoing in the killing of Nicola Calipari at a temporary checkpoint on the road to Baghdad airport while he brought an Italian hostage to freedom. Rest at link. |

| #6 No elephant jokes, sir, or mam, as the case may be. But my brother stopped for lunch at McDonalds with a Hindu who was here on business. Upon the Hindu ordering ordering a Big Mac, my brother said "I thought you couldn't eat beef? Something about your ancestors being reincarnated as cattle?"

| #3 And the poor guy from Indiana is facing a rock and a hard spot if the terrorists think that the ransom season is now open. May god have mercy on his situation. Thanks to Italy for all they have done the past 4 years, but if ranson did change hands, guess who pays the bill... |

| #1 The rift will not heal. As long as Italy, or any other government for that matter, sanctions the sale of humans for any purpose, including ransom to release hostages, we will remain at odds. No sale of human beings, period. Capiche? |
