#2 "(evil .DOC format, sorry)"

Lol. Fucking slashdot dingbats.

On-topic...
Slowly the BS comes unraveled. I had no doubt, now or before, and I'd wager almost none here did either, that the Sgrena version of events was a total fabrication. It was flawed on so many levels it boggled. That Berlusconi even entertained it for 10 seconds, much less pandered to the Commie trash in Italy by putting up an outraged front, makes him a total write-off. A gutless turd worthy of zero further notice.

#3 The Malkin article (and the links to Austin Bay and Blackfive) demonstrate clearly that the Italian media is as depraved and craven as our own. The info also clearly show what an asstard Kevin Drum is, in no uncertain terms. Might be good therapy to let him know here what you think of his collaboration with the terrorists and the Italian commies. He worked so hard on the story, he deserves to hear from us, one and all.

#4 Anyway the coalition can get a refund on Sgrena? Return her for the $500K?

#5 Liberals seem to think if activity such as leaking this document costs one American life, then it is worth it.

#6 Calm down ya'll Berlusconi is dangling on a tight rope. I suspect he knows all too well that the tragedy was caused by the driver and turned on the US by the commie writer. But it's a 'damned if you do, damned if you don't' scenario.

If he sides with the truthful US version, he will lose part of his nationalistic political base. The alternatives to Berlusconi are not too promising, time to cut some slack here.

The unfortunate aspect is that the commie writer's version is allowed to get any credibility. But the most unfortunate reality is that precious few Italians bravely wave the red-white-and-blue.

#7 When someone opens the gates to the barbarians, I don't want to be told to calm down. I want to be told our government will deal with this bit of perfidy the way it should be.

F*ck calming down and f*ck the people who placed this document on the internet.

#8 The report is worth a read. Most of the idiots getting whipped up over this accident couldn't wait to digest even a few of the facts before unloading on the soldiers. A point of interest in the report is fact that the italians involved did not give sworn statements to investigators about the events whereas the soldiers did. That is a very important thing to consider.

#9 badanov,

I'm not an expert on intel or dezinformatsiya but I seriously doubt that our military is not covering its tracks in this matter, or that they would release anything sensitive. Any report made available online must be full of redirects, misdirects etc.
