#1 He told parliament that the US had implicitly acknowledged some problems at the checkpoint where US forces shot dead Nicola Calipari in March.

In basketball it's called the 'makeup call'.

#2 Europen disease- Spinal Deficiency Syndrome.

Berlusconi, has a milder version, that's the difference.

#3 I heard some emotionally-based support for Berlusconi the other day - and I'd like to respond to it here. If he can't be trusted to stand up for the truth in the face of political opposition, then he is no ally worthy of our support. Additionally, he is not worthy of a full share of the intel take. He's just another Yippie, i.e. Italy under Berlusconi is now about as reliable as Turkey under Yippie.

Arguments against must be rooted in facts. I think, at this point in time, they are sorely lacking.

Sorry, but fact trumps feeling.

#4 I agree, .com. Does anyone doubt the latest rash of murders in Iraq is at the least partly funded by Berlusconi's ransom money? Methinks as far as being a staunch ally of the US is concerned, Berlusconi is the Great Pretender.

#5 Deacon you've hit the nail on the head. There can be littel doubt that there is a link. I doubt that his is the only money they've received, but it must have been a significant contribution. He has a lot of blood on his hands.
