#1 "There's no persecutory intention against a person or the United States," Amelio said.
...before requesting an indictment, possibly on murder and attempted murder charges

So they plan to indict, but not persecute. I'm just a little American housewife -- this is too subtle and complex for me. Maybe if he'd said prosecute instead of persecute... I really need to learn Italian one of these days.

#2 "There's no persecutory intention against a person or the United States," Amelio said. "We're checking on facts and responsibilities.".

Just like our own bureaucrats in the states no longer use the term 'suspect' rather now a 'person of interest'.

How about if the Commanding General, in the Iraqi theater of operations, asks the State Department to pass on a formal request to appear before a full Article 32 investigation held concurrent with Iraq prosecuters on the cooperation with known insurgents by members of the Italian secret service? Think you'd be glad to participate?

#3 Condi ought to go on National TV and say: âNot only NO, but HELL NO.â She should then extend her hand palm out. Trust me Ameilo, if we were attempting to Kill that bitch Sgrena you would have never found the bodies.

#5 Sure, just as long as we get those terror suspects from the Achille Lauro, and some other guys we find fascinating.....

Then we'll get right on it. You bet.

But if you want to start looking for him in the meantime, have at it. His name is Harry Butz. Don't forget his accomplice, Al Cohol. Go to the Bible Belt, and tell anyone that you are looking for Harry Butz and Al Cohol. Happy Hunting, paisano!

#6 frustrating what fuckwits we have as "allies". Seems to be stretching that term to Clintonian limits

#7 So far, the United States has not responded to Italian requests to trace the soldier's identity and hometown, prosecutor Erminio Amelio said.

Your waiting is over Rome. Go F*** YOURSELVES! Next time you see a US Army checkpoint, slow down and then come to a stop or you'll be Caliparied, capiche?

#8 Not sure why, but this image immediately came to mind. I guess I'm just a visual guy. Perhaps someone will translate into Italian so there are no misunderstandings.

#9 The one on the right's definitely Italian.

#10 This is at least in part part of the runup to the Italian elections in ?March?. (I should go look that up but don't have time right now.) Berlusconi is coming back strong against the left and Prodi, or was a few days ago IIUC.
