#1 Don't we have extradition treaties with Italy? Will we be obligated to send our agents there to be jailed? (It's not like they did something trivial like drugging and raping a minor.)

#2 As a rule of thumb, to do the Italians back one in the eye for this, the CIA should issue any agents being posted in Italy false identification, except for administrators kept outside of the operational loop.

Then the CIA should begin a program of credibility erosion of those Italians who brought about this nonsense in the first place. A few critical ones should get the opportunity to experience prison themselves.

#4 We should just send over a few mobsters we have locked up (Gambino's and Gatti's) and just tell the Italians that these are the guys they are looking for. The mobsters would never say a word since they would be out in 7-9.

#10 Time to close the military facilities in Aviano, Vicenza, Levorno, Naples, etc and deploy elsewhere. Consider it part of the budget cuts.
