#1 It doesn't require a high IQ to understand what and why the coalition policy must be regards civvies carrying weapons. Consider the circumstances and it's clear that, unless they had coordinated with the authorities and acquired permits, if they were disarmed it was because they had flouted the law -- and in a combat zone, no less. Calling the local CPA guys was the answer, not trusting their lives to some local cab drivers. The Italians know the rules and the reasons. American contractors face the same problems. Simeoni: get with the program and coordinate with the CPA - and quit pretending your circumstances are special. They're not.
