#1 Cremona cathedral is an interesting choice of target. Why not the one in Florence, or in Milan? Maybe they are capable of reasoning that damaging these would provoke too much outrage, particularly among left-thinking people.
I've said before on here that the Mole Antonelliana in Turin, a former synagog, is a very likely target, and the Olympics are coming to town very soon.

#5 I thought borgboy's kind of supergrass is actually being grown under lights in secret rooms in American basements? I've read that current varieties of marijuana have significantly (orders of magnitude) higher levels of THC than did that smoked by Baby Boom hippies back in the day.

#6 The Mole Antonelliana was never actually used as a synagogue. Antonelli was told by the rabbi "we want a building where we can go and pray to God; we don't actually need to go and visit Him."

#7 The Mole Antonelliana is now a film museum. No real symbolism in blowing up that.
