Italy steps up row with US over slain secret agent

Thanks much, piasa! Those links/references help put together the history of the M.O. they seem to be using, as well as the connections between the Antiimperialista and the Iraqi insurgents. As I'm thinking about this I'm wondering if it puts together some puzzle pieces with respect to other psyops the antiwar movement has pulled in Iraq--you'd have to figure some of the same people were involved with, e.g., Michael Moore's stunts, etc.

Yeah, I remember that. Although their absolute numbers may not be large, it's intolerable that we are allowing hard-left seditionists to run all over the world funding, aiding and abetting insurgent/terrorist movements.

It's past time to send a message. IMHO we badly need to send some "white boys" (i.e. non-Muslim, non-Islamists) to the Big House, or even better to Gitmo. There's a danger that the left will successfully spin this as a new "McCarthyism" (of course, despite the posturing, they're deep racists and will have a whole different range of reaction when white-skinned radicals are targeted) so the signature cases will have to be airtight and will have to be handled adroitly.

What's really enraging is that, apart from the conservative press, the MSM has globally ignored this phenomena. For example it's been several years now that we've watched associates of FARC, Hamas, Abu Sayaf, etc, speaking at "anti-war" rallies, and not a peep about it from the mainstream media. Literal warmongers leading "peace" rallies, and ABC-CBS-NBC-NYT-WP-LAT couldn't care less. If remotely similar acts of deception and hypocrisy were carried out in the name of any non-left movement it would be trumpeted in banner headlines.

Who could this information be sent to where it might result in jail time and/or debilitating lawsuits for the perps?

Ah, I forgot Lynne Stewart. That's a start.

Someone suggested to me that maybe John Phillips, the author of a number of the Washington Times articles piasa cited in Post #140, might be someone in a good position to follow up on some aspects of this.

Don't push your luck, Tony. Look what's happening to French wine.

Since you noticed the fishy Japanese hostage thing right off, here's another ping.

"It was an accident...the culprits [should] be punished."

I love listening to a politician unafraid to speak his mind. What a little weasel.

"He said that the car...was not speeding and was not ordered to stop by US troops"

Incredible, the idiot with his foot in his mouth wants the world to believe that on the single most dangerous and bloody highway in all of Iraq, that Sgrena's car "couldn't have been doing more than [25 miles] per hour"!

LOL, and he wants the world to beleive that the concrete barriers in the middle of the road weren't part of any U.S. Army check point, where they'd have to stop and identify themselves, heck no, they were there simply to break the monotony of the long drive!

I love people stupid enough to advance a theory that has a logic hole in it big enough to drive a truck through. It takes a politician and/or a lawyer to do that with a straight face.
