I wouldn't assume they were all going to be on the planes, or not necessarily on the 10 planes mentioned by the Brits. Some may be in support roles and not in the intended "martydom" roles, or else there may be more than 10 planes if the Italian side had its own parallel plotting........
Okay...I have to admit I just read the headline..because I am concentrating on the Israel/Lebanon thing.
At the same time, watching a Fox ticker going by that says "Democrats allege that President Bush still hasn't made America safer after 9/11".....LOL
