Italian Court Convicts 23 Americans of Kidnapping
Did any of you know about this one? I don't think it's getting much attention in the press. Any thoughts?

Guess the Eyeties don't love us anymore.

Or this is another example of "politics by other means".

Berlusconi is definitely not happy about this.

It was on Newshour, all the 23 guys need to do is stay out of Europe. They certainly won't get extradited.

European hypocrisy - let them try to hold any of them.

Yeah, you'd better get on your horse, go over there and bust 'em out, cowboy.

Read the article first though. They were tried in absentia. (not Italy ) I guess all you needed to know is them Ities is a-comin' after us Merkins, huh?

When you read the article you might want to rethink that "hypocrisy" bit too. This was a truly heinous act, perpetrated upon a person who appears to be completely innocent.

Then they should quite simply be tried by an American court. Italy can posture all it wants.
