#1 So how did the Italians know THE NAMES of these guys?

#2 Credit card receipts, cell phone numbers, etc. Apparently it was a pretty sloppily run op. It's not like the prosecutors got any cooperation from the Italian or US governments.

#3 Would be a pity if the judge and prosecutor woke up dead one morning. Just saying.

#4 We could even take our military out of Italy and start using our former bases to store nuclear waste. I mean, why not, it's apparent that Italy has decided to bite it's allies.

We should bite back.

#5 I'm more worried that our DOJ might actually co-operate with the extradition, given that BHO needs to keep the anti-American wing of the Democratic party on his side.

#7 Ummm, I'm thinking a horses head is good, but put the Prosecuting Attorney's head in the Judges Bed would be ten times more effective.

#9 On the bright side, the next time the Balkans blow up, we'll know to stay home and let the Italians handle it. Save us a fortune.

Would you believe credit card receipts? Great field craft guys.

Frozen Al has a good point - I believe the US and Italy do have extradition agreements for serious crimes - like kidnapping, which out guys were convicted of - and we are actually BOUND to extradite our agents.

#13 really? Like Liam whose American father is trying to pry him out of an Italian orphanage? Liam was kidnapped from Dad's legal custody after a divorce by his crazy Italian Mom, and taken to Italy. She has since been judged nuts, and Liam was removed to an Italian orphanage. The Italian gov't refuses to send the boy home.

They wanna talk? We discuss this first, and publicly

#14 Frank G, the problem with your analogy is that there is no criminal CONVICTION (whether we think it was an actual crime or not is not the issue) in play - and not only that, there won't be, since the mother is insane. Clearly Italy is wrong, but it's a different kind of situation.
