#3 Of course they had. The problem is that they behaved so unprofessionally that Italian law enforcement (not in the loop) found out and now it's CYA for those in the loop.

#4 Well it's the CIA, so I can't say I am suprised at the trail they left. It's almost as if it was done on purpose, which is quite lkikely. What the purpose would be, who knows?

The CIA slightly is better than the FBI. The FBI is like an old security guard that thinks all it must do is observe, never report until after the crime, if ever.

I am all for respecting Italy and every other nation sovereignty. This is one huge SNAFU.

#7 OS, if you're out there, what's your thoughts on this one? Is there some subtle angle those of us not of that background are missing?
