#3 I see no reason why we do not copy their legal precedent.
Try the judges making trouble, convict them in absentia, and kidnap them one dark and moonless night, wisk them off to jail in one of those supposed "Secret" Prisons, and the problem simply evaporates.

#4 Don't forget the Italian agents involved in providing funds for the Stalinist journalist. I suspect the same 'legal' process could be done by Iraq in aiding and abetting the insurgents. Wonder if Italy would like the receive some extradition requests?
