#1 Show trial. They will find him guilty and make a political stink of which nothing will come but the leftist Italians feeling better about themselves.

#4 Since they already admitted that they (the Italians) didn't stop after being warned on what premise do they continue the trial? On a side note just wait folks this type of "Justice" will be in our courts soon enough.

#5 Close Aviano, Vicenza, and Naples bases. If needed, move the Sixth fleet activities to Israel. We should not get involved the next time the Balkans blow up and sends a flood of Albanians to Italy.

#6 Lozano, who was indicted in February, broke two years of public silence this month when he told the New York Post that the Italians' vehicle was moving at speed towards his patrol.

"If you hesitate, you come home in a box. ... I did what any soldier would do in my position," Lozano told the newspaper. "You have a warning line, you have a danger line, and you have a kill line. Anyone inside 100 metres (109 yards) is already in the danger zone ... and you've got to take them out."

#7 We know where this prison is. Drop a very large conventional weapon dead-center, and tell the Italians that they have 72 hours to surrender. Tell NATO the US is leaving in 72 hours. Treat the Italians with the same disdain we treat the French and the Belgians. As Ed said, close all US military facilities in Italy, and move our people either back to the States, or to another, more friendly location. Stop all US tourism to Italy, all imports FROM Italy, and all commerce WITH Italy, and watch the country's economy take a nose-dive. Tell them to either scrap their archaic laws and join the 21st Century, or rot. Might not be a bad idea to do the same thing to Belgium, Germany, and a few other European sources of idiocy, such as Spain, Greece, and Turkey. Let them stew in their own sewers for awhile, and hope they learn something.

#12 the Italian government paid "extortion" money (Ransom) to islamic terrorist organization to "free" a marxist "journalist" [propagandist] who herself engaged in the hoax. They were trying to escape the country before the the whole Nappy Headed Hoax was exposed for what it truely was. The lot of them should have been shot on site, or preferrably captured and hung as the international crimanals they aree in fact.

This is what we can expect from the [inter]Nationalist socialists with their show trials to distract from the important news from Iraq

#13 I wouldn't withdraw our military from there.

We may need to storm a courthouse someday and it would be more convenient if the troops were already there.
