#2 Interesting that the Italians arrested him. Now let's see if he gets a trial, extradited or an apology.

#4 Does anybody else see a contradiction here?:

a) Hussien, a former member of ex-Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein's Baath Party

and

b) Hussien had been living in Italy for 25 years

#6 Hmmmmm....an anti-tank weapon fired from an ultra-light aircraft.... Newton's Third Law of Motion would have had a most interesting demonstration. Suicide bombers indeed!

Lots of juicy tidbits. I wonder how many other sleepers are in Western Europe, operating "legitimate" businesses and sending cash back to Iraq every month. He was a "former member" of Hussein's Baath Party, and he's supporting A-Q in Iraq, planning missions with them. The NY Slimes tells us that just can't be so... Naples, in southern Italy, is home-port to the US Sixth Fleet. There's an airbase in Aviano, and an Army depot (or was) in Pisa. The 509th Parachute Regt. was stationed in Vicenza for awhile, and is now in Iraq. Padua isn't that far from Vicenza.

Making this guy talk, and talk plenty, should be a high priority for someone...

#9 Let's try that again.

Given Italy's past hostility to our rendition of wanted jihadi types, is this arrest going to produce useful intel or is it in fact designed to prevent that from happening?

(and perhaps secondarily to prevent an attack that would force the government to cooperate with us?)

Pardon my cycnism, but the track record of the left wing courts in that country isn't stellar.
