#1 "Let's see if Signore Mastrogiacomo has attained new insight from his experience"

Doubtful the MSM can find anything that can equal the atrocities done by the American guards and Abu Grahib!

#2 Anyone who goes over there to interview Taliban ~~to get a Pulitzer Prize~~ ought to understand that they are on their own. Mr. Mastrogiacomo should know he has helped to contribute to the deaths [either directly or through the money for guns and ammo or additional Taliban manpower and morale] of many others now and is a total tool. Do you think the release of five Taliban was the end of the deal?

The results of this kind of ploy should be an additional 100 Italian troops for each hostage taken, and 500 for each hostage killed. But no, they go the other way. Watch. Another Italian hostage to be taken in 5..4..3..

#3 "I saw him being decapitated, it was horrific," he told Italian TG3 television. "I was shaking. Obviously I thought 'it's my turn now."

I blame the CIA! Maybe the Italian courts can issue some additional arrest warrants.

#4 I'm still interested in seeing if they actually gave up 5 mooks for this clown. If they did, they should try to give him back.

#5 Signore Mastrogiacomo = force multiplier for the Talibs.
