Maybe we should drop the terrorist off in Italy, and after he blows them up, maybe they won't want him back so intensly anymore.

What ticks them off is the U.S. operating willy-nilly within their borders without their OK.

Actually, I understand this WAS done with the knowledge and tacit agreement from the Italian intel agency and probably the government.

Some anti-war prosecutor and judge just started this to defy their own government and try to whip up some anti-US sentiment. Berlusconi is caught between the rock and the hardspot, which was the intent.

I read about this some time ago, when it started, and apparently they just don't want to let it go.

I suspect the US had their OK. However, both sides will deny that Italy ok'ed it. The Italians are in far more legal jeopardy than the Americans.

My prediction: If it gets too hot politically, the Italian government will issue an extradition request.

The Americans will ignore it.

In a year, the Italians will drop the request.

This boring story will go away.

It's a political year in Italy.
