 The Italians (or at least some of their courts) have formally filed criminal charges naming specific agents for allegations of kidnapping and other crimes in the abductions and removal of people by C.I.A. operatives while in Italy--this action, still pending in Italian courts, AFAIK, was begun while Berlusconi was still in office--shows some admirable spunk and independence on the part of these judges.

Brava Italia!!!!

Admirable, but the initiative seems to come from the judicial agencies of the state not the executive ones which are arguably better placed to do something to stop future kidnappings and renditions affecting Italy.
