Listening to the radio and heard new reports on the Italian incident.
It seems that the whole event was caught by satellite and the car that
was carrying the reporter was traveling in excess of 60 mph. There are
also reports that a ransom of about 2 million dollars was paid to the
terrorists to secure the reporter's release. It seems the soldiers
were telling the truth. How come I'm not surprised?

To the conspiracy-minded folk, it looks like a win/win for the Commies.
Or, maybe even a tidy triple-play:

(1) Communist reporter lives -- and becomes a hero.

(2) Intel guy is dead -- and was probably an anti-Communist
(Or at least neutral).

(3) Tangoes get 2 million dollars.

Wait, there's a number (4) in the wings, at least a half-assed one:
Berlusconi got skinned, in terms of his credibility.
