1. 4:51 Torture is *also* good for intimidating a population into compliance

To think: this week the press is commemerating the twentieth anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall and the end of the Communist dictatorships in Europe. They were evil because they tortured people.

2. k&R!!

3. Now, that they have been convicted in Italy, how does that

affect their status in the EU? Can they go to the EU?

5. Forget the EU

They can't go to a country that will honor its extradition treaties with Italy. And that would be most countries that don't have right wing dictatorships.

6. I just wondered. I remember how England fought extradiction of

Pinochet to Spain in the English courts, and won.

7. Honor is the key word

Apparently very little of it in England.

4. "Embarassment to Politicians is NOT . . .

a reason NOT to enforce the law!" Viva Italia!!
