THEY'RE SO MAD AT US THEY'RE APOLOGIZING:
Italy to stop paying ransoms (John Follain, 3/13/05, Times of London)
THE Italian prime minister, Silvio Berlusconi, has promised President George W Bush that he will not pay more ransoms to free hostages in Iraq.
A quick surrender even for the Italians. Posted by Orrin Judd at March 12, 2005 7:52 PM

Well look at how much their latest adventure cost them. Untold millions of dollars and a valued agent. And what did they get in return? A commie hag who embarrasses them every time she opens her mouth.
I'd change my entire policy too.

0f course he promised. But what makes you think he changed policy? Weren't the payoffs hidden and denied even before this? It's not like this is even as binding as a treaty obligation and we know how well those are kept.
