Giuliana Sgrena is in the news again. It seems that she and her lawyers have convinced an Italian judge that the unfortunate shooting which killed her escort, Italian Nicola Calipari, was not only "murder" but "politically motivated". The American servicemen charged will now be tried in abstentia because the "murder" of Calipari and the "attempted murder" of Sgrena was part of some larger political plot.

It's not so much that we care that Giuliana Sgrena thinks herself so important that she believed the CIA was out to shut her up.

I mean, Sgrena works for Il Manifesto, the Communist Party operated Italian newspaper. She admitted she was in Iraq to document "America's war crimes". Her allegations in print went so far as to accuse the U.S. of using "nuclear weapons" in Iraq. She was abducted while on her way to interview Sunni refugees from Fallujah who "swore" that the U.S. was "targetting civilians with napalm". So, we expect her to believe all sorts of nutty things.

But what really has me bothered is that an Italian judge could buy into such ludicrious accusations as to even merit a trial. What next, and indictment against the Karl Rove for his role in the Illuminati plot to create a one-world government?

PS--Remember, this is the same Giuliana Sgrena who urged her terrorist captors to do a second take on her hostage video.....so she would be seen crying.

WaPo:

A judge Wednesday ordered a U.S. soldier to stand trial in absentia for the fatal shooting of an Italian intelligence agent at a checkpoint in Baghdad, the prosecutor said.

Spc. Mario Lozano is indicted for murder and attempted murder in the death of Nicola Calipari, who was shot on March 4, 2005, on his way to the Baghdad airport shortly after securing the release of an Italian journalist who had been kidnapped in the Iraqi capital, prosecutor Pietro Saviotti said.

Another agent, who was driving the car, and the journalist, Giuliana Sgrena, were wounded.

"This looks to me like the first step on a long road toward truth and justice, and I hope justice will come in the end," said a visibly emotional Rosa Calipari, the agent's widow...

According to prosecutors, the judge said in his ruling that Lozano can be tried for "political murder," because Calipari was a civil servant and his slaying damaged Italy's interests.

Italian law does not allow foreigners charged with killing Italians abroad to be tried in absentia unless the murder has political connotations, prosecutors have said in the past.
