Allies Drawn In to Libya Conflict as Rebels Fail to Capitalize on NATO Aid
"We will maintain the pressure on regime front-line troops to show NATO is resolute in its determination to protect civilians..."
Laughable. Then after that comes this: "The alliance urged civilians to move away from the loyalist forces it’s targeting in an effort to reduce civilian casualties. NATO carried out three air strikes overnight on Tripoli."
As if night bombing raids over heavily populated Tripoli is helping civilians.
War = Peace
Bombing = Saving Lives
Creating Unrest = Ending Unrest
And then of course remember how we are trying to cut down on the deficit. HA HA HA. Just throw another 25 million at another useless war. And remember that is only the beginning. This war will draw more and more forces in a la Vietnam. And Libya is only a staging area, a small skirmish being acted out as part of a larger world war geopolitical scheme that will ultimately bankrupt completely the U.S. and UK and possibly other allies if they continue on this path. The U.S. Dollar will die. The present leadership in the West will lead their countries to ruin. It's all set up and exactly as unavoidable as hitting the ground after jumping off a cliff. Splat goes the Western World. Prepare for impact.

April 21 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. and its allies are being drawn more deeply into an intervention they had expected would quickly topple Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi, as the deaths of two reporters underscored the conflict’s violence.
The U.S. announced yesterday it will provide $25 million in aid to Libya’s disorganized and poorly equipped rebels, while Italy, France and the U.K. dispatched military advisers. The rebels, who have also received light weapons from Qatar, have failed to capitalize on a NATO-led air campaign that French President Nicolas Sarkozy pledged yesterday to intensify.
“In the next few days, we will maintain the pressure on regime front-line troops to show NATO is resolute in its determination to protect civilians,” the North Atlantic Treaty Organization said in a statement.

Italian opposition asks: Who led Rome riots?
From The Guardian.
Italy's interior minister today agreed to address parliament on the rioting that broke out in Rome yesterday as Silvio Berlusconi won a controversial vote of confidence to keep his rightwing government alive .
Roberto Maroni of the Northern League gave the undertaking after opposition claims that some of the rioters were police. Anna Finocchiaro, leader in the Senate of Italy's biggest opposition group, the Democratic party, said: "There were evidently people who had been infiltrated [among the rioters] and who put at risk the demonstrators and the police. Who commanded them? Who paid them? What were they meant to cause?"
Photographs taken during the disturbances have prompted not only suspicions but bitter memories of the 1970s when rogue members of the police and intelligence services lent themselves to a so-called "strategy of tension" aimed at raising the level of violence to the point at which it could be used to justify draconian repression or even a coup d'état...
One of the participants in this week's rioting was photographed hurling a dustbin at members of the revenue guard and wielding a long shovel. But in other shots, he appears to be standing with the guards raising a truncheon in one hand and holding a pair of handcuffs in the other.
One blog carried a photograph of a demonstrator being held on the ground by officers whose uniform boots are seemingly identical to his. Further controversy surrounded a revenue guard who was ambushed by rioters.
An official statement said he was rescued "thanks to the intervention of colleagues, some in uniform and others in civilian clothes". But, according to Italian media reports, the revenue guard subsequently briefed reporters to the effect that it never deployed officers in civilian clothing in demonstrations or disturbances...

Italy To Abandon Airport Body Scanner Project
From AFP
After a six-month test, Italy’s government will drop the use of full-body scanners for security checks in airports, judging them slow and ineffective, Italian daily Corriere della Sera reported Thursday.
The scanners in the airports of Rome, Venice and the southern city of Palermo are no longer in use, and Milan’s airport is likely to stop using the machines in the near future.
“We didn’t get good results from body scanners during testing, it takes a long time to examine a person, more than with a manual inspection,” said Vito Riggio, the president of Italy’s aviation authority.
Officials also believe measures taken to address privacy concerns over the use of the scanners have dampened the machines’ effectiveness at locating arms and explosives, Corriere della Sera reported.
