People are up in arms about the bailouts. Give-aways really. But they forget the biggest give-away of all time: $2.3 trillion missing, gone, no explanation.
ROME — An Italian prosecutor has asked for a stiffer sentence for a CIA station chief convicted in the 2003 kidnapping of an Egyptian cleric in Milan.
Twenty-three Americans, including Robert Seldon Lady, then a CIA station chief in Milan, and two Italians were convicted in November for the kidnapping. It was the first conviction anywhere in the world involving the CIA's extraordinary renditions program. All Americans were tried… Continue

The new Ottomans and the new Byzantines are poised for an intercept as the US stumbles in the current Great Game.
