Well, good for Italy.While US investigators have concluded that American soldiers who shot and killed an Italian intelligence officer at a Baghdad checkpoint followed instructions for dealing with potential threats, Italian government said the inquiry will continue.[...]
The US official, who spoke Monday, left open whether soldiers at the temporary checkpoint during the shooting could face criticism for their performance. However, a conclusion that they followed orders would make it less likely they would be accused of making significant mistakes.

Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld and General Richard Myers, chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, acknowledged yesterday that Italian officials who participated in the investigation have still not signed off on the report's conclusions.
This government is shameless. Investigation. Nope. We didn't do anything wrong. It's a foregone conclusion. We didn't do anything wrong anywhere, ever. And if we did, it was just a couple of low-ranking scapegoats. Or a woman. Acting alone.
Banana Republic of America.
