He Said, She Said

Italy disagrees with official US findings about the March incident that led to the death of Italian Giuliana Sgrena (a journalist who had just been released from hostage). On Sunday, Italian media upped the ante in the disagreement when they published the censored (blacked-out) portions of the US document.

According to the BBC, a Greek medical student at Bologna University discovered just how easy it is to read the entire document: just copy and paste the "blacked-out" parts into your favorite editor or e-mail program.

The missing text contains the names and ranks of all of the American military personnel involved in the killing of Nicola Calipari, the Italian agent who was given a state funeral and awarded Italy's highest medal of valour.

The Italian findings into the incident are expected this week.
