Italy, Don't Help Bin Laden

At a time when most European nations are cracking down on terrorists, Italy 
is poised to let more potential mass murderers slip through the cracks. A 
bill the Italian Parliament passed to make it more difficult to use evidence 
from other countries against criminal defendants in Italy fails the smell 
test because it is clear that one of its beneficiaries would be the prime 
minister, Silvio Berlusconi. A closer look shows the legislation is even 
worse--another likely beneficiary would be the terrorist mastermind Osama 
bin Laden.
