Talk:Nicola Calipari

Trial in absentia
Since the trial formally began today, the amateur opinion that Italy won't try the US soldier needs to be cleaned up. Also as far as political implications the Status of Forces agreements the US has with Italy are potentially worthless as this progresses. Plus the link between this case and Dog the Bounty Hunter, both men wanted by foreign governments for trial. eRipley 02:59, 18 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Agreed. Especially since that speculation (which never should've been included to begin with; WP:CRYSTAL) was predicated on the notion that the Berlusconi government would prevent the trial. The Berlusconi government no longer exists, making the prediction hopelessly out of date. &mdash; Red XIV (talk) 09:11, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Date of birth
If somebody's wondering where the information about the date of birth comes from, I'll tell you: Google Cache: ''Nicola Calipari era al Servizio segreto militare, il Sismi, dall' estate del 2002 ma la sua e' stata una lunga carriera sotto il segno della Polizia. Nato a Reggio Calabria il 23 giugno del 1953, era sposato e padre di due figli. Laureato in Giurisprudenza, era entrato in Polizia nel settembre 1979 come commissario in prova e assegnato alla questura di Genova come addetto alla Squadra Mobile.'' --webkid 22:47, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)

joint commission of inquiry
But the two Italian members of the commission are reported to have refused to sign the final inquiry report.

The US ambassador to Italy met one of Mr Berlusconi's senior aides on Tuesday to try to finesse a way out of a situation that is threatening to add a foreign gloss to his ever-lengthening list of domestic political woes.

What is already clear is that Mr Berlusconi now faces a tough choice between disagreeing openly with the US or trying to sweep the investigation's findings under the carpet. 

US report undisclosed
In the night between the 30th of April and 1st of May 2005, a greek student living in Bologna was able to reveal the information that were censored in the published final report from US authorities. The operation was possible due to a security flaw in the pdf document which contained it, so that a simple "cut-n-paste" operation was able to reveal the hidden informations. It has then been possible to read the name of the soldiers who were that night at the roadblock, along with the name of Sgrena's bodyguard, a name that had being kept secret. Italian authority working on an indipendent report will probably acquire the undisclosed report as an "open source".

there is more to say
the case of mr Calipari is a clear example of a certain incoherent behaviour on the side of the U.S. army. going to Iraq to bring freedom and democracy and denying the italian investigating commission any information on the people involved into this tragic accident, thus avoiding that any person takes the blame on the american side for what happened, is not only undemocratic but suspicious. to many different versions and accounts of what happened differ from the official U.S. army investigation findings. the article about Nicola Calipari is broadly correct, but I'd have loved some more accuracy on the diplomatic and juridical debats that followed the case, and on the fact that untill today, no one is taking the blame for what happened.

I am waiting to se Lozano promoted, just like the american pilot, who brought down several people on italian territory by dangerous conduit aboard his aircraft, has not only been kept in service but promoted to the rank of major (while at least people in italy would have expected to see him grounded if not in jail.

again, accidents happen and friendly fire is a common event in warfare, but the article about nicola calipari is to far a whitewashing of what happened to be reliably quoted.


 * Well, sounds like you know a lot about it, so why not edit it and add your share of knowledge? I would be very interested to see a more detailed take on this. --Thomas (talk) 10:28, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
