The title says it all: Omar Abu-Preemptive letters. Or: "Abu-Omar letters preventive." Starring: Massimo D'Alema. New Wikileaks documents on Italy are enriched by new, disturbing background investigations for the kidnapping Egyptian imam Abu Omar, kidnapped in 2003 in Milan by the CIA and the Earthquakes.
And the issue is delicate: how to put the spanner in the investigation that the prosecutor Armando Spataro was leading on that episode. It is 6 April 2007 when the U.S. embassy in Rome for part of a cable to the State Department, then governed by the Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
It is classified as "S / FN" (Secret / No Foreigners), the maximum degree of privacy, and non-American eyes can not take cognizance of: strictly prohibited. The report refers to the visit, 18 days earlier, Massimo D'Alema, foreign minister in the government led by Romano Prodi, right from Rice in Washington.
A dinner face to face, on March 19, between the two chief representatives of their diplomacy. A climate a little 'chilly, underscored by the words of Rice's spokesman, the "turbulence" between the two countries, because of two stories: that of Nicola Calipari, an official of SISMI killed in a firefight with U.S.
troops in Iraq and, indeed, Abu Omar. D'Alema Brinder however, the friendship between the two countries. But the atmosphere in store for a surprise. Chiosa fact, in the spring of four years ago, the author of the note has the responsibility of the U.S. ambassador to Italy Ronald P. Spogli, "D'Alema closed the meeting, which lasted an hour, noting that he had asked the Secretary if the Department could write something saying that the U.S.
would not have acted on the request for extradition have been presented in the case of Abu Omar. This, he explained, could have been used previously by the GOI (Government of Italy, the Italian Government, ed) to circumvent the action of the Italian magistrates who wanted the extradition of the Americans involved (in the kidnapping, ndr) ".
Translation. Spataro is arrabattava because the CIA agents were extradited from the United States and that is jumping out of the request "preventive" D'Alema: a letter from Washington, to him, in which virtually assured the U.S. their "inertia" on a possible extradition proceedings. What happened after we know from the chronicles.
The Minister Prodi of Justice, Clemente Mastella, you will look good after forwarding, overseas, the instance of pm in Milan, returned to the office just three months before the American tour of D'Alema, in January 2007. Absolute silence. Which is equivalent to "inertia". Moreover, that the matter was pressing, also discussed, as stated in the dispatches of Wikileaks, "the Italian ambassador in Washington," Spataro had long understood.
Another confirmation is still on the cards by Julian Assange. Despatch of the end of June 2006, then a year before the "mission" D'Alema on American soil, when, after the elections in the spring, the Prodi government has just succeeded that of Silvio Berlusconi. Commentary: "The Minister Mastella has so far put a stop to repeated requests to extradite the alleged CIA agents allegedly involved in an operation of rendition (kidnapping, ed) Imam Abu Omar.
Prodi declined to give details on the fact that the Italians were potentially aware, he believed it was essential to protect information deemed confidential for national security. " In short, Abu Omar, Prodi is on the same wavelength as its predecessor Berlusconi cover. The Cable finally goes with an emphasis on the consequences of all this: the freezing ("chilling effect") "on traditional, fruitful working relationships with both external intelligence services, earthquakes, and internal Sisde.
Which had already occurred "with the Berlusconi administration, when the action broke out."
