SS Travel Agency offers in detail

My friend Raqqash forgot to say that in the original idea of this blog one post every two should be in english, so that we can offer some foreign language exercise (also for me that I'm a little rusted in english writing) and a more big audience. I like to think of it also as a collection of documented notes on topics that don't deserve to be forgotten as the news go away.

I see that we are immediatly starting with heavyweights arguments! I could stay the whole night at the keyboard to write about all of this but I'll try to offer some quickjumps and be more on it in the next days:

1. "Amnesty International uses the term "rendition" to describe the transfer of individuals from one country to another, by means that bypass all judicial and administrative due process. In the "war on terror" context, the practice is mainly – although not exclusively – initiated by the USA, and carried out with the collaboration, complicity or acquiescence of other governments. The most widely known manifestation of rendition is the secret transfer of terror suspects into the custody of other states – including Egypt, Jordan and Syria – where physical and psychological brutality feature prominently in interrogations. The rendition network’s aim is to use whatever means necessary to gather intelligence, and to keep detainees away from any judicial oversight."

   These are the first words of an April 2006 Amnesty International document: "Below the radar: Secret flights to torture and ‘disappearance’". The document, with detailed informations also on tranfers from Europe and Italy (at least 2 from Pisa airport) can be found at http://web.amnesty.org/library/Index/ENGAMR510512006;
   
   
2. Adamo Bove was the head of security governance in Telecom Italia, and on July, 21st 2006
   

   "just after 12 noon, Adamo Bove fell to his death on a motorway in Naples. He had just left his wife to do some errands in town while he headed home. On an overpass he stopped his car, put on the emergency lights, and apparently jumped to his death, presumably making sure there were no oncoming vehicles on the highway some thirty meters below him."

   as is written in http://www.eurotrib.com/?op=displaystory;sid=2006/7/24/41816/5846. He played a crucial role in many criminal cases (also in some depicted from Amnesty international);
   

3. "Michele Sindona (known in banking circles as "The Shark"; born May 8, 1920, Patti, Sicily; died March 22, 1986, Voghera, Italy) was an Italian banker and convicted felon. Sindona was a member of Propaganda Due, an Italian lodge of Masons, and had clear connections to the Mafia. He was poisoned in prison while serving a life sentence for the murder of lawyer Giorgio Ambrosoli."

   This is what the english Wikipedia says at the top of the Michele Sindona entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michele_Sindona, this time seems that Wikipedia is not well moderated, but can be a starting point for another dark page of italian recent history;
   

4. "Roberto Calvi (Milan, April 13, 1920 - London, June 17, 1982) was an Italian banker dubbed by the press as "God's Banker", due to his close association with the Vatican. Calvi was the chairman of the Banco Ambrosiano which collapsed in one of Italy's biggest modern political scandals, and his death in London in June 1982 has been the source of enduring controversy. At the time of writing, five people are on trial for his alleged murder. Claims have been made that Calvi's death involved the Vatican Bank (Banco Ambrosiano's main shareholder), the Mafia (which may have used Banco Ambrosiano for money laundering), and the Propaganda Due or P2 masonic lodge (which was claimed to have links to Gladio, a far right terrorist organization involved in the so-called strategia della tensione during the 1970s and 1980s.)"

   and finally this is from the Roberto Calvi page, always on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roberto_Calvi, the last "offer" that the italian "SS Travel Agency" is offering to you, courtesy of Raqqash.
   

Still not complete: too much to put into!
