No more ransom payments

After putting our troops in more danger and while the MSM maligned these brave men and women...

Italy agrees to change its policy of paying ransom money to terrorists.  Also, it is official now...the Italians did in fact keep US officials in the dark about their operation to free a kidnapped journalist.  Michelle Malkin has the story.

Again, this is outrageous (see previous post), I hope this story doesn't get buried in the news given the Atlanta shootings and capture of murder suspect Brian Nichols.  I am not holding my breath...CNN.com certainly isn't carrying the story at this hour.
