For many years Italy has invested in a country ruled by a dictatorship, forgetting democracy, ethics, human rights, only to draw benefits. That's why until yesterday the Italian Prime Minister, Berlusconi, was silent in front of the massacre of the Lybian people.

After a law was lifted, which previously protected Berlusconi from investigation, it is now reported he is facing an investigation into under age prostitution.
The connection is involving a now 18 year old dancer 'Ruby' who told the press earlier about being paid 7,000 euros to attend a party hosted by Berlusconi. The allegations of a abuse of power relates to if Berlusconi called police to have Ruby released from a police cell.
"Ruby, whose real name is Karima El Mahroug, has denied having sex with him.
She was being questioned over theft allegations when Mr Berlusconi called the police on her behalf.
He apparently told them that she was a relative of Egypt's President Hosni Mubarak."-BBC

The U.S. and Washington hold grave fears about the security of Pakistan’s nuclear weapons and Arab leaders are privately urging an attack on Iran, according to reports based on classified U.S. embassy cables leaked to major media news organizations by the whistle-blowing website WikiLeaks.
The first tranche of more than 250,000 classified cables also says American officials were also told to spy on the United Nations’ leadership and get biometric information on its secretary general Ban Ki-moon.
These revelations alone would be likely to reverberate around the world. But the secret dispatches, which were obtained by WikiLeaks also reveal Washington’s evaluation of many other highly sensitive international issues.
These include a shift in relations between China and North Korea, high-level concerns over Pakistan’s growing instability, and details of clandestine U.S. efforts to combat al-Qaida in Yemen.
The UK’s The Guardian also reports U.S. diplomats had been ordered by U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to spy on allies, including the UN. Top secret cables revealed that Mrs Clinton even ordered diplomats to obtain DNA data – including iris scans and fingerprints – as well as credit card and frequent flier numbers.
All permanent members of the security council – including Russia, China, France and the UK – were targeted by the secret spying mission, as well as the Secretary General of the UN, Ban Ki-Moon.
Work schedules, email addresses, fax numbers, website identifiers and mobile numbers were also demanded by Washington. The US also wanted ‘biographic and biometric information on UN Security Council permanent representatives.’
The request could break international law and threatens to derail any trust between the U.S. and other powerful nations.

Scandal-hit Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi today got himself in to deeper trouble when he told a press conference that it’s “It’s better to be passionate about beautiful girls than be gay” when quizzed about his involvement with a 17-year-old exotic dancer.
The perma-tanned Premier dismissed calls for him to resign over his involvement with an underage Moroccan runaway and defended his lifestyle and fondness for young women, in Milan today.
His comments sparked outrage from gay rights groups and fuelled new calls for him to step down.
Opposition politicians believe that Berlusconi abused his office by calling the Milan police in May when the then-17-year-old runaway nicknamed Ruby was detained for alleged theft, to ensure that they released her by falsely claiming that the girl was related to Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak.
Even centre-right commentators in Berlusconi's family-owned newspapers have criticized him for intervening in a possible criminal case. Berlusconi's now-estranged ally, Gianfranco Fini, said his antics had embarrassed the country.
Berlusconi's comments were also criticised by Mara Carfagna, the Equal Opportunities Minister within his own cabinet who said: “What he said was a joke at the end of a serious speech. He didn't mean to offend homosexuals or women. This government has shown its commitment against discrimination and because of this perhaps its better that we don't make such jokes.”
Berlusconi's relationship with Letizia, an 18-year-old would-be model from Naples, sparked a scandal last year that prompted Berlusconi's second wife to file for divorce.
Soon after, a high-end prostitute, Patrizia D'Addario, claimed she had spent a night with the premier and had tape-recorded their encounter.
The conservative leader has said he has never paid anyone for sex. Prosecutors have said Berlusconi is not under investigation in the scandals over his dalliances with women.Scandal-hit Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi today got himself in to deeper... more

Trent'anni di storia, trent'anni di politica che si stanno ricomponendo pezzo dopo pezzo. Dal 1959 fino al 2002 Don Vito Ciancimino è stato protagonista (quasi sconosciuto) della vita politica del Paese. Assessore comunale ai lavori pubblici dal 1959 al 1964 presso il Comune di Palermo e poi sindaco sempre a Palermo dal 1970 al 1971. Un anno durò la carica di sindaco, ma basti pensare che nel corso di quel decennio, in cui Ciancimino ricoprì prima l'incarico di assessore e poi quello di sindaco, in una sola notte rilasciò 3.011 licenze edilizie a cinque pensionati nullatenenti. Nel 1984 Tommaso Buscetta rivelerà a Giovanni Falcone che "Vito Ciancimino è nelle mani dei corleonesi".
