Shade in Italy: Secret services for secret governments
Weekly - sort of - spot about Italian news. (Sorry for my weak English).

The week has been very sad for Italians. The present government is not able to tell where it is headed and people, of course, doesn't understand. But while the majority is discussing almost about everything, a new scandal has emerged.

While the Right was leading the country, between 2001 and 2006, a special section in the secret services is accused to have been spying on judges considered linked to the Left. The former premier and now vocal leader of the opposition has been just too quick to say that it was not him who ordered that spying.

It would be interesting to know who ordered it because it seems that the former head of the secret service is interested in saying that he was just serving his government by doing that illigal spying. Thus there are only two possible solutions: 1. we have a former premier that is lying about the secret service, 2. we had a secret premier and of course we didn't know. The third possibility is that all this is no true at all and for some secret reasons it just came out now.
