Michelle Malkin: The ransom of the red reporter

Michelle Malkin: The ransom of the red reporter: "Italian aid workers -- who praised their kidnappers as 'resisters' -- were freed after the government paid at least $1 million in cash to their Iraqi captors.
The admission came after heated denials by top government officials. Selva, auditioning Italy for a spot in the Axis of Weasels pantheon, mused at the time: 'In principle, we shouldn't give in to blackmail, but this time we had to, although it's a dangerous path to take because, obviously, it could encourage others to take hostages, either for political reasons or for criminal reasons.'
How do you say 'No duh' in Italian?"
