"Il motore di ricerca che prepara quotidianamente la mia rassegna stampa non ha pietà. Severo ed inflessibile mi presenta (ed evidenzia) ciò che non vorrei leggere, nell'illusione di vivere in un Paese ignorato sì, ma in tutti i suoi aspetti. Purtroppo questa è, appunto, una pia illusione. Mi viene in mente ciò che dice Paolo Caccia Dominioni di Sillavengo in "El Alamein 1933 - 1962" Longanesi - Milano 1963 pag. 17 sgg:
"...Il comandante del 31° (Sillavengo - N.d.R.) tace i quattordici mesi di richiamo trascorsi a Roma, prima di venire in Africa. Era nel servizio segreto, in borghese, nell'ufficio cammuffato al terzo piano d'un edifico semipopolare, dove affluivano le notizie vere da ogni parte del mondo, senza il filtraggio destinato al grosso pubblico, informato dalla stampa e dalla radio. Ma per quell'ufficio non esisteva altro che la verità spietata, in una ghirlanda di corruzione politica, di incapacità militare, di affarismi ed intrallazzi osceni, sotto l'occhio sarcastico dell'alleato tedesco che aveva rappezzato, in qualche modo, le catastrofi strategiche italiane che avrebbero potuto coinvolgerlo..."
E' la notte del 29 Agosto 1942, poche ore prima della battaglia di Halam Halfa. Sono passati sessantasei anni da quella notte, ma l'oscena ghirlanda di corruzione politica permane immutata, sotto l'occhio sarcastico (e preoccupato) del mondo intero.

"...Italy’s prime minister has set a worrying precedent by pushing through new immunity laws.
This week, Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi pushed through laws that effectively granted him freedom from prosecution. He thanked Italian politicians with the words: “You’ve freed me.”
With the Italian economy on the brink of recession, people feeling the pinch of illegal immigration, and chaos in Naples, his calculated risk that Italians would care more about these issues than immunity laws and corruption charges appears to have paid off.
The “Berlusconi principle” that was entrenched in Italy last week could have severe consequences for the fight against corruption globally.
Not only is it setting a worrying precedent in a developed country, that ought to adopt higher standards in public life, but it is now creating a scapegoat example for leaders in developing countries that might wish to emulate this principle.
They might wish to use the pretext that it created a precedent in comparative law terms that can and should be emulated.
But the more worrying aspect is that the Berlusconi principle did not only extend to the man himself. He has ensured that laws were pushed through to protect the prime minister, the president and two other top elected officials from prosecution....."
