  Yes.. And the Italians hung several of our crews that came
  down over Foggia...
     You should read the recent defense of the ITALIAN lawyers
 engaged by the crew... The cable went to about 6,000 feet up
 the mauntain, The cable car was not on the Italian maps, the
 cables and area were not marked in any manner as normally done
 for power lines, etc.
     An AWAC aircraft was tarcking them in the area and says
 their radar track show them on course and altitude...
     So who is right...
    We have carried the weight of the UN on our shoulders
 and it is about time others shar the load... There is more
 unrest and terrorism than ever in history.. Too many countries
 to name...
