IT’S ENTIRELY POSSIBLE, OF COURSE, THAT THEY’RE BOTH TELLING THE TRUTH:

A FULL-BLOODED Italian political row echoed across Europe yesterday as the Italian Prime Minister and the President of the European Commission traded accusations of corruption. . . .

Signor Prodi and Signor Berlusconi are due to meet at the Salonika summit on June 20, as Italy prepares to take over the EU presidency from Greece. A breakdown in trust between the European Commission and the country holding the presidency would make it almost impossible to conduct business.

Interesting.
