The plane's crew was hustled back to Camp LeJeune, N.C., where the pilot was eventually accused, quaintly, of conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman and dismissed from the armed forces. There was no criminal prosecution and the U.S. government has never compensated the victims.

Needless to say, the Italians were outraged. Unfortunately for Amanda Knox, it seems they still are.

Blowback faces American citizens around the globe for crimes committed by those acting for the U.S., including its military. Tourists and travelers from the U.S. are fundamentally not safe in almost any foreign country. After 9/11, we might ask if our government has foreclosed the option that we can be safe anywhere.
