Not only that, but 3 of those arrested were children.

And since when did the military become the MAFIAA's enforcer?

How old were these so-called kids? 17?

And they do this since the Guardia di Finanza were always tasked with this type of law enforcement just like the FBI does here.

The Guardia di Finanza (the Finance Guard) is not the "Italian Army". They're a subdivision and a law enforcement arm of their Economy and Finance agency. They're like a mix of the Secret Service, DEA, FBI, ICE, Coast Guard and US Treasury agents rolled into one. They go after drug trafficers, tax evaders, cyber criminals, etc. It's not like army 'regulars' stormed a place and hauled out a bunch of kids.

We certainly wouldn't be shocked if the FBI raided a similar facility if it were in the US.

Yes we would what? And we were what?

At least make some attempt to follow the topic. That Cuban brat as ZERO to do with enforcing the Copyright Act.

But since you bring it up, you should actually read the links you post.

NO ONE was surprised that the gov't enforced the court order. And it wasn't the FBI, it was border agents who enforced the court ordered return of the kid. Given that the family told the gov't that they would "deal" with any intrusion, of course border agents were prepared to defend themselves and no one was injured. Hell, the SWAT officers even knocked first and only entered after no one answered the door.

The court ordered the kid returned, police tried to talk the extended family into releasing the boy back to his father. They refused to comply with the lawful order so the border agents had to enter the home to enforce the order and send the child home to his father who had legal custody.

If someone else in your family stole your kid and took him to another country, you would pray for that gov't to safely get your child back to you. That's what happened.

What's the next wiki article you'll cut and paste? Waco?

The FBI does these types of raids (enforcing federal statues) all the time whether it's stopping counterfeit works, or any number of other Federal crimes »www.fbi.gov/hq.htm

It shouldn't surprise anyone if the FBI raided a facility like that. That's their job and in Italian government, it's the job of the Guardia di Finanza (Finance Guard).

Going off on a tangent here, but this is a perfect example of how screaming yellow TV journalism influences opinions in this country. And then we wonder why the worst candidate gets nominated by both parties every election ...

It is funny that the picture of the border agent getting Elian out of the closet won a Pulitzer (in 2001) and it was Joseph Pulitzer who in his battle with Hearst started the whole yellow journalism craze of the late 19th and early 20th C.

In-Flight Broadband to Generate $936-Million---B.S

Just what I need on a long red eye from NY to LA, some idiot on his laptop watching porn. Or, some idiot listenining to hip-hop or another idiot using AOL IM with that irritating, "Blimp, Bling, Do-Daa" and the irrepresible, "You've Got Mail!"

Flights are already irritating enough with NO flight attendants serving anything except liquor in first class (me...usually drunk on a red eye), security randomly searching me everyfingtime (I fedex luggage), and the airline pilot barely flying since he's just gotten out of rehab and is still shaking from lack of liquor. Hey, I'll buy him a drink if it helps. And, there is always the chatterbox that just looooves the plane phone to TALK ABOUT USELESS GARBAGE LIKE WHAT CINDY DID LAST NIGHT!

So, if I see a laptop, I will walk by and just knock it over. "Oh, excuse me. Sorry the screen shattered."

All this is just another reason for me to eventually spring for my own Learjet. Turn off the toys, get a drink, and shut the f up! Or, Vito here will throw you out the door. I wonder if he or his laptop will hit the ground first?

You can already use laptops on flights (as long as the antenna is off)- if that person has the porn on their hard drive, what's stopping them from watching it now?
