BBC reporter in Rome

A group of Italian anti-war militants is raising funds to support the armed Iraqi resistance, the BBC has learned.

The discovery comes as Italy mourns 19 men killed in a suicide attack in Iraq last week.

The "Antiimperialista" organisation's internet campaign asks people to send "10 Euros to the Iraqi resistance".

Absolutely shameful. I love this: "They are currently organising an anti-war demonstration in Italy next month, and it remains to be seen whether news of the fund-raising activities will deter more moderate anti-war activists from attending."

Any bets? You know, someone will probably accuse me of "blurring the line" between anti-war protesters and, well, traitors. But it's the BBC that's doing the blurring here. If they called them "terrorist sympathizers" or "Italians who support those who are killing their countrymen" that would be different. But they're not willing to do that. Why not?
