On the OpEd page of today's NY Times, we have, of all people, Curt Weldon writing about his heroic trip today to Libya to talk Qadaffi into quitting. Curt Weldon, who used to be our congressman in Pennsylvania's 7th district? He lost his job in the 2006 election partly because of his messy arrangements with Italian arms makers. Here's a 2006 article from the Times about those connections. Keep in mind the long historic ties between Libya and Italy. There is almost certainly more to this than meets the eye.
