[edit] SARCASM, ANYONE?

whoever purports to convince the world that cossiga believes 9/11 to have been a conspiracy is a fool, and doesn't know the first thing about the temperament of one of the finest italian statesmen of the 20th century. I am ashamed that wikipedia has allowed itself to sink to such low depths.   —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.157.110.53 (talk) 01:20, 1 June 2008 (UTC) 

[edit] Miscellaneous news

I introduced this section because the news I moved there doesn't seem to me so important to be included in the page. Still, I didn't want to erase it without listening to other opinions. Let me know. Cviviani

I don`t agree with you. Important news should be added.

[edit] conspiracy notions

I've removed some conspiracy notions of Brenneke and Razin, per WP:NPOV. Intangible2.0 02:39, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

What exactly defines a "conspiracy notion" do you think you might want to restate that as "alternative theories" and repost. You have basically used a common misnomer to slander this person. The word conspiracy does not equate to an invalid notion, because people conspire to do things all the time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tamzarian (talk • contribs) 21:57, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] italian wiki=

Can someone please translate the italian article to add something here?

[edit] Warning! Ironic statement.

The statement quoted in this wiki page means the opposite of what it is said to mean! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Icarwiz (talk • contribs) 12:43, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

thank you! I made a similar remark but it was erased, I really hope yours won't. cviviani —Preceding comment was added at 23:07, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

There is nothing even close to satire within, quite opposite, it is inline with Mr. Cossigas previous remarks, such as he made in 2001 when he stated:

The mastermind of the attack must have been a “sophisticated mind, provided with ample means not only to recruit fanatic kamikazes, but also highly specialized personnel. I add one thing: it could not be accomplished without infiltrations in the radar and flight security personnel.”

Please do not reinsert such warnings; we are not here to issue those, honestly. Tachyonbursts (talk) 03:50, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

sure warnings should not be on wikipedia. however people who don't know Cossiga might think he really believes what he says in that interview, and for whoever is remotely aware of the role of Cossiga in Italian politics and of his thinking he was clearly being provocative. As very often he does. so I believe that, in some way, the reader should be warned - otherwise he could be misleaded.

as far as your citation is concerned, I don't see how it implies the things that Cossiga says in the interview. cviviani —Preceding comment was added at 14:38, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Birth Date

He was born in 1928 wasn't he? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.87.186.52 (talk) 09:35, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
