I wonder if Prodi will investigate the forged Niger documents. It wouldn't surprise me if they weren't somehow linked to Berlusconi.

10. Is it really final?

According to Ledeen, they have until the 28th to confirm:

Ten years ago, Italians had to choose between two factions headed -- surprise! -- by Messrs. Prodi and Berlusconi. However long Mr. Prodi may govern, we undoubtedly know the name of his successor. Indeed, it is still technically possible for Mr. Berlusconi to remain in office, because the courts are required to check the tallies, which are reported telephonically to the interior ministry. There is normally a difference of 40,000 to 60,000 votes between the original results provided by the interior ministry and the final numbers. In 2001 the number was 57,000. So it is still possible that, when the courts announce the results on April 28, the center-right will have a stable majority in the Chamber. It would only require a shift of about 13,000 votes.

It would be a fitting final scene for the melodrama of the past few days.

11. Ledeen is scared shitless of a Prodi government

Because Prodi may pursue the Niger forgery conspiracy, which leads straight back to this rabid neocon
