American press defends its students and attacks the Italian police

(by Lucrezia Otreos - Legality and Security Movement) The news of the arrest of the two American boys has had a strong echo in the USA

But contrary to what one might imagine, the indignation is not mounted for the murder of the carabiniere Mario Cerciello #Rega, but for the arrest of the two students.

La CNN, for example, opening his service to what happened in Rome, he specified that now the story is told only by "the police" and that there was no way of knowing whether the two boys had defense lawyers. Also because, the American network continues, the US Embassy to Italy - American Embassy in Rome it is closed for the weekend by observing that there are still aspects to be clarified in the affair. All without having focused on the murderer's accomplice Elder Lee, blindfolded and handcuffed on a chair.

Also ' ABC gives the news of the arrest of the two American boys, declaring that "Prosecutors are accusing him of repeatedly stabbing 35-year-old Carabinieri paramilitary policeman... "(" Public prosecutors accuse him of repeatedly stabbing a paramilitary policeman of 35 years ...) proving that he has no idea of ​​the history of the Italian Carabinieri nor of the story itself.

The same investigative journalist Dan Noyes, despite the confession of the two Americans, calls them "Both suspects", both suspected.

Always the#a B C speaks of the illegally blindfolded, illegally blinded student, never calling the two boys "murderers", but always "students" and forgetting the containment chairs used in the US with the inmates, who are tied in a chair with wheels and hooded before being turned to a wall.

even the Los Angeles Times puts the murder into second place and focuses on the illegally blindfolded student (even forgetting the American containment systems).

Il The New York Times is the only US newspaper that remembers how the two boys admitted to having contributed to the murder of the military

Il The Washington Post forget to give more details on the murder of Cerciello Rega and focuses on the "intolerable" photo of the blindfolded boy during the detention

All the US media, however, report that the official statements made are only those of the Italian police and how they are awaiting official comments from the United States and the Italian Embassy of the United States.

Many of the US media recall the arrest of Amanda Knox, later found innocent, but forget the murder of 20 people, killed by the American military on the Cermis and who have never faced the trial in Italy.
