[RSF] Fwd: Security Message for U.S. Citizens:Demonstrations…

.Il Dipartimento di Stato USA ha mandato la email che segue a tutti i cittadini statunitensi in Italia, per dir loro che sarebbe prudente starsene lontani dalla manifestazione di domani.
 
Invece il governo americano NON ha avvertito i suoi cittadini di starsene lontani dalle conferenze stampa della NATO in Italia, eventi davvero pericolosi.   Chissà perché?
