==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. <small>—Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) 01:20, 1 June 2008 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

Why don't you add that he belives that 911 was perpetrated by the CIA? /AUTOSIGN

] (]) 00:50, 1 November 2008 (UTC)Finest Italian statesmen? A fascist more like. Or did you forget Operation Gladio?

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

==conspiracy notions==
I've removed some conspiracy notions of Brenneke and Razin, per ]. ] 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. <small>—Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) 21:57, 3 March 2008 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

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

== Warning! Ironic statement. ==

The statement quoted in this wiki page means the opposite of what it is said to mean! <small>—Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) 12:43, 13 April 2008 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

thank you! I made a similar remark but it was erased, I really hope yours won't. ] <small>—Preceding ] was added at 23:07, 14 April 2008 (UTC)</small><!--Template:Undated--> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

: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. ] (]) 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. ] <small>—Preceding ] was added at 14:38, 9 May 2008 (UTC)</small><!--Template:Undated--> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== 'Statements to Corriere della Sera regarding 9/11' section ==

On reading the abovenamed section, it seems by using such a large blockquote, we are potentially in violation of copyright. Furthermore, the material appears to be on the extreme fringe of ] as far as a ] of the subject is concerned. I feel it should be removed. ] ] 06:49, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

:I'd suggest paring it down to a paragraph, but not removing it completely. More importantly, this article leaves out that he was -only teasing- when he made those statements. Basically what happened is that this story got picked up by some alternative media in the U.S., which translated his statements without irony, and then all that got seized on by the "Truther" movement. We should probably have just a paragraph of source X said A, source Y said B, so as to demystify the conspiracy theory. I think we can get the undue weight problems fixed with careful wording. ] (]) 23:43, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

::I don't see any irony in the Italian wording of Cossiga's statement, as reported in Corriere della Sera. Maybe we should consult a native Italian speaker on this matter.&nbsp;<span style="border:1px solid;color:#000085">]</span> 02:13, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

:The blockquote is stylistically awkward and should be replaced by a description of what Cossiga said, possibly with shorter inline quotes from the article. It is probably not easy to reach consensus on how to paraphrase what he said (this may well be the reason why there is just a verbatim quote at the moment). Therefore, I suggest to discuss proposals for an alternate text on this talk page here, before changing the article itself. Quotes in Italian may be added in the footnotes. I do not think there is a copyright problem with the current quote, however.&nbsp;<span style="border:1px solid;color:#000085">]</span> 02:07, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

::Irony or no, I don't see any particular biographical relevance. He may indeed have said it, but either there is too little context to indicate its relevance, or there just isn't any relevance. It's a very awkward passage in its current guise, not just stylistically, although I agree on that point too. ] ] 03:16, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

==Clean-up==

I have corrected what was not exactly the best example of written English on Misplaced Pages. I am very ignorant regarding Italian politics and am of the opinion that some of the content here is rather dubious. I was left at odds with the use of abbreviations for the party names; I do not know the names of Italian political parties and thus could not clarify their abbreviations. --] (]) 22:57, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
