BBC NEWS | World | Europe | Italy media reveals Iraq details:

"A Greek medical student at Bologna University who was surfing the web early on Sunday found that with two simple clicks of his computer mouse he could restore censored portions of the report.

He passed the details to Italian newspapers which immediately put out the full text on their own websites.

The missing text contains the names and ranks of all of the American military personnel involved in the killing of Nicola Calipari, the Italian agent who was given a state funeral and awarded Italy's highest medal of valour.
...

The official Italian report on the incident expected to be published this week will accuse the American military of tampering with evidence at the scene of the shooting."
