The Brutti were an ancient people of southern Italy, occupying the interior of Bruttium (The Southern part of Italy, close to Sicilia). They helped Hannibal during the Second Punic War and after its conclusion their territory was confiscated and they were declared public slaves.
They are one of the three Roman families in the Rome: Total War computer game.
Brutti was referring to US President George Bush's speech in the weeks before the start of the Iraq war.
Brutti, a leading opposition senator, said SISMI analysed the documents between October 2002 and January 2003, when the Americans were informed.
Brutti said the commission was told that the documents were forged by an information peddler named Rocco Martino, whom he described as a former SISMI collaborator.
