... he praised the Italian fascist leader Benito Mussolini as “basically a very principled, ethical individual” who had been “deeply misunderstood”

Fascism comes from 'fasces', like wood with an axe on it.

fasces (n.) dictionary.gif 1590s, from Latin fasces "bundle of rods containing an axe with the blade projecting" (plural of fascis "bundle" of wood, etc.), perhaps from PIE *bhasko- "band, bundle" (cf. Middle Irish basc "neckband," Welsh baich "load, burden," Old English bæst "inner bark of the linden tree"). Carried before a lictor, a superior Roman magistrate, as a symbol of power over life and limb: the sticks symbolized punishment by whipping, the axe head execution by beheading.

They're putting a positive spin on it.. Seems a lot of them have been quietly upset to have had a war criminal on the board. They're generally okay with a fascist manager though.
