Yes, BB, you did misinterpret.

When lots of people seemed to assume automatically that the Italian reporter was telling the gospel truth and that the Americans tried to kill her because they don't like her views, I have been essentially defending the troops who fired on the approaching car. You would know this had you read my posts. When Doug leaped to the conclusion that everybody was condemning the troops, I pointed out to him that not everyone was. But I also pointed out to him that we don't know yet if they were as lily-pure as he assumes they are (as is his wont).

I have said several times that in the light of conflicting stories and the fact that none of us knows definitively what actually happened, anything anyone says on this thread is pure speculation.

In short, I have kept saying all along, don't jump to conclusions.

And to you I say, don't jump to conclusions about my views about anything unless I say specifically what I think. If you try to label and pigeon-hole me, you will most assuredly be wrong.
