Subject: RE: BS: Italian Journalist shot by GIs in Iraq
If I were in Sgrena's shoes at the time, I probably would have thought I was being targetted. What else was she supposed to believe? She was told the Americans did not want her set free, she knew Calipari was a professional and had it all arranged. She says they were not speeding and she didn't see or hear a warning before shots were fired. What would you think if you were in her shoes?

I'm more likely to accept the first hand accounts of the two Italians who were there. I haven't heard what the soldiers said at the investigation. Have the Italians been given permission to interview the U.S. soldiers who were present? Why can't the Italians and the Americans agree on the conclusion?

Smells a whole lot fishy to me. Of course I never have been one to swallow the American Govt. version of things: hook, line and sinker. Why should I? Why should anyone?
