Subject: RE: BS: Italian Journalist shot by GIs in Iraq
What vested interest does the driver of the car have? Why would he want the U.S. to look bad. Italy is an ally of the U.S.

Will the U.S. witnesses be available for questioning by the Italians?

Satellite pictures can be doctored.

Lets wait and see what the Italians say about the condition of the car.

Where was the so-called tank positioned? Was it a tank?

Lots of questions to be answered, including why the Italians and Americans did not come to the same conclusion.

I don't think too many people have been killed by Italian, friendly fire. On the other hand, lots of people have been killed by U.S. friendly fire, including Canadians! Lets face it, the U.S. has a piss poor record of communication with their allies. Why would anyone want to fight beside an ally that might as well be the enemy.
