Italy disputes U.S. shooting account
Thirteen:
Nice....she was freed because they gave the hostage takers a million dollars...that's money well spent
she also think that the US tried to assassinate her
this bitch has gotten too much publicity
acbaylove:
It's not just that "bitch", man. It's the whole italian convoy who denied American version of the facts. And some of them are diplomats and members of our intelligence, so you have to respect them (Americans dont really want to break their international relationships with our intelligence, there's no need to do that). Personally i dont think Americans wanted to kill her (it was denied by our intelligence anyway, it's just her saying so), that's just her getting shot and being paranoid after it (a man died on her hands..). But for sure our witnesses are giving a totally different interpretation to what it happened than America did in their first version of the story. So much that Bush said: "Let's finish the investigations before we quickly jump to the conclusions". And i think they already admitted it wasnt a real check-point, but just a patrol.

i understand tht but this lady is blowing things out of proportion for her own self interests... she's making outlandish claims and she's not adding anything to the investigations but lies...
she didn't tell exactly how she was freed/rescued... other people had to investigate into it...because you can't actually be proud of giving a million dollars to hostage takers....this is like giving a van and some gas certificates to some child molesters
she tells the heart wrenching story that that guy died in her arms when an autopsy was performed on him...it said he died instanly from a single GSW to the head
then she spreads rumours that the US tried to assassinate her.
and the only different account they are giving is that they weren't speeding and there wasn't supposed to be an american unit there... they did see bright lights...which were warnings to stop... the first shots went into the engine block of the car which more than likely caused the driver to panic (shit i know i would) and then the whole situation escalated from there
Rampant:
until yesterday i didnt hear the part of the story where they paid the hostage takers money for her freedom.
....Am i the only one who finds that wrong?

True that. I never liked this journalist. She's an antiamerican leftwinger no-war noglobal pro-peace journalist who makes books, so she 99% exaggerated with that "i know things American dont want me to say". Just to add you something about this "bitch", she thanked Iraqi guys who kidnapped her cause they treated her well. An extremely dumb statement, if you ask me. Expecially when the guy who saved you from them is dead in your hands. I'm the opposite of this "bitch". I'm pro-american rightwinger and i hate noglobals, so i'm in no way defending her. I dont give a fuck about her. I want the truth for the poor hero who died.

Actually nobody confirmed it. It wasnt our Minister to say we paid a million dollar. It was an Iraqi Minister, but we didnt confirm it. Who knows? Anyway they kidnapped a pro-Iraqi guy, so i'm sure they just wanted some money. They didnt give a fuck about Iraq, man. That's for sure. Cause money bought them.

When we say somebody died in our hands, we italian means "because of me", not litterally "in our hands".

Bullshit. I agree. I'm saying that from the first post.

There are more details they revealed only to our prosecutor. But that changes everything, imo. Cause you cant blame italians no more, this way. It's just a mistake, like i'm saying from the first post. But this way somebody could be investigated for culpable homicide.
