Italy disputes U.S. shooting account
acbaylove:
They said it's impossible Americans didnt know about our "mission", infact they changed their first version of the story ("we didnt know about the mission") with a new one ("we knew it, but there was a lack of communication"). It changes everything. Americans knew it, in fact they are the only ones to control the Airport. And there was an italian airplane who landed there some minutes before, so they had their authorization and Americans checked it front to back. They knew about this mission. They probably didnt communicate well between American intelligence and American army. So the patrol probably didnt know there was a car coming there. About the shooting, our members of intelligence still alive confirmed they werent driving fast, no way. In fact Americans changed their version about that too. Plus they didnt have time to stop, since Americans suddenly started to shooting. For 10 long seconds, damaging the car's engine, hitting 2 guys, killing one and injuring Giuliana Sgrena. Pratically them all. About the cellulars, they're still confiscated by Americans, and they aint giving them back to our prosecutor yet. But they are sending him the damaged car to make ballistic tests. American ambassador is again in Berlusconi's office as i write. If you didnt know, to officially call an ambassador in your office is the strongest thing you can diplomatically do to another Country. It never happened in our history before, just to let you understand how deep and important is this thing. Not even for the massacre of Ustica or the one of Cermis, if you know what i'm talking about. Bush better handle it well. We will probably ask American ambassador the cellulars and the transcripts of the interrogations of the soldiers who made the mistake. And their names. Americans legally can refuse to cooperate, since they are "military secrets", but my feeling is that if they do it, they'll loose the best ally they have in Europe at the moment breaking once forever the international relationships between USA and Europe/rest of the world. We will see. The damaged car will arrive in Italy tomorrow or the next day. Other important things i'm hearing.. Giuliana Sgrena denied she knew "special secrets" Americans didnt want her to know. And it's pacific that they didnt shot 400 rifles on them. She lied. But that's because she's a communist lefwinger noglobal antiamerican bitch. Fucking communists! She also said an important thing about those manifestations pro-peace communists and antiamericans use to do. She said the people who kidnapped her used to watch tv. When they saw thousands of people manifesting for her and burning the american flag, they used to say: "You see it? You're famous! People is with us! We did a good thing kidnapping you!!". So instead of helping negotiations, those manifestations drove the negotiations into the payment of a ransom, probably. Fucking morons!

Yeah, if you cut Great Britain and Israel, who storically are very close to Americans, we're up there, probably 3rd. And we're very important politically for Bush, in Europe. Remember Berlusconi is a very good friend of Putin too.

Okay, this thread has blown up to three pages, I don't have time to read everything, I'm kind of behind on this event. Could somebody just break it down for me in a few sentences what has happened?
I have a few questions.
I heard from someone that the news said American's shot her on purpose? Is there any truth to that? Was she some kind of threat to America? And was the event an accident?

A convoy of Italians freed an hostage from Iraqi, and on their way to the airport, at about 700mt from it, an american patrol friendly fired them killing one man (medal of honor), hitting the kidnapped journalist and injuring (but we dont know more, since i'm talking about 007's) one or two more guys.

They are still investigating about it. I think they didnt shot them on purpose (simply cause they didnt kill her, so..), but it was a lack of communication between American intelligence (they knew about the mission and about our convoy coming to the airport, since the airport is totally controlled by Americans and our airplane was ready to flight the hostage to Italy) and American army (i mean that patrol). The patrol was a mobile one, so it happened it was there that moment. They were probably scared (it's a dangerous zone) and they opened fire. The convoy wasnt going fast... it's a culpable homicide, imo. Not an assault.
