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
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?

U.S. Rules of Engagement1. Check if the person is white.2. If the person is white, be cautious, and only fire if being fired at. If the person is not white, blast the fucker.
man that lady is awesome... look at the quotes of her situationBut in an interview with Italy's La 7 Television, the 56-year-old journalist said "there was no bright light, no signal." And Italian magistrate Franco Ionta said Sgrena reported the incident was not at a checkpoint, but rather that the shots came from "a patrol that shot as soon as they lit us up with a spotlight."---------------------------------Rules of engagement permit coalition troops to use escalating levels of force if they feel threatened. They can use lethal force, for example, if a car refuses to stop for a checkpoint.
