WASHINGTON (AFP) - A US satellite reportedly recorded a checkpoint shooting in     Iraq last month, enabling investigators to reconstruct how fast a car carrying a top Italian intelligence official and a freed hostage was traveling when US troops opened fire.
 
The report, which aired Thursday on CBS News, said US investigators concluded from the recording that the car was traveling at a speed of more than 60 miles (96 km) per hour.

Giuliana Sgrena has said the car was traveling at a normal speed of about 30 miles an hour when the soldiers opened fired, wounding her and killing Nicola Calipari, the Italian agent who had just secured her release from a month's captivity.

US soldiers said at the time of the March 4 incident that the car approached at a high rate of speed and that they fired only after it failed to respond to hand signals, flashing bright lights and warning shots.

The conflicting accounts were among a number of differences that have prevented US and Italian authorities from reaching agreement on what happened.

CBS, citing     Pentagon officials, said the satellite recording enabled investigators to reconstruct the event without having to rely on the eyewitness accounts.

It said the soldiers manning the checkpoint first spotted the Italian car when it was 137 yards (meters) away. By the time they opened fire and brought the car to a halt, it was 46 yards (meters) away. CBS said that happened in less than three seconds, which meant the car had to be going over 60 miles an hour.

CBS said Italian investigators refused to accept that the Americans were justified in shooting so quickly, arguing among other things that the checkpoint was not properly marked

So i shouldnt do a topic about an italian medal of honor simply because 1,500 americans have died and thousands of Iraqi have died? Man, that's a topic 99% political and 1% about the death of this man. Anyway.. just to make it clear:

Iraqi killed by Italians: 0
Italian civils killed by Iraqi: 5
Italian civils kidnapped by Iraqi: 8
Italian Carabinieri (police) killed by Iraqi: 23
Italian agents killed by US: 1

You dissed me when i talked about the 8 italians kidnapped, before. You dissed me when i talked about the Nassyryah massacre. You're dissing me about this topic. I understand you dont give a fuck about those "small" numbers, but i do. If you aint interested there's no need to reply like that moron King Tech did, dissing me. Simply skip this topic.

Hold on, i'll change the topic title so you'll not be forced to patriottical defend your soldiers. Ok?

Multi Tasker:
What's the point of this? To state that you dissapprove of how the US handles things? Isn't it obvious that a lot of people don't particularly like how the United States Government "takes care" of situations. But I'm sure that your government would do (or has done) the same thing as what America is doing now. No one likes to admitt that they were wrong or at fault. True, America seems to take that concept to extremes, but you'd be lying to yourself if you thought your country didn't do the same.
