Post; Italy Doubts U.S. Version of Iraq Shooting (Reuters)


Reuters - Italian hostage Giuliana Sgrena, shot and
wounded after being freed in Iraq, said Sunday U.S. forces may
have deliberately targeted her because Washington opposed
Italy's policy of dealing with kidnappers.

Suddenly I don't feel so bad for her. Yeah sure, we shot her because we didn't agree with Italy's politics. Not stopping at a checkpoint had nothing to do with it huh?

Damn incident. The journalist and her husband are flat- out communist. No matter what they say.

We'll never get to hear the truth behind this. Both sides will tell their stories and the rest of us will have to pick and choose what we want to believe. For me, it'll take a lot of evidences before I even start to think the shooting was for political reasons.
