Well this just passes over the edge of any logic. If the US had been trying to kill her, don't you think they would have succeeded? With all that military sitting there shooting at the car, don't you think that they would have opened up with a BMG .50 and just torn the vehicle apart if the intent was to kill her.
This article is just a compilation of conspiracy theories and illogical hate against the US. It's almost funny when you step back and look at the whole thing. I really must get some alcoa stock, those tin foil beanies are becoming an international standard.
Also read her comments in this article. Why should any reasonable person believe her? She's been an extremely shrill critic of the American presence in Iraq, not to mention the world, and the fact she can't give America credit for anything should ring alarm bells. Could it possibly be that she is the one pushing this incident into a firestorm? She couldn't be the one lying now could she? Of course, she is so friggin' important that any statement she has made in the past makes the US military hate her and want her dead. Nice that she hasn't super aggrandized herself into an international power that the US fears.
Just to take this all a step further, when a MILITARY CHECKPOINT signals you to stop, what should you do? Continue along, or stop? No one seems to mention that the road to the airport has the highest levels of attacks in the area. Are we expected to believe that the US troops should be ordered to drop all defense because at some point there may be an italian hostage coming down the road? And how is the checkpoint to know who is in the vehicle? When you're signaled to stop, self preservation should scream STOP!
They keep stating that they weren't speeding. In whose eyes? The soldier who sees a car failing to stop when signaled, or the guy who isn't smart enough to stop when signaled to by a heavily armed checkpoint? Car bombers don't tend to stop either. Or did this driver miss that scenario?
Not that she isn't grand standing here.
No one can wait for the official investigation. But that wouldn't matter in anycase. They would still come out with it as being a cover up. When you have to listen to this crap from the tin foil beany crowd, you just know you're not going to win.
You know, after reading all of these articles and writing this, it's really too bad she wasn't killed. I'll state this clearly. The US would still be hearing all of this assination bull, but we wouldn't have to listen to this stupid cow's voice any more.
Harsh? Yep. Screw it.

Ah, the voice of reason. "Veteran War Reporter" without a clue about what happens in war zones. Hey STUPID, you went into the danger zone, you may wish to consider that you had something to do with this problem. Oh wait, can't be her fault, she's a journalist and all soldiers must be clairvoyant as to when a person is a journalist.Speaking from the Rome hospital where she is being treated, Sgrena said the troops may have targeted her because Washington opposes Italy's reported readiness to pay ransoms to kidnappers.
"The United States doesn't approve of this (ransom) policy and so they try to stop it in any way possible," the veteran war reporter, 57, told Sky Italia TV.
In later comments to Reuters, Sgrena was less strident:
"You could characterize as an ambush what happens when you are showered with gunfire. If this happened because of a lack of information or deliberately, I don't know, but even if it was due to a lack of information it is unacceptable."
