I agree. Then there is the other understated
argument...
Italy didn't plan safe escape for hostage

Let me get this right. This person who was just released from a real stressful ordeal isn't first of all real anxious to get to a safe area so as to not be kidnapped again. Then while casually cruising through the dangerous streets of Iraq, she's paying attention to the speedometer to make sure the driver is not speeding. Was she afraid that they may get a ticket? I would think that if they were really trying to ensure their safety, they would be flagging down ANY people in uniform to help provide ensure safe passage. Stinkin communistas!
Proud to be Italian American!
