I wasn't implying anything other than responding to the general flow of the thread. Intentionally causing an incident is a setup. I'm sure the soldiers at the check point were not part of whatever went on. However, they will end up being the focal point of the investigation and will have to live with the knowledge that they may have taken an innocent life.
We put our soldiers in these situations and it is up to us to make sure that they are given every benefit of the doubt.
I think you misunderstood my comment or maybe I did not explain it very well:-)

Given some of the comments on the "Sgrena threads", we're not the only ones affected...

The Italian intelligence (?) decided to exclude the U.S. from their plans for a rescue and wondered why, when speeding through a check point (official or not it was U.S. soldiers defending the most dangerous roadway in Iraq), failing to stop when ordered to and the soldiers shot. Boo Hoo.

The saddest thing is the nasty arrogant hateful attitude displayed by some participants. This shameful attitude is also very harmful to American interests: [CaptainAwesome2] Damn!!! Missed her!! [montag813] I wish only this disgusting b*tch had been the one who died, [mystery-ak] .....and her commie boyfriend too! [Brilliant] The bottom line is that the journalists are getting in the way of this war. If they go in there, then they are asking for it. "[CaptainAwesome2] We are wasting money and the only good thing i see happening is some europeans are getting killed. [johnb838 ] Europe is worthless. Turd world sh!thole. [Squantos] LOR for poor marksmanship ! "
I'll second that. What happened there is a tragic accident most probably due to 1) the Italian intelligence's shroud of secrecy and 2) easily understandable elation from the agents. And the keyword is tragic.
