After all the media hype,
the truth:
Despite a phone call from U.S. President George Bush to Berlusconi, during which the American leader expressed regret and promised to investigate the incident, anger was not assuaged in Italy nor abroad."Another victim of an absurd war," said Alfonso Pecoraro Scanio, leader of the Green Party.
A communist senator called for a demonstration in front of the U.S. Consulate in Milan.
A statement by multinational forces said U.S. troops tried to warn the occupants of the car carrying Sgrena as it sped toward a checkpoint in western Baghdad about 9 p.m. local time. U.S. troops "attempted to warn the driver to stop by hand and arm signals, flashing white lights, and firing warning shots in front of the car," the statement said. "When the driver didn't stop, the soldiers shot into the engine block, which stopped the vehicle."
U.S. official said two people were wounded, but Berlusconi said three were, including Sgrena, Calipari and another intelligence officer.
Sgrena was taken to a U.S. military hospital where she underwent a minor operation to remove a piece of shrapnel.

They ignore the 800 pound elephant in the room.
And that elephant is RED.
The value of independent blogs and news/discussion sites, will be played up even more in the next few days as we carry the TRUTH and the WHOLE PICTURE that the MSM ignores or fears running with.
Thanks, Freeper, for the version of TRUTH here, to follow the LIES of the Communists in Italy I just posted.
There have been reports
of people getting dragged from
their cars and murdered.
Maybe the driver
believed there was an ambush
and tried to run it.
