There have been reports

their cars and murdered.

Maybe the driver
believed there was an ambush
and tried to run it.

***Maybe the driver believed there was an ambush and tried to run it.***

If that is their story - seems like an intelligence person would have done a U-ie instead of continuing to run toward it. You will never hear that story from the "hostage". Instead you will hear that she was targeted by the evil Americans.

Nope, I don't believe so. They themselves say they were on a part of the road to the Baghdad Airport that is already secured by the Americans, therefore, I think your theory that the driver or occupants thought they would be kidnapped by Islamosfascsists or theives (and thus tried to run the roadblock) doesn't necessarily work. In fact, it points up the fact that the driver SHOULD HAVE OBEYED ORDERS/SIGNALS IN THIS SECURITY ZONE TO THE AIRPORT.

Of course that's what happened. How was the driver to know it was the US military waiting for them or a bunch of jihadist savages?

I'm telling you the IQ level in here is dropping weekly.

How about the Italian "Intelligence?" Service communicating to the U.S. Military their plan & route? This doesn't pass the smell test.
