Our people aren't at fault.
This "journalist", who's kidnapping is still suspect, wishes to destroy the alliance. Her "friends" in the MSM have the same goal. They are going to hype this and try to turn everyone against Americans and Berlusconi. They want Berlusconi out. It'll be interesting to observe how Berlusconi handles it. If he survives the MSM whipping the population, already against the war, against us.
Americans aren't going to fall for it. Fact is the driver was at fault. Any attempts by OUR press to make our troops into murderers is going to be met with fury. I'm not concerned from our end. I do wonder if a close ally has the skill to outmanuveur the press in Italy.
Also, it wouldn't hurt if people started digging into the details of her kidnapping and activities. I hope some of our people are. I have the feeling there is far more to this than they want the population to know.
I don't trust communists and I know terrorists don't release people out of the good of their heart.
