Outrage? Why not sorrow? An unfortunate accident to be sure. The man was a hero for risking his life to save the kidnap victim. It remains to be seen if he was a fool for risking all their lives for nothing.
You got that right...this story stinks.
Good question.
Although the Romans never conquered Germania Magna, thanks in part to Armenius, aka "Herman the German", who destroyed 3 legions. Plus, in the later Roman Empire, most of the soldiers and generals were German. When the Emperors ran out of money to pay their German armies, that was it for the empire.
Orchestrated by said propagandist herself, methinks.
Pandemic socialism has muted their sense of self-preservation.
I do not claim that they were doing this intentionally (but anyone might have such suspicion, especially those who protest too much). The agent died because he was covering her - so the bullets were coming into her direction.

Italy has troops in Iraq in support of US. At least for that reason Italians deserve more respect.
Now Italy gets to discover how screwing over America and getting our boys killed effects their economy. Unless Berlusconi refutes the reports that his government paid/assisted the payment of bribes to these terrorists, consider the boycott of all Italian products to be on. And unlike the French boycott, I actually have some Italian consumables in my house.
I think she went to Iraq looking for trouble and she found it.
Serbs and Greeks also were very brave. BTW, for USA the 20% of population would be 65 millions today.
Exactly.
She supposedly is within moments of having her neck slashed. Yet now we hear her praising them to the skies and condemning our military for doing their job because the driver didn't listen to warning? I think it's entirely possible this was planned with her "captors", and if it wasn't? That woman clumsily orchestrated it herself.
I'm sorry for the agent but I feel nothing remotely near compassion for this woman.
Maybe these were not high powered rifle bullets?
So you think the soldiers knew who she was, where she was sitting in the car, and so on? Then why didn't they finish her off after the car stopped? This is ridiculous. A car tried to run a US military roadblock in the dark and the soldiers opened fire. They obviously fired only a few rounds, or everyone in the car would have been killed instantly. I'm not one of the people here who wishes the woman journalist had been killed, but I doubt if the soldiers knew the identities of anyone in the car. The shooting was entirely the fault of the people who tried to run the roadblock.
Sheer horsepucky. Only in the movies will a human body shield another from the impact of high-velocity rounds. In the real world both would be torn to shreds.
Mommy, please make it stop.
Unbelievable. The freaking driver of the car refused to stop. That is not OK when you approach a military check point in Iraq these days.
So now we have to endure this "victim" and her BS for the rest of our lives. Does she think that she'd be better off dead?
Start with the driver who failed to heed warnings to stop. And end it there.
