The agent had been in the area since shortly after the invasion he knew full well the rules and procedures -- HE BLEW IT! Get over it Italy --- HE BLEW IT!

I'm sure the investigation will show the speed of the vehicle , whether or not it was slowing for the checkpoint, and determine its route and behavior at other checkpoints, as I'm told there are multiple checkpoints. Then I personally hope that President Bush makes it clear to our friend Berlusconi that we demand an investigation into why the Italian car, driven by an experienced Italian agent, attempted to blow a security checkpoint.
Sorry, but I'm becoming cynical as well as tired of the US being the international whipping boy.
