So her car was at normal speed and she admits she did not see the checkpoint. Therefore she tried to drive through it at full speed.
I do have a problem with her being shot. She did not die. If that had been a car bomb, our guys would be dead. They need to USE a tank next time.
I was thinking that she probably would have been placed on teh floor or maybe laying on the back seat to keep her out of view. So she would never have seen a check point or signals by soldiers to slow down.
If you had just been released by kidnappers, you would be driving as fast as possible to get out of dodge...am I wrong?
