agree, I'll bet that car WAS going very fast. understandably so. not sure if it's accurate, but, heard that our military was not informed of the negotiated release.
Pray for W and Our Troops
I like your analysis!

oops....sorry for double post
"Sgrena told Sky Italia TV. So I don't see why I should rule out that I could have been the target."
If only that were true. Our troops need to start realizing that the biggest enemies they have over there are journalists like this and take matters into their own hands.
I sort of like this Italian girl. She could meet the red-head German gal that runs around on a HOG:) I'm assuming the liberation forces backed away after getting an earful:)
You're absolutely correct!
Think about it, commies who despise America siding WITH America against Americas enemies? Not likely.
The Baath Party (both Syrian and Saddams boys) modelled their countries loosely on Stalin and Soviet Communism. These guys are now outta jobs and Pi$$ed that we run the place.
Of course these guys and the EuroPinkos' are going to chat over a cappucino and work out how to undermine the US.
My question for the commies is this - Do they even HAVE newspapers in commie countries? And if communism is soooo great... MOVE TO CUBA!!!!!!
Of course they won't, because they know like everyone else that living conditions suck in these places. Much easier to be a hypocrite, make decent $$$ drive an Alfa or BMW, live without fear of jackboot up your a$$ while you're sleeping, and criticize everything your enjoying. Do you get the feeling these people enjoy being outsiders?
Finally, like others have said, if she were meant to die... she would be DEAD! Can't see the point in winging the b?tch and killing someone else. I say let the Italians pull a KGB job, and go in there and shut the place down. Il manifesto should enjoy that, they ARE commies after all!!
She needs to write a special report for the world. The headline should be: if you try running a US roadblock, you will be shot. Period.
Oh, and BTW, communism sucks.
I wonder how many cars go through this checkpoint every day without being shot at. Then here comes this lady and for no reason at all they open fire on her vehicle. Yea, whatever.

From LGF: A correction:Oh brother. In their video report on the incident, the Associated Press used a picture of a car that had nothing to do with Giuliana Sgrena. Here’s the caption for the earlier photo linked immediately above:
An Iraqi driver stands near his damaged vehicle at the site of the kidnapping of an Italian journalist outside al-Nahrain University in central Baghdad, February 4, 2005. Giuliana Sgrena was snatched from the street as she conducted interviews near the university, police sources and diplomats said. Gunmen pulled up alongside her vehicle, forced her driver and an Iraqi journalist with her out of the vehicle at gunpoint and then drove off with Sgrena, the sources said. The driver said that the gunmen hit his car as they were rushing away from the scene following the kidnapping. (Akram Saleh/Reuters)
It isn't the right car.
In a what?
Left-wing journalist Giuliana Sgrena...who writes for a communist newspaper that routinely opposes U.S. policy in Iraq,
Ya don't think she would have a hidden agenda do you???
Apparently you are not aware of your WWII history. The Italians were second only to the french in display of their fighting skills.
The Capaccino Ca 161.3 was a twin engine aircraft arranged in a push-pull configuration. The rear engine was more powerful than the forward engine and could extract the pilot from any danger faster than he could encounter it.
All right...all right. But it is as credible as Sgrena's story.
I think you're right. See here.

They behead most hostages, but she is released. Something tells me she sympathized with them and probably kissed up to them, giving aid and comfortto the terrorists.
But did they really pay a ransom? If so then they should be arrested and tried for funding terrorism. And did she actually get treasted at a US-funded hospital?
