How can you tell the tank never fired at her?? She's still breathing. Hope they investigate the "kidnapping."
Pray for W and Our Freedom Fighting Troops
Uh oh, more inconsistency spotted on the incident of the shootings. The expected speed of the vehicle is being altered and several versions of stories are coming from Italy.
AP - Italy Foreign Minister Disputes U.S. Claim
Foreign Minister Gianfranco Fini, speaking to parliament, also ruled out suggestions that the shooting that killed Nicola Calipari was the result of an ambush, but reiterated the government's demands for a full explanation from Washington.
"The car was traveling at a velocity that couldn't have been more than 40 kilometers (25 miles) per hour," Fini said. There were no attempts to stop the car, as indicated by the U.S. military, he added.
Guess what mr. Fini have said on another day.

As they neared the airport, the car slowed to about 40-km/h because the road was wet and because the driver had to make a sharp turning. Half way around the curve, a searchlight picked out the car and guns opened fire for 10-15 seconds, Fini said.

According to Italy's leading daily Corriere della Sera, the driver, an unidentified Italian agent, said: "We were driving slowly, about 40-50 km/h (25-30 mph)."
Sgrena, if my memory is correct, claimed 50 Km/h (30mph), and
the soldiers claimed 80km/h (50mph). While there is a gap between Italy and the US on the speed, there is also gaps beween Sgrena, the driver and mr. Fini. I wonder if anyone had an eye on the speed meter in the vehicle second by second?
