Reply #76: I think,

considering the information we have at this point, that it is a possibility, in light of all the other "unfrienfly" journalists who have been targeted. They were shot without warning from an armoured vehicle, and it wasn't a checkpoint and they weren't speeding. Doesn't sound like the soldiers (in the armoured vehicle) had any reason to panic. So if they didn't know who they were shooting at, that means they pretty much shoot at anything that moves, just for the hell of it. This is my assessment based on the information we have at this point.

It wouldn't necessarily have been ordinary soldiers who did it. Let us not forget that Doanld Rumsfeld has created an "SS" force to do dirty work for him. And that the "Salvador option" is "being discussed", meaning death squads. It has been done before. In Italy, in the 70s, the CIA in cooperation with Italian right-wing groups, killed innocent people and staged terrorist events and blamed it on the Communists. They killed left-wing journlists. This is not tin-foil stuff but cold, hard facts.
