Reply #213: There was a plane waiting for her, so how

[cal04]

do they not know, when I'm sure that plane had been there since he got there and the car had to be the same one they left with.
There was heavy rain and you can't travel at speed on that road
The Iraqi resistance has nothing to gain from these atrocities and the invader/occupiers have everything to gain in the propaganda war.

"All the American media said the Italian car, which was carrying the former hostage and Italian intelligence officers, was speeding at checkpoint and thus fired upon by American troops. However, foreign news reports it differently.

A plane was waiting to take her home. But while the car was still some 600 metres from the terminal, American troops opened fire, unleashing a volley of 300 to 400 shots, killing Mr Calipari outright and wounding Ms Sgrena and the other two intelligence officers in the car, one of them seriously.

Enzo Bianco, the opposition head of the parliamentary committee that oversees Italy's secret services, described the American account as unbelievable. 'They talk of a car travelling at high speed, and that is not possible because there was heavy rain in Baghdad and you can't travel at speed on that road,' Bianco said. 'They speak of an order to stop, but we're not sure that happened.'

Pier Scolari, Sgrena's partner who flew to Baghdad to collect her, put an even more sinister construction on the events, suggesting in a television interview that Sgrena was the victim of a deliberate ambush. 'Giuliana may have received information which led to the soldiers not wanting her to leave Iraq alive,' he claimed.
