"Attack was deliberate" says Giuliana's companion/CLG news
Edited on Sat Mar-05-05 10:37 PM by rainy
US attack against Italians in Baghdad was deliberate: companion --The companion of freed Italian journalist Giuliana Sgrena on Saturday leveled serious accusations at US troops who fired at her convoy as it was nearing Baghdad airport, saying the shooting had been deliberate. "The Americans and Italians knew about (her) car coming," Pier Scolari said on leaving Rome's Celio military hospital where Sgrena is to undergo surgery following her return home. "They were 700 meters (yards) from the airport, which means that they had passed all checkpoints." The shooting late Friday was witnessed by Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's office which was on the phone with one of the secret service agents, said Scolari. "Then the US military silenced the cellphones," he charged. "Giuliana had information, and the US military did not want her to survive," he added.

2. Flanders had some good points
If you are shooting at the engine block, as the military is claiming, then why did one die of a head wound, and others have shoulder and neck wounds?

3. *choke* They were talking to Berlusconi when they were attacked.
They are confirming that EVERYONE knew she was coming through and that they had already passed through checkpoints.

This is a VERY serious blotch,...with plenty of evidence that the neoCONs are,...what they are,...

6. What Info Could Be So Damning . . .
. . . that they would try to assassinate her?

How do they know what infomation she had?

Did she acquire this info - while a captive?

"Giuliana had information, and the US military did not want her to survive," he added."

7. The U. S. Army lies, lies, lies!
When the full story about this comes out, I expect (but do not desire) to find out that the Army was 100% in the wrong; that they wrongfully caused more unnecessary death, and that, once again, they tried to lie their way out of it.

I hate having to think things like this about my country. And I hate Republicans for causing me to.
