#1 How ironic is that? An Italian 'journalist', driven by an Italian agent, tries to run a roadblock in Baghdad, and gets shot by Mario from da Bronx.

#2 This is so obviously politicized. There are ROEs. Get used to it. It's how you fight a war. I'm sure the guy followed the ROEs to the best of his ability. I'm sure the guy didn't wake up that morning and think "I'm going to kill me some innocents!". Murder won't fly in a million years. The only question I have is how well marked the checkpoint was. Any details, anyone? If it was well marked, they should put the Italians up for the same charges they are trying to dump on this guy, and stop trying to divert attention from the truth.

#5 Anyone ever investigate how a big chunk of the ransom (that Italy said they didn't pay) ended up in Sgrena's possession after she was "rescued"?
