Italians Reportedly Think Reporter Shot On Purpose

Now our military is shooting reporters because they were kidnapped and then released after a ransom was paid. Yep, that's what is being reported now. Some people in Italy seem to think that our national policies (if they are really our national policies) have trickled down to the soldiers in the field. The idea that our troops would shoot at the Italian reporter who was freed the other day is absurd. And further, the idea that soldiers guarding a check point would have been given orders to shoot her is even more ridiculous. That would mean that the description of the vehicle would have been given to all possible soldiers who might be on checkpoint duty, with orders to kill the occupants. If that were true, why didn't they finish her off? The whole idea is a joke.
I guess the Italians are pissed off because we aren't letting them do more fighting in Iraq.
Heh Heh Heh.

I'll be back
