There's a photo up on http://www.repubblica.it of the car that Giuliana Sgrena was travelling in. Here is is:
UPDATE: Here's a better photo:
I'm not really seeing any bullet holes. As a comparison, here's what Bonnie and Clyde's car looked like after they were ambushed:
See all those small, round holes, and the shattered and missing glass? That's where the bullets entered the car. Not quite the same, is it?

Italian television station Tg1 is running images of a car purported to be the one used by Giuliana Sgrena. If this is the car then it would contradict earlier reports that Sgrena's rescuers had used a truck. If accurate, the...

Below are the AP pictures of Giuliana Sgrena's car, the very same car that she claims was shot at "300 or 400 times." Jeepers! Three or four hundred shots by the elite and expert 3rd Infantry Division, and you have...

Laurence Simon offers a proposed additional question for the driver’s licensing exam in Italy:
You are approaching a checkpoint where there are armed troops waving flashlights and firing warning shots over your vehicle. You:
a) Stop
b) Speed up
c) Immediately make a U-turn and head for the nearest cafe for expresso and gelato
d) Crap your pants
to which I add:
e) Scream and waive like an Arab terrorist to further get the Americans’ attention
f) Proceed upwind from checkpoint, throw up hands to surrender and wait for U.S. troops to pass out
g) Surrender to anyone on road prior to hitting checkpoint, explaining that Italy has a fine tradition of surrendering in modern times commencing with Ethiopia in 1896
h) Play “My Way” by Frank Sinatra on car horn as you approach
i) Put on sunglasses to cut down the glare from the flashlights
…..you are free to add to the list

The description below the AP photos says, "The car in which Giuliana Sgrena and Nicholas Calipari travelled with American bullet holes. The images were transmitted from Tg1."

Everything about this story stinks. The only things that looks certain are that the US troops did nothing wrong, and that everything out of this Sgrena kook's mouth is a lie.

Yesterday, I made this post comparing Giuliana Sgrena's car to Bonnie and Clyde's car. Shortly after I posted it, Dr. Rusty Shackleford linked to me in this post.

Obviously something is being covered up. I don't think that there were 400 shots fired. I do think that the young troops could have handled the whole thing a lot better. Boo to shooting italian agents. Stupid 20 year old nobody.
