U.S. TROOPS MISTAKENLY SHOOT GIULIANA SGRENA

Italian hostage Giuliana Sgrena has been released, but according to Reuters, "U.S. forces mistakenly opened fire on the convoy taking her to safety, wounding her and killing an Italian secret service agent." The Jawa Report is all over the story.

Update: Reader Greg points out that the Reuters story left out an important part of the story: turns out the car was speeding toward a checkpoint, and, as Greg notes, "we all know how the military loves that."

More from the Jawa Report:

Sgrena's vehicle was warned to stop but continued speeding toward a US checkpoint on a road which has been the scene of frequent terrorist attacks. US soldiers signaled for the car to stop, flashed lights at it, and then fired warning shots at the vehicle before opening fire on the car. The troops then shot the car's engine block, not the passengers. The car spun out of control. It was the car accident which killed one occupant and wounded Sgrena.

I expect we'll soon hear Eason Jordan say the U.S. military is targeting hostages.
