Freed Journalist Devoted to World’s Weak.

ROME - In a minute-long video, supporters of the captive Italian journalist Giuliana Sgrena summed up her career of defending the world’s have-nots with wrenching photos of her subjects — like an image of two Palestinian children standing in bombing rubble and making the peace sign.

The video, distributed last month to build support for Sgrena’s release from captivity in Iraq, began with a voiceover in Arabic: “My name is Giuliana Sgrena. For my whole life, I have fought and written on behalf of the weakest. I know the suffering of the Iraqi people.”

Sgrena, a 56-year-old journalist for the communist daily Il Manifesto, was freed Friday after being held for a month by unknown captors. The release was marred by an incident in which coalition troops fired on the car carrying her to the airport.

The reporter was wounded in the shoulder, and an Italian secret service agent was killed trying to protect her. One or two other agents were wounded, and one was reportedly in serious condition.

There is not a single word in this article on the US military’s side of the story.
