>> Fwiw, there was a TV news report that stated the van was moving 40 to 50 mph towards the checkpoint. Could be the reason why they didn't get shots off sooner...bwdik All that is possible. I'm not saying the US soldier woke up in the morning saying to himself "I'm gonna kill some women and children today". This is the post I was responding to. Without any attempt to find out what happened. He and his responder is demonizing the victims in order to say, "Oh, well, they deserved it." and through that process to justify the killing of the next tens of thousands Iraqis that is sure to follow. Message 18780054 "I was in meetings into early evening and then commuted home. I just started watching the coverage and now all thats talked about is that horrible "accident" with a car full of women and children were running a roadblock. I will bet you a Bud against a Molson that there was a fedayeen driver who did this as a psychological suicide bomb hoping for this result. If my guess is correct, they are the worse scum alive. Bet you the bastard jumped out and perhaps even got away. Mike"
