and that they were expected by both the Italians and Americans

How would the American soldiers have known that this particular car was the one with these specific Italians in it.

There wasn't exactly a big sign on the car saying "here is the release Italian hostage", or "in this car there is a writer for the communist newspaper Il Manifesto". If you think the car was actually tracked then you don't have a few soldiers taking out a journalist but an organized conspiracy, which is even less likely.

I think its a case of a woman reasonably being pissed for being shot at, plus having a dislike for the fact that American soldiers are in Iraq in the first place, letting her emotion and bias take over and deciding that the Americans where trying to kill her.
