Here are the links again: mypetjawa.mu.nu wizbangblog.com The bloggers say what you do, that measuring speed is very simple. They question the likelihood that a satellite was either a) taking still pictures of the car in question a second or two apart or b) doing livestream video of the car. Jawa's take: Yes, Sgrena's car was speeding, but can satellite images really show that? Ok, since The Jawa Report has been Sgrena debunking central since, well, since way before debunking Giuliana Sgrena became a popular sport, I'm all on board with the CBS report that vindicates what American soldiers have been saying all along--Sgrena's car was speeding. But, I have this lingering feeling that the alleged satellite images that CBS claims proves the U.S. version of the story are bogus. Why? Well, because in order to calculate speed the satellite would have needed to take two seperate still images of the car's route within seconds of each other. That's how you measure speed. Speed = Distance x Time. In order to measure distance you need a start and a finish point. That, or you're telling me that the CIA is now using live-image streaming from their satellites. And if the latter is the case then that satellite just happened to be broadcasting images of a road on the outskirts of Baghdad? At the very moment when Sgrena's car is speeding toward a checkpoint? I'm sorry, this is just way too far-fetched to believe. As noted here at least umpteen bajillion times, Giuliana Sgrena is a serial liar who's sole purpose in life is to discredit the United States and who will do anything or say anything to that end. A further statement from CBS's Pentagon source or independent corroboration would be useful here.
