"and that the Italians had advised the Americans they were carrying diplomatic personnel." If true, that would be compelling evidence on the Italian side that the US screwed up big time. I don't buy the argument that US forces were gunning for her, though. I don't either.......I had figured from the get go that the incident was due to trigger happy soldiers who underneath were scared.........and understandably so. Isn't this the same road that that company charges 35k for a ride? However, to issue a report that so disrespects an ally, gives Italy no choice but to pull out of Iraq. Another step in the transformation to becoming a rogue nation. We would have been better to admit to a screw up and apologize profusely. Instead, typical of the Bush administration, we are getting in that place of never admitting when we are wrong. Wasn't it long after the incident that the Pentagon admitted Tillman from the NFL had been killed by friendly fire? American credibility is so shot that in the future when we are not guilty of something everyone will assume we are. ted
