<Apparently by waving arms in a lit area, and by shining lights in a pattern normally used to tell cars to stop, and after that by fireing warning shots. > Warning shots into the vehicle! Anyway, you have your perception, I'll have mine, the Italians involved in being shot at will have theirs, as will the Italian investigators and as will the people in Iraq and as will everyone else around the world watching the processes. I don't suppose there is any photographic evidence, such as a vehicle shown approaching the poorly set up "checkpoint". Why do you think the driver ignored the waving arms? Not to mention the pattern of lights. Don't you think the presence and signals were obviously pathetic? Everyone knows that Americans are out of control crazy with their guns, from shooting down airliners, bombing the Chinese embassy in Belgrade to shooting their own sports stars not to mention civilian shootings of school mates, teachers and co-workers. I read that it was raining too which would have made seeing a patrol difficult, even if they did have waving hands. Maybe they looked like somebody catching a taxi on a wet night. Mqurice
