    Heres a thought you might wanna think about..

    Journalists KNOW they are playing russian roulette by even being in the middle of a war without a gun.

    If you dont want your journalists killed , try not sending them into a war.

      Another US cover up for killing non-embedded (journalists that don't just write what the US wants then to write) journalists.

      If you add the US prison scandals in Afghanistan, Guantanamo and Iraq it seems like USA is the new USSR.
      You said "ALL the journalists in the hotel claimed that the US version was not possible. How many journalists were in the hotel? How do you know what "ALL" the journalists said?

      Who made the claim that "Iraqi troops"...which is indicative of uniformed troops...fired upon the troops on the ground. How could "ALL" or any of the journalists know if the troops on the ground were fired upon...since they were in the hotel and not with the troops on the ground. How could "ALL" of the journalists be in the same room that the troops received fire from...etc. etc. etc.

      The boots on the ground said they received fire...and the tank commander was told to return the fire...no more than that...period.

      What prison scandals are you referring to. The ones that the US military brought to the forefront in the first place. The ones where the majoritive of those that were prosecuted plead guilty and did not even claim that they were ordered to do what they were charged with...or the ones that could not present a single person that ordered them to do what they were charged with. Or are you referring to the ones where accusations have been made but no proof has been presented.

      Buy a fucking clue.
      When you're running down my country hoss...you're walking on the fighting side of me!

          True that.

          Besides what is this like the 8th thread about the exact same thing? We have a bunch of people repeating themselves.

                well duh... it's a war. Can't take it? Go and do some reporting from the local playground (although kids can be cruel to)

                My best bet is that she has been informed by her kidnappers what the real reason behind 9/11 was and that bush and secret services knew it was comming. Seriously I'm 100% sure she will never open her mouth and if she does it will be a good laugh.

                American journalism isn't the most objective one but most of European reporters aren't objective aswell. Almost every newschannel in the world tells what their audience wants. They need viewers to get the commercials sold to keep the channel going...

                      and we somehow managed to not kill her, instead treating her and releasing her from a military hospital totally fine.

                          I guess thats why a coalition member was the one to break the news about the ransom , and not the italian commies.

                          Do you think this lady uses her brain from time to time. If the usa didnt want to let people know about the ransom , why were they the ones to tell them media. If she really felt that was the reason why did she not say that. She says it now AFTER we already know about the ransom..

                            See? That's the difference. Apperently US media are saying there was a ransom paid while European media are saying that the us will never agree with a ransom.
                            I must ad that she told this yesterday to a french newspaper. So maybe she said it before the coalition member? don't know, don't care. But paying a ransom in cases like this is the most stupid thing possible:
                            a/ you financially support terrortistic networks
                            b/ you bring crazy ideas to earn some money in deperate peoples heads (especially when they have just lost their house, job, everything they owed because of a war)

                              it was said in the early reports that ITALY paid a $1,000,000.00 ransom... not the US.

                                "Giuliana had informations and the US military didn't want her alive", said Sgrena's husband and workmate.

                                "They were 700 meters (yards) from the airport, which means that they had passed all checkpoints."

                                The shooting late Friday was witnessed by Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's office which was on the phone with one of the secret service agents, said Scolari. "Then the US military silenced the cellphones," he charged. (More ..)

                                Shit, here we go again. These quotes are among the first that came out about the situation, and this version of events was toned down by Sgrena herself:

                                http://www.gofuckyourself.com/showthread.php?t=440878

                                And lets not forget that turkishpress.com is every bit as suspect as American press outlets, as they will side with Muslim interests. That's not an accusation, but it's at least as valid as your point.

                                In the future try to keep up, will you?

                                      Thats what I said: US didn't agree
                                      but oh wait...pieces of the puzzle are all falling in place now....
                                      Us didn't agree with Italy paying the ransom and to show Italy who's in charge they tried to kill her but messed up!

                                      Crazy bitch thinks that her arse is the center of the universe.

They told me that we were less than a kilometer away...when...I only remember fire. At that point, a rain of fire and bullets hit us, shutting up forever the cheerful voices of a few minutes earlier.
                                        She doesn't say anything here one way or another as to what they were approaching. Poor translation? I really want to hear a detailed account from her driver. He would be the only one alive who could state categorically whether or not they were approaching either a patrol or checkpoint. So far I haven't seen anything of the kind. Does anyone have a link to a detailed account of his story?
