Simple logic.
They were driving to the airport, the most dangerous road of all Baghdad ( according to CNN). So , yes they drive fast; no time to pick flowers or take a leak ....
It is near 9:00 PM . So dark. It seems that that checkpoint, according again to CNN, was not a "fixed" one, but an improvised one... so not on the map ...
That " check point" could have been one of " insurgents - freedom fighters ".... The bullets shot also could have been not friendly ... They don't have the US flag on them and dont sing " Freedom" on their way to the target ....
It is not the first time that US trops kills either civilians or journalists or , In Afghanistan, Canadian soldiers ...
So think a bit.
