But journalists in the hotel insisted there had been no Iraqi fire.

Like i said you exagerated the report to fit your needs..
You said and i quote "So how come
ALL the journalists in the hotel claimed that the US version was not possible. There were no Iraqi troops even near the hotel"
Both from the link you provided and what i personally heard from the reporters themselves when this incident took place on tv, they didnt "ALL" claim the u.s. version was not possible as you stated. Most didnt know what happened at all so your plain wrong.
Secondly , there WAS iraqi troops nearby i watched them firing rockets from apartment blocks on video shortly before.
This case is another OBVIOUS one, you dont make up facts because you dont like someone or their presence.
The tanks were being fired upon by rockets , they most likely looked up saw a camerman on a balcony and thought it was a rocket launcher, they asked for permission to fire, they got it and fired back.
Clearly an error in the command portion not the tank. Clearly a u.s. error , but nothing to suggest it was deliberate, absolutley no reason just like the italian case.
If she has something so important they would try to kill her " and fail " then why doesnt she just tell us.
Same with this case , if the journalists had been targets why? And in neither case why did they not accomplish the supposed tin hat conspiracy plot against journalists
