Confused Americans for Truth - The Giuliana Sgrena Story
Wizbang has posted an article about the Giuliana Sgrena incident.
For those unfamiliar with the story, Ms. Sgrena, is a reporter for an Italian Communist newspaper who was captured by a terrorist group operating in Iraq. The terrorists subsequently released her under circumstances that are not entirely clear. On her way home, her car was shot at by U.S. soldiers, as a result of which an Italian Secret Service agent was killed and Ms. Sgrena was wounded.
Jay Tea asserts that Ms. Sgrena must be exaggerating her story, because she claims she was greeted by a hail of somewhere between 200 to 300 bullets, and that if this were truly the case, the results would have been a lot worse than one death and an injury.
I think the problem here is that most people don't know there are two kinds of machine guns. The military normally uses R machine guns. These are extremely deadly devices that shred anything they hit. Apparently, the soldiers at the checkpoint were using PG-13 machine guns. As any movie-goer will tell you, these can't hit the broad side of a barn at close range.
I hope this new information enables people to give this story the credence it deserves.
Respectfully submitted
