- "The US soldiers prevented first aid for several
minutes and prevented anyone from coming near the car", said Pier
Scolari as he entered Celio (military) hospital. "Giuliana had had
information that the USA wouldn't let her return home alive.
-
- Giuliana Sgrena and wounded Italian military intel agent
have been interviewed by Italian magistrate... after he left she spoke
with press, said it was a PATROL not a checkpoint - suddenly found
themselves
in that shot at them, shot immediately with no warning whatsoever, instant
massive hail of bullets and no chance to communicate - confirms the car
was NOT speeding, was travelling at slowish normal speed.
-
- "Non era un check point, ma una pattuglia che ha
sparato appena dopo averci illuminato con un faro. Non si è capita
la provenienza dei proiettili, precedentemente non avevamo incontrato posti
di blocco".
-
- " IT WAS NOT A CHECKPOINT BUT A PATROL THAT SHOT
AT US IMMEDIATELY AFTER HAVING TURNED A LIGHT ON US. WE COULDN?T UNDERSTAND
WHERE THE BULLETS WERE COMING FROM, BEFORE THAT WE HADN'T ENCOUNTERED ANY
CHECKPOINTS" --Giuliana Sgrena

- To give an idea of the climate here, this is today's
front page on Il Manifesto - HUGE headlines:
-
- Giuliana Sgrena è libera.
- Gli americani sparano.
- Assassinato il suo liberatore.
- Si chiamava Nicola Calipari
-
- Translation:
- Giuliana Sgrena is free.
- The Americans shoot,
- murdering her liberator.
- His name was Nicola Calipari.
-
- In a first interview, Giuliana has said her kidnappers
never mistreated her - said the WORST moment of her whole experience was
the shooting and CALIPARI'S death ... ("in her arms" ...as he
was lying on top of her, shielding her with his body during the
shooting-massacre,
died as she was clutching him... <icon_cry.gif )
-
- So, if the US continues to "justify" these
murders saying it was basically "all the victims' fault" as usual
- i.e. unless they seriously eat crow, abjectly go down on bended knees
which means at v. least court-martialing their checkpoint murder-squad
- think they will soon be saying bye-bye to Italian
"collaboration"!!

- Latest from Giuliana's partner Scolari (from La
Repubblica.it)

- 14:59 Scolari: "Militari Usa hanno impedito i
soccorsi"
"I militari Usa hanno impedito i soccorsi per alcuni minuti e hanno
impedito che chiunque si avvicinasse all'auto". Lo ha detto Pier
Scolari
entrando all'ospedale del Celio. "Giuliana aveva avuto delle
informazioni
secondo le quali gli Usa non l'avrebbero lasciata tornare viva a casa.
Il governo ha l'obbligo di fare luce e gli Usa devono avere il coraggio
di dire che in Iraq siamo in mano a dei ragazzini", ha aggiunto
Scolari.

- US Soldiers Prevented First Aid.
-
- "The US soldiers prevented first aid for several
minutes and prevented anyone from coming near the car", said Pier
Scolari as he entered Celio (military) hospital. "Giuliana had had
information that the USA wouldn't let her return home alive. The Government
must cast light on what happened and the USA must have the courage to say
that in Iraq we are in the hands of teenagers", he added.

- 14:56 Scolari: "Giuliana ha raccolto manciate di
proiettili"
-
- "Giuliana ha raccolto decine di proiettili, a
manciate,
erano tutti sul sedile dopo la sparatoria". Lo ha detto Pier Scolari,
aggiungendo che "Calipari aveva fatto quella strada tantissime volte
e quindi si potrebbe pensare male: che gli americani non volevano il lieto
fine. Questo è un motivo buono per andare via
dall'Iraq".
-
- "Giuliana has collected handfuls of bullets"
"Giuliana collected dozens of bullets, by the handful, they were all
on the carseat after the shooting", said Pier Scolari, adding that
"Calipari had travelled along that road a great many times, so there
is reason to suspect foul play: that the Americans didn't want the happy
ending. This is a good reason to leave Iraq".
-
- CNN's statement that "Sgrena's partner said he could
not fault the U.S. soldiers, telling Reuters they were probably
"scared
boys," and the blame lay with those who had sent them to Iraq."
is an outright LIE: what he is actually saying is a helluva-lot less
"convenient"
- he's calling the US military who shot at the car CRAZY TRIGGER-HAPPY
LUNATICS, says they fired over 400 shots, attack lasted several minutes.
Calling Calipari's death a MURDER, maybe a deliberate AMBUSH... says could
have been a deliberate US assassination-attempt to stop Giuliana telling
the truth about Fallujah!! Denies ANY attempt to warn car before opening
fire. Confirms CAR WAS DRIVING SLOWLY, US FORCES HAD BEEN FULLY INFORMED
THROUGH PROPER CHANNELS, ITALIAN MILITARY WERE WAITING FOR GIULIANA AT
AIRPORT.
-
- So CNN, is lying through its teeth! DOES NOT "look
good" here that US is trying to justify and cast blame on victims.
Also NOT even true that Italy is "celebrating" Giuliana's
release..
all release-celebrations have been cancelled due to the shooting,
Calipari's
coffin will be greeted by heads of state, big state funeral - that's
national
mourning not "celebration", duh - both right and left grieved
and furious, big big diplomatic tension -same climate throughout press
and TV.
