HER initial claim is that the US military was TRYING TO ASSASSINATE her. We can discuss all day that Bush is wrong, war in Iraq is wrong etc etc etc... and I would probably agree with most... but the claim that they open fired on the car to kill her, is stupid. If they wanted to kill her, she would be dead as would be all occupants in the car. If they were trying to kill her because she had some compromising materials on the US Military, people are forgetting that she still needs permission of the US to leave the country and must go through Customs and Passport control and there is ample opportunity to search them, their bags and seize anything they want without opening fire on a car in travel and killing its foreign occupants. Thats just a dumb thing to suggest... and even dumber to believe.
Instead, one guy in the car was shot by 1 stray bullet while she and 3 passengers are fine. How does a group of Marines you fire into a car at close range with automatic weapons with the intention of killing the occupants and miraculously miss everyone with the exception of 1 shot? Can't happen.
Meanwhile, their tiny, unknown italian communist newspaper is enjoying more exposure in a few days than it would have in the next 50 years... I am sure they regret that as well.
