We’re not done with Giuliana Sgrena yet, because CNN has now published a translation of her latest article for the Stalinist newspaper Il Manifesto, in which she claims that shortly before the shooting incident her car was going so fast through “puddles” that they were “almost losing control”—in an area they knew was “heavily patrolled by US troops.”
She titled her article, in true communist style: ‘My truth.’
The car kept on the road, going under an underpass full of puddles and almost losing control to avoid them. We all incredibly laughed. It was liberating. Losing control of the car in a street full of water in Baghdad and maybe wind up in a bad car accident after all I had been through would really be a tale I would not be able to tell. Nicola Calipari sat next to me. The driver twice called the embassy and in Italy that we were heading towards the airport that I knew was heavily patrolled by U.S. troops. They told me that we were less than a kilometer away…when…I only remember fire. At that point, a rain of fire and bullets hit us, shutting up forever the cheerful voices of a few minutes earlier.
