Giulana Sgrena has told yet another version of “her truth,” this time saying that “obviously” there could not have been any “guerillas” in the vicinity, and that even if Iraqi “guerillas” had been in the car with her, American troops wouldn’t have been justified in firing: Sgrena: “I Demand Answers from the Government.” (Hat tip: dfarmer.)

According to Sgrena, American troops are never justified in “shooting point blank” at a car at any time, but they do, nonetheless, shoot at cars every day for no reason at all.

Oh … and I guess it was a tank, again. (And judging from the looks of her car, it was firing spitballs.)

(AGI) - Rome, March 11 - “I want the government to investigate on what happened”, said Giuliana Sgrena, in an interview with Spanish TV broadcast by Sky TG24, her first ever since she was freed. “The government is looking at various accounts of the facts”, she said, “but my account coincides with the one provided by the car driver, who also survived. We demand concrete answers on what really happened. Obviously an inquiry commission will be set up. I do have faith in them. What happened was just terrible. Our questions need to be addressed. And not only by the Italian government, but by Mr Bush himself. Sure, we won’t come to the truth, but let’s hope that at least this time around, they do everything in their power to have a plausible account. The man who was killed was Nicola Calipari, one of Italy’s best secret services agents. His death has moved the country”. To this regard, she further added, “I don’t know whether (the US soldiers) did it on purpose. I just think their behaviour was unacceptable. And not just cuz I was in that car, but cuz Nicola was killed. We were in an area monitored by American troops, close to the airport. Obviously Iraqi guerrillas couldn’t get there, and even if there had been any of them in our car, the soldiers’ behaviour would still be unacceptable. You can’t shoot point blank on a car and on the people riding in it. We weren’t given any notice, nor were we told to stop. Had they told us to and had we refused to comply, then their reaction would have been explainable. But that just wasn’t the case. Similar episodes occur every day. Americans shoot at cars, for no reason. This time, though, they had no excuses. They should have known we were riding. That’s why I demand answers. I’d like to know why the US tank was not informed we were passing through. We didn’t even notice it”, she concluded.
