You know, the Italian journalist who was kidnapped for a month, then after being freed, was shot at by American soldiers at a checkpoint, resulting in the death of an Italian secret service agent? The one about whom there are rumors that she faked her kidnapping. Also, there are rumors that the Italians paid $6 million in ransom (big no-no there). Well, if you haven't heard, Instapundit has a good roundup.

I have only one relevant thing to add to the discussion: if American troops had genuinely, deliberately targeted Giuliana Sgrena... she would be dead right now. Not yammering on about it on Italian TV. Not changing her story to suit circumstances. Not blaming it all on Silvio Berlesconi. Dead. As a door nail.
