Red Alert: Where is the benefit of the doubt?


iconNo doubt you've heard about the Italian Journalist who is claiming that they were just driving along minding their own business, when American troops (and tanks) deliberately shot at her. (Somewhere Eason Jordan is smiling).

What I'm not hearing very much is that she works for an anti-American, anti-capitalist, communist news outlet (other than CNN). That doesn't make her a de facto liar, but when it comes to credibility I think I'll give the benefit of the doubt to American troops over a two-bit pinko reporter.

But maybe that's just me.

Il Manefesto and yes it is a commie inspired and owned news paper. Why on earth would our troops NOT shoot up a rapidly advancing car that ignored verbal,hand signs,and warning shots to stop. Duh....lets lets this car get real close sargent and see how many of our guys get killed by this car bomb. Not freakin likely .Our military is the finest trained force in the world and in this situation are above reproach.

Another reason to doubt - how many people that the American military *deliberately* shoot at live to tell the tale?

"...anti-American, anti-capitalist, communist news outlet (other than CNN)."

Excellent shooting from the hip.

"...a two-bit pinko reporter."

How much is that in Euros?

If our troops were targeting her, she'd be dead.

Believe it or not, I actually heard on CNN of all networks, that Sgrena was indeed employed by a commie rag, and that what she said about the incident maybe shouldn't be taken at face value. Wonders never cease.
