i don't blindly support my country when they screw up, but I guess this one didn't seem to be a biggie to me.
Let's start with the journalist, taking a risky task by going over to a war torn country, in the line of fire, covering the news.
Next, we have her hostage situation, where it could be the last she's ever heard of.
Finally, she is released and in transit to the airport is mistaken for hostile or enemy target.
Seems like maybe there's more to be questioning than just whether the soldiers were randomly shooting at an unknown vehicle. Why wasn't this coordinate with military forces? Or maybe at least alerted them with a sign on the door "Hi, rescued italian journalist, don't shoot." Maybe the fault also lies elsewhere, not just with the big bad cowboy Americans in Iraq...
