Well, it is very obvious Giuliana Sgrena is using the tragic death of the intelligence officer to further her own anti-american agenda. She's a journalist for a communist newspaper, and she is well know for her fierce opposition to the Iraq war and American policies. She is suggesting that the US deliberately targeted her car because they oppose the way Italy readily pays huge ransoms for hostages. The word ABSURD just doesn't do justice to this belief, and I think it is shows questionable principles to use the death of one of her fellow countrymen to further her personal beliefs. And again, as a side note, readily paying ransoms for hostages only endangers everyone as it provides motivation for further kidnappings. Italians must be highly prized kidnap targets in the Iraqi terrorist circles.
