US satellite recorded checkpoint shooting, shows speed of car: CBS
WASHINGTON -- A US satellite reportedly recorded a checkpoint shooting
in Iraq last month, enabling investigators to reconstruct how fast a
car carrying an Italian intelligence official and a freed hostage was
traveling when US troops opened fire.
The report, which aired Thursday on CBS News, said US investigators
concluded from the recording that the car was traveling at a speed of
more than 60 miles (96 km) per hour.
Giuliana Sgrena, who was taken hostage by terrorists while on
assignment in Iraq for communist newspaper "Il Manifesto," had claimed
the car was traveling at a normal speed of about 30 miles an hour when
the soldiers opened fire, wounding her and killing Nicola Calipari,
the Italian agent who had just secured her release from a month's
captivity.
US soldiers said at the time of the March 4 incident that the car
approached at a high rate of speed and that they fired only after it
failed to respond to hand signals, flashing bright lights, and warning
shots.
CBS, citing Pentagon officials, said the satellite recording enabled
investigators to reconstruct the event without having to rely on any
eyewitness accounts.
It said the soldiers manning the checkpoint first spotted the
approaching car when it was 137 yards (meters) away. By the time they
opened fire and brought the car to a halt, it was 46 yards (meters)
away. CBS said that happened in less than three seconds, which meant
the car was travelling at over 60 miles an hour towards the
checkpoint.

 shots.
Anche noi abbiamo gli autovelox, cosa credete. 
BTW: please train your soldiers on how to properly use Acrobat, so that the 
classified bits on the report remain as such. The public version of the 
report on the shooting is completely accessible and readable, names, data 
and facts. Sucker.

I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by. 


so what ?
Those soldiers should have been informed in advance that there was an 
operation in progress.
The fact that the car was running faster as declared has nothing to do with 
the fact that they fired it killing an innocent man.
By the way, next time please don't crosspost.

 and facts. Sucker.
Before tackling Acrobat, they should learn Word for Windows. I've been able
to recreate the source for such PDFs simply by 'censoring' the hidden text
with the text marker tool in Winword, using black as the background color.
