re: Our trigger happy troops do it again...
The U.S. military sources said Cordone's car was shot at after it repeatedly tried to overtake a U.S. convoy near Tikrit, Saddam's hometown.
Soldiers repeatedly warned the car not to overtake, the sources said, and opened fire when they thought the vehicle was trying to ram them.
DUH.
Key words - "repeatedly," "near Tikrit," "repeatedly warned,"
(I am not the other Peter. I hope there is no confusion.)
