Also, while I disagree with the war in Iraq, it is a war zone, and civilian conditions do not apply. I don't think the military wanted people to get around the road block, it might cause the deaths of American soldiers or innocent Iraqi civilians. Also, this incident did not take place in Italy, where is Italy's authority?

I'm not saying it isn't tragic, I'm not saying the war is right, all I'm saying is that people that voluntarily go into a war zone take their lives into their own hands. And, having been in the ARmy, I prefer to defer to the judgment of the man on the scene rather than some insulated jurist with an agenda. Or even without one. Just my opinion
