Although one would never know it by looking at the CNN site, there's good news and bad news from Iraq. The good news is the Italian reporter Giuliana Sgrena was freed by her kidnappers. The bad news is that a few hours later she was shot ....by the Americans. She wasn't killed - although the Italian chief of special services in Iraq Nicola Calipari was less fortunate - and she now refuses to exclude the possibility that the attack was not an accident. http://www.liberation.fr/page.php?Article=280211 Michael Chase (goya@xxxxxxxxxxx) CNRS UPR 76 7, rue Guy Moquet Villejuif 94801 France ------------------------------------------------------------------ To change your Lit-Ideas settings (subscribe/unsub, vacation on/off, digest on/off), visit www.andreas.com/faq-lit-ideas.html
