US troops fire at freed hostage
It took only one friendly fire incident for the Canadians to forgo any future military cooperation with the US. I wonder if the Italians will do the same?

This was not friendly fire. It may have been tragic, but it was not a mistake. It was U.S. soldiers doing their jobs. See Still Another Tragic Example of AP Reporting

Well, Ms Sgrena certainly doesn't think it was friendly fire.
And if US troops "doing their jobs" necessarily involves shooting their allies, then I think those allies are more than entitled to reconsider their participation, neh?
