In Rome, journalist Giuliana Sgrena has been released from a
military hospital where she was being treated for a gunshot
wound she suffered when US forces shot up the car bringing her
to freedom after a month being held hostage in Iraq. The head of
Italy's Foreign Military Intelligence Nicola Calipari was killed
in the attack when he shielded Sgrena from the bullets.
Yesterday, Italian newspapers reported that the justice
minister has asked U.S. authorities to release the car so it can
be examined by Italian ballistics experts. The papers said the
request came after the U.S. command in Iraq reportedly blocked
two Italian policemen from examining the car.

Taking Aim at the Brand Bullies." She just met with
Giuliana Sgrena in Rome.
