Besides all the commotion by the international community regarding the issues in Lebanon, there's also been some serious attacks going on in Iraq. It's terrible the constant bombings and firefights, whoever the victims and aggressors are.

The wounding of female Italian journalist Giuliana Sgrena has been controversial. It was also tragic that an Italian agent, who helped secure her release, was killed by US forces, and now, it's disturbing that there's so much confusion on the circumstances of that incident.
This brings up a point, that if even over a friendly fire incident involving nationals of a close US ally-Italy, the US can't even clear up the truth, then in incidents involving Iraqis, how can the US version be any more credible.
