SACRAMENTO BEE FAILS TO MENTION EXCULPATORY EVIDENCE IN ITALIAN SHOOTING

Patterico noted that the LA Times edited out exculpatory evidence in the shooting death of the Italian in that road bloack incident involving Giuliana Sgrena. I checked the Sacramento Bee online edition and it merely has a story from the AP on the newly released report. Noticeably absent is any mention of the satellite evidence iestablishing that the car was going about 60 mph. This reveals that Sgrena was lying when she stated that the car was going no more than 30 mph. She was also lying when she said that the car was showered with "300-400 bullets." The report indicates that the soldiers fired 2-3 short bursts of gunfire. I don't expect the Bee to give the soldiers much credit in their editoial pages either.

UPDATE: Doubts about whether the speed of a vehicle can be measured accurately at Wizbang.

UPDATE: AFP reports that there is in fact satellite evidence.
