It's airing tomorrow night on international satellite tv. Not only about using white phosphorous on civilians, but also using the new MK77 napalm ordnance.

A US veteran of the Iraq war told RAI New correspondent Sigfrido Ranucci this: I received the order use caution because we had used white phosphorus on Fallujah. In military slag it is called 'Willy Pete'. Phosphorus burns the human body on contact--it even melts it right down to the bone.
RAI News 24's investigative story, Fallujah, The Concealed Massacre, will be broadcast tomorrow on RAI-3 and will contain not only eye-witness accounts by US military personnel but those from Fallujah residents. A rain of fire descended on the city. People who were exposed to those multicolored substance began to burn. We found people with bizarre wounds-their bodies burned but their clothes intact, relates Mohamad Tareq al-Deraji, a biologist and Fallujah resident.
I gathered accounts of the use of phosphorus and napalm from a few Fallujah refugees whom I met before being kidnapped, says Manifesto reporter Giuliana Sgrena, who was kidnapped in Fallujah last February, in a recorded interview. I wanted to get the story out, but my kidnappers would not permit it.
RAI News 24 will broadcast video and photographs taken in the Iraqi city during and after the November 2004 bombardment which prove that the US military, contrary to statements in a December 9 communiqué from the US Department of State, did not use phosphorus to illuminate enemy positions (which would have been legitimate) but instend dropped white phosphorus indiscriminately and in massive quantities on the city's neighborhoods.
Great.

i'm about 90% sure most of the kidnappings that have taken place in iraq were done by the cia trying to blame it on insurgents. it was an attempt to turn the iraqi ppl against coalition resistance. notice how there arten't many kidnappings anymore? thats becuz the tactic failed to work and the cia moved on...

It's pretty strange that 'terrorist kidnappers' would want to keep her from exposing US war crimes. It's also strange that our troops killed an Italian high intelligence official when he was rescuing her from the country.
But that doesn't mean there is a shred of evidence that western forces had her kidnapped - even if there is a motive.

A friend of mine thinks that Sgrena wasn't the target, but rather the man that was killed. I guess that was the third person whose release he'd negotiated.

That's a terrorist's justification freak.
Just because there is an underlying rationale for attacks on civilians, doesn't mean the civilians deserve it, or that it's justified. Just like we wouldn't be justified in doing it to Iraqi civilians, even if their government WERE behind 9/11.

You can't nuke a developed country without attacking civilians.
