Photos of the Italian journalist's car? Anyone seen them/have a link?
Someone just claimed to have seen photos of the car which indicate that only "10 or 20" bullets were fired, all into the engine block.

In all the multitude of threads on this subject, has anyone seen such a photo?

1. Saw a thread
this morning that said the car was either "lost" or "unavailable" to back up either story......

2. That was my understanding, too
However, this person claims to have seen photos of it.

Sounded like bullshit, which is why I asked.

27. Until I hear about it
from the Italian government I won't believe anything that comes from anybody associated with the Bush administration.

35. I'm not so sure I would believe the Italian government, either
Since Sgrena has already been "warned" not to say the wrong thing.

6. Not to worry. They are busy at Langley making a replica
of this car, so it can be investigated.

11. In fact, I thought perhaps they already had
And that was the photo being referenced.

But it seems Bluebear has found it. ;-)

7. That sounds as plausible as "losing" such a vital piece of evidence

28. One thing
I don't get is this. If they really did lose the car how? If the US was really wanting to clear it's name with this situation wouldn't they do everything they could to protect it to show how many bulletts were actually shot in the car?

9. I think that would be considered calling out?
So I'm not sure I should post it.

I really just thought that perhaps there was something that I missed.

13. That was the only information I had, too
The AP tried to see it on Saturday, and the military suddenly couldn't find it.

12. Bush's personal Army doesn't like to leave
evidence lying around after a failed (or "catastrophically successful"?) hit...

15. Well. they "lost" the car, but...
I've been wondering where the "400 bullets" came from.

Who said there were 400 bullets? Did anyone actually count them?

All in the back of the car, too.

Fascinating.

24. Excellent Point
If the car is missing, there isn't any evidence for either side of the argument.

Where did they get the "400 bullet holes" comment anyway?

23. I really thought that was what the person claimed to have seen
And I wouldn't be at all surprised if your scenario becomes reality.

25. Okay, has anyone seen a VIDEO? An "AP video," to be precise?
And where have I heard this talk about a video before? Hmmmmm.

29. It's still in production...something about a strike in Ireland with the
grips or something.

Trailers will be out in a week or so with the full version opening by July 4th!!!

33. How bizarre
That car looks like it hit something--and where did the bullets that hit the passengers enter the vehicle? And why do those passengers recall a "hail of gunfire?"

I do hope the Italian prosecutors will be permitted to examine it thoroughly.

That's really what I was thinking, but I didn't want to hear the tinfoil hat accusations!

Edited to add that I am really stunned speechless at the brazen disinformation that passes for journalism these days.

Unfuckingbelievable.

40. Indeed it does
One wonders where that person gets his information--surely not those same rightwing blogs that faked this photo?
