| #15 The US soldiers must have thrown them at them (by hand)...... aka the movie Hot Shots |

| #14 Well, the "handfuls of bullets" must have come through the window or (I guess) they would have been fragments instead of bullets. What I can't work out is how they came through the open window, lost all their energy, dropped onto the seats next to Ms. Sgrena, and immediately cooled down so that Ms. Sgrena could pick them up. How do nano-bullets work? |

| #13 "handfuls of bullets" Did one of the Italian agents drop a box of cartridges? |

| #10 Story is here: PIER SCOLARI (translated): I have heard it said that the Americans signalled many times to the car to stop, but Giuliana told me she didn't see anything. They were driving calmly. They had already passed many checkpoints, therefore everybody had been informed. They phoned and warned that they were going to the airport. Suddenly as they were talking to each other without any signal a flashlight was switched on and three or four hundred bullets were shot towards the car. Giuliana told me she collected handfuls of bullets on the seats. They must have all come in through the open window and landed on the seat. |

| #9 In one version of her story that I've seen (sorry, I don't have a link) Ms. Sgrena picked bullets "by the handful" up off the seat. That's a neat trick if you can do it. |

| #8 With respect to posts 2 & 3, is this car for sale? I am looking for cheap beater to give to my son and I think this one will be very cheap. Not to diminish the big lie that the Commie Sgrena is spreading, but counting bullets while they are fired at you is very hard. The Guys at the checkpoint should have an exact number because they would have turned in the spent magazines over to investigators. You may noticed from all the imbed footage during the war, there are few times that people fire their weapons at full auto. If they had fired at full auto there would be bullet holes all over the front end of the car and not just a broken windshield and Ms Sgrena would probably be dead. |

| #7 It wasn't a kidnapping, it was a cover to funnel funds to the butchers of innocent women and children in Iraq, the terrorist. Her buddies and fellow hate-America allies. |

| #6 Gee... The windshield is intact (except for one hole). How did those 'handfuls of bullets' get in the car? She is a liar. This brings the whole 'kidnapping' into question. |

| #5 Aside from the meager damage compared to the shots-fired claims, why are they pointing out damage to the side of the car when the car was approaching a checkpoint? Wouldn't that be mostly frontal damage? |

| #4 This is the second picture I've seen. This photo is so obscured that you can almost see whatever it is you want to see. But, what's great about this photo is that it confirms it is the same car that was pictured more clearly on rantburg (and elsewhere). I thought the tin-foil crowd would just deny that car was the actual one. It's like the Rather fakes - seeing for yourself, you really get a sense of just how deranged Sgrena is. Give that girl a shovel. When the Italians get off their anti-American bender, they gonna wake up to be embarrassed by their behavior. |

| #3 I've bought cars in worse shape than this. |

| #2 Hell, we have parked cars at the Butte in Mat-Su valley that look like swiss cheese compared to this rig. This car may have a few strategic rounds through the grille, my guess. When that so-called Italian hostage chick uses the 400 bullets hyperbole trick, it dilutes her credibility big time. People are not buying this propaganda BS like they used to. Even al Jazz's stuff is starting to produce a strong "Ho Humm." |

| #1 Nano weapons...yeah, that's it! Nano bullets tore the car to shreds without doing any apparent damage. |
