According to:

The U.S. is apparently still refusing to allow the Italians to inspect
the car Giuliana Sgrena was riding in when she was shot:
"Another point of contention is that American authorities have refused
to allow Italian investigators to examine the Toyota Corolla, the
newspapers said."
If this alone is not a de facto admission of guilt, then nothing is!
(Not to mention the obscene arrogance of the U.S. again on display for
the whole world to see).
Also suspicious is the apparent fact that the checkpoint was
"temporary" (Just for one special night maybe? Maybe placed where
experienced people wouldn't expect it?):
"Soldiers from the New York-based 69th Infantry Regiment were guarding
a temporary checkpoint on the airport road in Baghdad when a car
carrying freed hostage Giuliana Sgrena approached..."
Lastly, the following raises some more questions:
"NBC News reported Wednesday night that the investigation found that
U.S. soldiers flashed warning lights at 130 yards out from the
checkpoint, fired warning shots at 90 yards and opened fire when it was
65 yards away, a time span of just four seconds.
To the extent this is true, it seems the car was only moving at about
33 mph. Would that be considered "high speed" as the U.S. was claiming?
In any case, the flashing of warning lights, the shooting of warning
shots and the firing of a volley of shots into the car supposedly took
only four seconds. Hmmm. I wonder how long the warning lights were
flashed? One second maybe?
Of course the most obvious question is:
Where, in relation to the car, were the people who supposedly flashed
the lights, fired the warning shots, and then shot the passengers?
Second, why was the driver apparently not targeted?
It seems as if the assassination team must have been deliberately
placed off to the side, probably not within the driver's field of view.
A situation contrived for "plausible deniability".
To the extent any warning was actually provided the victims in the
first place, this would explain why the victims didn't see any warning
signs, and why the U.S. government doesn't want the car examined.
