And here I thought we didn't want to negotiate because that'd only encourage them... No, of course it stands to reason that we'd like more innocents to die. Sure.

Whatever. I mean, our fair journalist is entitled to her own opinion, but I do think she's more than a little "off" in her assessment. Yes, the soldiers would fire on a speeding car coming to the checkpoint, and yes, the driver probably didn't think how that would be interpreted. It really is a mess-up that really isn't anybody in particular's fault. Bad situation all 'round.
