Denver Papers Hide Alleged Existence of Satellite Recording

Apparently the L.A. Times is not the only paper to hide the alleged existence of a satellite recording of the Sgrena/Calipari shooting. Dave Kopel writes:

Both the Rocky Mountain News and the Post have run many stories on Giuliana Sgrena, the Italian Communist journalist whose automobile was fired on by American soldiers on March 3, killing her driver, as the car was speeding past an American checkpoint.

Sgrena had just been released from captivity by Iraqi terrorists at the time of the incident.

As reported by CBS News on April 28 and by Agence France-Presse the next day, U.S. satellite photos show the Sgrena’s vehicle was traveling at 60 mph – although she has asserted that car was going only 30 mph. Unfortunately, neither Denver paper has reported this important fact in their recent Sgrena stories, even though her false statement casts serious doubt on the vehemently anti-American Sgrena’s claims about the rest of the incident.

I’m sure that there are other papers that failed to report this fact as well . . .

Meanwhile, still no word from the “Readers’ Representative” in response to my query about the matter, though it has been almost a week.
