On The Road To Victory

Seems that shooting of an Italian journalist in Iraq resulted from additional checkpoints that were created to protect His Excellency, John D. Negroponte, who was en route to a dinner engagement with the American general in charge of military operations in Iraq, stationed at "Camp Victory." The shooting took place about an hour and twenty-five minutes or so after Negroponte passed, so it's not clear why the checkpoint was still there. As the people of Honduras know all too well, being in a country where Negroponte is ambassador can be hazardous to your health.
