Cutting to the Truth – Shooting Nicola
According to the AP (courtesy of the Captains Quarters) the Italian Generals did or did not notify the US military of the “hostage rescue”. Sgrena’s story changes yet again.
Looked at from the very beginning, it’s clear the Italians are making up the story in retrospect. As for Sgrena, she has all the credibility of Michael Jackson denying his pedophilia.
The real truth according to Occam:
1. The Italians didn’t tell the Americans they were attempting to free Sgrena for fear we would prevent them from doing this.
2. Sgrena wasn’t kidnapped, and Calipari was shot to keep him from stating this to his superiors.
Given the complexity of the lies and denials coming out of Italy and Sgrena’s mouth, these two truths fulfill the requirements of Occam’s Razor and are therefore, most likely the truth.
