What Happened to the Ransom Money?

In the curious case of Giuliana Sgrena - the big question to be asked is what happened to the ransom money. Sgrena didn't use normal channels and she says she was kidnapped. She says 300-400 bullets were fired but her car shows little damage. Only one person was killed and isn't it convienient that it is government agent who could not have been part of any pre-arranged plot. Maybe he didn't want a share of the ransom?

It will be interesting to see what happens when the ballistic reports come in.

My guess is that many in the Italian press will be owning some apologies to the US military (not that those apologies would ever be forth coming).

This whole scenario reminds me of the plot from Christopher Walken's Suicide Kings.
