The New York Times > International > Middle East > Ex-Hostage's Italian Driver Ignored Warning, U.S. Says

Harshaw's Rule No. One (you never do it right the first time) strikes again:

The New York Times > International > Middle East > Ex-Hostage's Italian Driver Ignored Warning, U.S. Says: "It said the troops stationed at the checkpoint were on their first full day on shift there and 'lacked experience in issuing operational orders and in battle tracking security forces' at checkpoints."

The news report doesn't state how much experience the troops had otherwise. If green, then tension would be high.
