Many apparently innocent Iraqis have been killed or injured at American checkpoints by soldiers wary that second's hesitation can mean death; accounts of incidents vary widely, with American command emphasizing aspects of drivers' behavior that aroused legitimate concerns, and survivors saying they were doing nothing threatening; American and Iraqi officials say they have no figures on such casualties, or on far higher number of civilian deaths in fighting that began with American-led invasion nearly two years ago; military says it takes many precautions to ensure safety of civiilans, but refuses to describe engagement rules in detail, citing need to maintain secrecy over how it responds to threat of car bombs; in incident involving Italian journalist Giuliana Sgrena, American military claims it fired warning shots before firing into her car, wounding her and killing Italian intelligence officer; Sgrena claims there was no warning before shots were fired; many Iraqis also tell of being fired on with little or no warning; photo (M)
