U.S. troops accused of rape and murder

MrBrian

HIDEOUS hints of the desperate, dying moments of a young Iraqi woman have emerged in court documents which charged a 21-year-old ex-US army private of her rape and murder.

The soldier, 101st Airborne veteran Steven Green, also faces charges of shootingthree of her relatives, in a murky, and apparently horrific night of terror and death in war-torn Iraq in mid-March.

The US media and international media have chronicled the flurry of allegations of atrocities against US soldiers in rich detail, in incidents like the Abu Ghraib scandal, and alleged Haditha massacre.

But allegations contained in court documents accompanying the charges against Green were the most grisly and detailed allegations of misconduct yet

He spent time with comrades on the evening of March 11, drinking, and talking about having sex with a young Iraqi civilian who lived with her family about 200m away, prosecutors alleged.

Then, according to an affidavit which accompanied a warrant for Green's arrest, they changed into dark clothes and burst in on the house.

Green "covered his face with a brown t-shirt" according to one identified soldier who allegedly went to the house with Green and two others and who was cited in the document.

The FBI affidavit claims Green herded an adult male, an adult woman and a female child into a bedroom - before gunshots were heard

"I just killed them. All are dead," Green is alleged to have told his comrades.

The young woman's terrible final moments can only be surmised from the neutral legalise of the affidavit, which cites photos taken at the crime scene - and appears to hint at an attempt to cover-up the alleged incident.

"These photos also depict the burned body of what appears to be a woman with blankets thrown over her upper torso," the documents alleged.

There's something wrong with this other than the rape case:

Iraq wants U.N. oversight in rape-murder case
Justice minister calls alleged attack on woman, her family ‘monstrous’
BAGHDAD, Iraq - Iraq’s justice minister demanded Tuesday that the U.N. Security Council ensure a group of U.S. troops is punished for allegedly raping and murdering a young Iraqi woman and executing her family, calling the attack “monstrous and inhuman.” http://msnbc.msn.com/id/13696479/

Why does the IRAQ JUSTICE MINISTER can't even make his own country justice system work in that case? Or is there really a ministery working in Baghdad? Is it a democracy when you cannot protest, raise you voice or just go to work, without the fear of being killed, rape or kidnap? Is it a democracy when the Prime Minister of Iraq say that the human rights violations are even worse than under Saddam, but nobody care to talk about it in the medias as if the Iraqi PM was just another insurgents?

Anyway, it's clear, the USA failed in Iraq, time to get out and pay the price ($$) of your errors, happy 4th of july!

So in your mind this is just a little less bad because of the beheadings?
