Rape: American soldiers 'took turns'
Baghdad
August 9, 2006

DRUNKEN American soldiers took turns to rape a 14-year-old Iraqi girl, a military tribunal has heard. The men murdered her and her family and celebrated by grilling chicken wings.

The soldiers, from the 101st Airborne Division, were on checkpoint duty when they decided they "wanted to kill some Iraqis", the tribunal in Baghdad was told.

It was the first time that an account had been given publicly of what is alleged to have happened in Mahmudiya, south of Baghdad, on March 12.

Sergeant Paul Cortez, Specialist James Barker, Private Jesse Spielman and Private Bryan Howard are charged with conspiracy to rape and murder. A fifth man, Sergeant Anthony Yribe, is charged with not reporting the attack. Former private Steven Green faces rape and murder charges in a civilian court.

Special agent Benjamin Bierce recounted the sworn testimony Barker had given him.

After two hours of interrogation, Barker said the men had been playing cards and drinking.

Green is alleged to have raised the idea of killing some Iraqis. The men changed into black clothing and ski masks and told Howard to stand look-out.

The girl, Abeer Qassim Hamza al-Janabi, and her father were standing outside a house. The soldiers allegedly dragged them inside and pushed the man, his wife and younger daughter, 6, into a side room where Green stood guard over them.

Barker's statement said Cortez pushed the girl to the floor and tore off her clothes as Barker held her down. She held her knees together and struggled as Cortez tried to rape her.

A gun shot came from the side room as the men switched places. More shots were heard from the side room and Green emerged with an AK-47. He allegedly said, "They're all dead," before raping the girl and shooting her several times.

Barker said her body was set alight. Green opened the house's propane tank to set it on fire.

They burnt their clothes, threw the gun into a canal and, back at the checkpoint, brought out the chicken wings.

    That's pretty disgusting.

    When a 14 year old American girl is raped and murdered it's front page news. I suppose in this case they figure the american's purity cleansed her during the raping or some stupid shit.

    we pretty much sent an entire task force of fbi agents to a sovereign nation to find one slutty white chick who was by our laws raping an underage boy after providing him with alcohol (she was 18 and that van Der sloot kid was 17...statutory rape in most states and def. providing a minor with drinks)
    riot act is best

    That's not much of an age difference. I'd have just let her do it, the kid? probably liked it anyway. What a waste of FBI talent, lol.

    It just sickens me that rape continues to be used as one of the most commonly used weapons in wars. Absolutely disgusting. The shame is that for every one story we actually hear about, there are probably thousands of others that are never reported.



    (As for Natalie Halloway - the age of consent in most states is 16 and there usually has to be a minimum of a 4 year difference for it to be considered statutory rape - i.e. a 19 year old having sex with a 15 year old)

    It makes you wonder just what the hell else is going on over there. And what made these guys decide they could get away with it.

    I always wonder that too. Were they violent to begin with or did their whole character change because of what they've witnessed and what they've been trained to do? I don't think anyone with a conscience could ever do something like that and then go eat some wings.

    exactly. if you honestly think that someone would be perfectly ok with this because of their party affiliation, it shows your immaturity.

    and to the poster that blames this on the people that voted for bush: maybe it's your fault it happened because not enough democrats voted for kerry.

    see, i can spin too.

  • What goes wrong inside one's head and heart that allows them to do these normally unthinkable things and still be able to live with themselves?
    If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.

    No, you calling that out shows your lack of a sense of humor which people are losing these days.

    Humor is the best repellant for the violent depression that all this stuff should be giving us.

    First of all, don't E-V-E-R tell me what to say or not to say. I'll say what I fucking please.

    Secondly, I started a thread last year about such transgressions by American soldiers who have been doing similar things for decades around the globe. The interest in it was luke warm at best. So why are Americans and others all of a sudden up in arms ? It's hardly a new phenomenon. And many of these didn't take place in the craziness of war, but in more sedate times and circumstances - so the American GI's had nothing else to blame but themselves. Maybe you should read up on all the good deeds perpetrated by American soldiers over the last 40-50 years in Japan and other places around the world where American soldiers are stationed.. It'll make your skin crawl.

    My guess is that the same could be said of any military organization anywhere in the world. When you have a culture where the primary function of the training is to make people stop thinking for themselves, and it's primary reason for existing in the first place is to kill things and blow shit up, there will be rampant abuses. It's the nature of the beast.

    sorry, can't find humor in saying someone with a different party affiliation than yours would defend this type of shit.

    exactly.

    A lot of people are growing cold.

    Or maybe it was always like that..

    if you can't make fun of rush limbaugh and bill o riley's rabid bias then you've lost it.

    it wasn't making fun of rape and murder.
