Not a way to win hearts and minds

Rape-murder 'plotted for week'
July 03, 2006

BEIJI, Iraq: Investigators believe a group of US soldiers spent a week plotting an attack in which they raped an Iraqi woman, then killed her and her family in a town south of Baghdad.

A US official familiar with the investigation said flammable liquid -- possibly petrol or lighter fluid -- was used to burn the woman's body in a cover-up attempt. If convicted of premeditated murder, the soldiers could receive the death sentence under US military law.

The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the attack appeared to have been "totally premeditated" and the soldiers had reportedly studied the family for about a week before carrying out the assault. According to the official, the Sunni Arab family had just moved into a new home in the religiously mixed area about 30km south of Baghdad.

The US troops entered the home and separated three family members from the woman, the official said. They raped her, then killed her and set fire to her body. The soldiers then killed the other three members of the family.

No, it's definately not a way to win hearts and minds. It is also not typical of the behavior of U.S. soldiers.

As the article states, those who did this face execution like any other murderer under the same conditions. If that is what they did, they deserve it.

Anonymous soldiers raping an anonymous woman and killing her anonymous family in an anonymous town on an unspecified date, all revealed by an anonymous official. Who could doubt a story like that?

Especially with a rational motive to confess like that:

The soldiers under investigation are from the same platoon as two troopers kidnapped and killed south of Baghdad earlier this month. The official said the mutilation of the slain soldiers stirred feelings of guilt and led at least one member of the platoon to reveal the rape-slaying on June 22.

its always a conspiracy with you

For the first time, just saw on CNN the word girl instead of woman in a reference to the victim.
When the story first broke the word was woman.
Then when reports started getting out that she was only 15, they changed it to young woman.

Rummy the dummy was on the ball on this one:
got that boy a fast tracked honorable discharge from a WAR ZONE for a "personality disorder" and back to the states before the press got the story.
