Sgt. Paul E. Cortez, 24 Cortez admitted that the plan to rape the girl was hatched as he and his colleagues played cards. He said the girl was an easy target because there was only one male in her house.ID card of 14-year old girl Abeer Qassim al-Janabi who was raped in March 2006 in Iraq
"During the time me and Barker were raping Abeer, I heard five or six gunshots that came from the bedroom…After Barker was done, Green came out of the bedroom and said that he had killed them all, that all of them were dead."
"Green then placed himself between Abeer's legs to rape her. When Green was finished, he stood up and shot Abeer in the head two or three times."
The horrible crime lasted about five minutes, and the girl knew her parents and sister had been shot while she was being raped, the hearing heard.
The heinous crimes committed against innocent Iraqi civilians by U.S. occupation forces since the 2003 invasion have tarnished the image of the American military. But the rape-murder case could be particularly damaging to the U.S.’s image in Iraq’s conservative Muslim society.

Sick! They deserve to die.
What bothers me Robyn, is that this was done in "our" name.
We had no business over there in the first place. This "war" has done nothing but produce a generation of young Arabs who have good reason to hate us.
The Iraqi people had nothing to do with 911. This little girl was minding her business, trying to stay alive.
Notice the American army is being used in the same manner as the Israeli army - to occupy, terrorize and provoke. I guess that is what happens when you put Israeli lobbyists in charge of the pentagon.
