Iraqi female's age "debatable"?

Advertisements [?]

They were doing a story on "Morning Edition" this morning with some guest whose name escapes me, who tried to squirm around the age of the girl murdered and raped in Iraq (The guest stayed in safe territory and kept referring to her as "female").

When one of the NPR hosts called him on it asking whether she was a woman or a girl, the guest said the age was still "debatable" because even those her own family and neighbors say she was 14-15, the military insists she was 20-25.
