Soldier Describes Genesis of Plan to Rape 14 year old Iraqi girl

[ECH1969]

A soldier who pleaded guilty to conspiring to rape a 14-year-old Iraqi girl and kill her family described how he was approached by a fellow soldier with the plan to carry out the attack.

Barker told military judge Lt. Col. Richard Anderson that 21-year-old former Army private Steve Green approached him with a plan to attack the family as they drank whiskey purchased from Iraqi soldiers. "He brought it up to me and asked me what I thought about it," Barker said. "By the time we started changing clothes, it was more or less a nonverbal agreement that we were going to go along with what we were discussing."

Barker described in vivid detail how he raped Abeer Qassim al-Janabi with Cortez and Green before Green killed the girl, her younger sister and parents.

"Cortez pushed her to the ground. I went towards the top of her and kind of held her hands down while Cortez proceeded to lift her dress up," he said. "Around that time I heard shots coming from a room next door."

5. So, I haven't seen the video of this man confessing on any

cable channel yet. What's up with that? Oh... yeah, we are rehashing OJ again.

Anyone else find it strange that we are rehashing OJ again. Let's see, Fox bought his "If I did it, this is what I did" book and movie rights... when at least two or three other networks passed. I wonder why? Couldn't be distraction? Could it? From Fox, the official propaganda machine of the Republican party?

:sarcasm: :puke: :puke: :puke:

Oh, didn't we just revisit JonBenet?

Are we about to go back to Aruba?

Just so long as we don't hear about Iraq or our soldiers raping a murdering a 14 year girl and her family.

7. Strange how Repukes see ages ...

a 14 year old female is a "woman" ...

a 16 year old male page is an "adult" ...

a 22 year old intern is a "young girl" ...

8. Is this why they found some of our soldiers

dead with their penis' cut off? I remember the outrage from the Freaker types about the mutilation of our "boys".

These sick twisted fucks need to get passed around in prison for about 75 years until they die.

and don't anyone dare acuse me of "not supporting our troops". I am a troop. Bottom line is that these sick fucks were wired to do this. War is no excuse. They were rapist and killers before they were soldiers. The war just gave them the perfect opportunity.

What awful last moments of life that child must've suffered. :(

13. "I hated Iraqis, your honor,"

Barker said. "They can smile at you, then shoot you in your face without even thinking about it."


Unlike the American's who ask politely if they can shoot you in the back.

15. When we declare war, we invite this.

When we commit to endless occupation, we guarantee it.
