I read this today ... not only is it heartbreaking, but it just makes me think that despite the fact that some good has come in the past couple of years in this global thing (yes I know, among much bad), maybe we're not always the good guys.
If I were on the other end of the world, you better be damn sure the U.S. would be on my blacklist when shit like this happens. It's no wonder the world hates us.
Sorry U.S. I love you, but seriously, WTF are we doing here?
Soldier pleads guilty in Iraq killings
... The indictment accuses Green and others of raping the 14-year-old girl and burning her body to conceal their crimes. It also alleges that Green and four others stationed at a nearby checkpoint killed the girl's father, mother and 6-year-old sister.
Barker has given investigators vivid accounts of the assault. An investigator testified during a hearing in August that Barker had said the soldiers drank whiskey and played cards while plotting the assault, that Barker, Cortez and Green took turns raping the girl, and that Green shot her and her family.
