NO LONGER AN ALLEGED RAPE: Message 22593186 Also the killing and torture of two U.S. soldiers recently was done out of revenge because of these U.S. attrocities. Unfortunately Green was not one of them "The affidavit is based on interviews conducted by the FBI and investigators at Fort Campbell with three unidentified soldiers assigned to Green’s platoon. One of the soldiers said he witnessed another soldier and Green rape the woman. “After the rape, (the soldier) witnessed Green shoot the woman in the head two to three times,” the affidavit said. Attempted cover-up alleged Ahlers said in the affidavit that he also reviewed photos taken by Army investigators in Iraq of bodies found inside a burned house, including photos of an Iraqi man, woman and young girl who all appear to have died of gunshot wounds. He said he also reviewed a photo of a burned body of “what appears to be a woman with blankets thrown over her upper torso.” An official familiar with details of the investigation in Iraq has told The Associated Press that a flammable liquid was used to burn the rape victim’s body in a cover-up attempt. U.S. officials have said they believed the victims were killed in sectarian violence. On Friday, the U.S. military acknowledged that Maj. Gen. James Thurman, commander of the 4th Infantry Division, had ordered a criminal investigation into the alleged slaying of a family in Mahmoudiya. Four members of the 502nd have had their weapons taken away and were confined to a U.S. base near Mahmoudiya, officials said. The suspects belong to the same unit as two soldiers kidnapped and killed south of Baghdad last month, a military official said on condition of anonymity because the case was under way. The military has said that one and possibly both of the slain soldiers were tortured and beheaded. 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. According to the affidavit filed Monday, investigators learned of the March 12 attack during a combat stress debriefing that occurred around June 20. Green will have a preliminary hearing and a detention hearing on July 10 in Charlotte, and will then be brought to Louisville, said Marisa Ford, chief of the criminal division for the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Louisville."
