ANOTHER CASE OF "SECTARIAN VIOLENCE"
Sectarian violence? Who does the U.S. Propaganda ministry think its kidding?
US SOLDIER ADMITTED IRAQI RAPE8.8.2006. 10:11:37
A US military hearing has heard testimony of how three soldiers in Iraq drank alcohol and hit golf balls before two of them took it in turns raping a 14 year old girl and killed her and her family. The rape and massacre happened in Mahmudiya in March. It’s alleged the girl, her parents and five year old sister were killed by four US soldiers. The graphic account o the alleged assault came from criminal investigator Benjamin Bierce who said he interviewed one of the accused, Spc. James P Barker, on June 30. Bierce was testifying on the second day of a hearing to decide whether a group of five US soldiers must stand trial. James Barker is accused along with SGt. Paul E. Cortez, Pfc. Jesse V Spielman, Pfc. Bryan L. Howard of rape and murder. A fifth soldier, Sgt. Anthony W. Yribbe, is accused of failing to report the attack and is alleged to have lied to cover up for his colleagues. The case is one of a series of atrocities blamed on US forces in Iraq. Barker’s sworn and signed statement was submitted to the hearing and Bierce revealed some details during his testimony. According to Barker’s statement, 12 soldiers had been drinking Iraqi whisky mixed with an energy drink and practising golf swings at a checkpoint south of Baghdad, on the day of the attack. One of the men, Specialist Steven Green, said that he "wanted to go to a house and kill some Iraqis", the statement alleged. Four of the accused — Barker, Sergeant Paul Cortez, Private Bryan Howard, Private Jesse Spielman — agreed with Green's plan. They allegedly changed into black silk underwear and masks and set off for the family's nearby home, the statement said. They then went to the house about 200 metres away and put the parents and the girl’s young sister in the bedroom. It’s alleged Green and Mr Cortez then took it in turns to rape or attempt to rape the girl in the living room. Barker said he heard shots from the bedroom, and Steven Green emerged with an AK-47 in his hand saying, “They’re all dead. I just killed them.” He then raped the girl and shot her dead before her body was doused in kerosene and set alight. After the murders, the troops allegedly returned to their checkpoint 200 metres away and "grilled chicken wings", the statement said. Green has been discharged from the army because of a "personality disorder." He has been charged separately with rape and murder in a civilian court. The 21 year old has pleaded not guilty to the charges and his trial is pending. The other accused could face penalties up to and including death penalty should they face court martial. The hearings continue.

A US military court heard graphic testimony on how US soldiers took turns to hold down and rape a 14-year-old Iraqi girl and murdered her and her family.
At the hearing into whether four US soldiers should be court-martialled, a special agent described events in Mahmudiya based on an interview he conducted with Specialist James Barker, one of the accused.
The case, the fifth involving serious crimes investigated by the US military in Iraq, has outraged Iraqis and led Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki to call for a review of foreign troops' immunity from prosecution under Iraqi law.
Special Agent Benjamin Bierce said Barker described to him how he went into the living room of a house and held the hands of the teenage girl while Sergeant Paul Cortez either raped her or tried to rape her.
Barker then switched positions with Cortez and attempted to rape the girl but said he was not sure if he had done so, Bierce told the hearing.
He also said he was told shots were heard from the bedroom and shortly afterwards Private Steven Green emerged from the room, put down his AK-47 assault rifle then raped the girl while Cortez held her down.
Bierce said Barker told him that Green then picked up the weapon and shot her once, paused, then shot her several more times.
Military prosecutors are expected to set out their case against Private First Class Jesse Spielman, Barker, Cortez and Private First Class Bryan Howard, who face charges of rape and murder among others.
If court-martialled and found guilty, they could face the death penalty.
Green faces the same charges in a US federal court in Kentucky, home of the 502nd Infantry Regiment, his former unit.
Green, who has pleaded not guilty, was discharged from the army with a "personality disorder".
A fifth soldier, Sergeant Anthony Yribe, is charged with dereliction of duty and making a false statement and will also appear at the hearing, being conducted at a US base next to Baghdad airport.
COULD face the death penalty? Oooooh! A quick death is too good for those brainwashed racist Nazi fucks! Those Nazi storm troopers need to be strung up by their feet naked. Their hands should be tied. Then the surviving family and neighbors of that little girl should be given baseball bats, glowing hot branding irons, blowtorches, dull knives, pliers and of course stones and be told to go to town! These are the same monsters immortalized in damn near every movie about Vietnam. "They skinned Cletus and stuck his dick in his mouth!" [as they should when the U.S. military machine steps one foot on their land without their permission] "Lets do the whole fuckin village!" You never see the Me Lai massacre portrayed, because the truths of that fascist orgy are just too hellish for even "liberal" Hollywood to admit. Revelation of those truths to the masses would even have the "Democrats" thrown out as they should be for being too fascist and brutal. Of course we have another movie about 911 coming out because an American life is worth so much more than a Lebanese, Iraqi, or Vietnamese life since we are the uber race and all. Now more ignoramuses with guns will get motivated to go where they don't belong and "do" whole villages yet undone when the local citizens resist.

I am glad to see someone who has been over there comment on this atrocity. This morning The Today Show was doing a Fall fashion show--Ann Curry was smiling and laughing while the girls walked the runway in their new fashions. WE have to wonder how many other atrocities such as the one just described are taking place while other Amerians prance the runways.
whatever, these soldiers are innocent untill proven guilty. Jesse Spielman is one of my best friends. The last time i saw him was at his wedding right before he was shipped off to Iraq. I know him and have talked to him quite a few times since this came out. and I believe his story. This shit did happen but everybody wasn't involved. i can't speak for everybody, apparently Greene was the ringleader and an asshole but Jesse had nothing to do with it. He didn't rape or shoot anybody, he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. If you walk into a room with 3 guys with guns, who are supposed to be your superiors, raping and killing a family what can you hardly do? don't be quick to judge. even if you say you would shoot them or run to the authorities even if this is possible, remember Miligrams experiments. you can't say what you would do untill you are in that possition. thank god we live in america where people are innocent untill proven guilty.
none of these soldiers have been proven guilty yet.
Hi,
I'm the producer's assistant on a feature film and am trying to get a hold of Wild Bill.
If you could send me an email at sonia@thefilmfarm.ca, it would be much appreciated.
thanks,
