Rape and Murder by US Troops in Iraq

[scandium]

Right... rape and murder... just a statistic.

Edit: there are a few things about this that I find particularly notable:

It involved 4 or 5 perpetrators (depending on the article you look at); unlike the Haditha incident, it was reportedly a "crime of opportunity" (and not done in the heat of battle); three members of her family were killed and the house burned down to cover it up; the incident was initially attributed to sectarian violence (until someone came forward).

Its also a little different from a crime committed by "priests, sweet school teachers, brothers, and the guy working at the news paper stand on the corner" because:

a: None of the above are armed by a foreign occupying power;

b: None of the above are responsible, as an occupying power, for maintaining the security of the people;

c: None of the above are engaged in fighting an insurgency and "winning the hearts and minds of the people".
