US ex-soldier faces death for rape, murder of Iraqi girl

April 28, 2009 - 12:59PM

A former US soldier accused of being the ringleader of the gang rape of an Iraqi girl and the murder of her family bragged about how "awesome" it was, a prosecutor told jurors on Monday.

Specialist Steven D. Green - a soldier discharged for a "personality disorder" before the slaying was discovered - faces the death penalty if convicted in a civil trial being held in Kentucky.

Three other soldiers were given life sentences in the March 2006 atrocity which was allegedly devised over whiskey and a game of cards at a traffic check point in Mahmudiyah, south of Baghdad.

A fourth soldier who acted as a lookout was sentenced to 27 months in jail.

1. I've often said that Tim McVeigh should have been allowed Life, no parole ...
in a deep dark hole, being fed only the barest minimum nutrition to keep him alive ...

and let him live the rest of his life with just the memory of what he did to get there ...

"Cruel and unusual"? Yes ... but fitting ...

he probably felt honored to be executed under Bush ... of course, if he had been executed under Clinton or Gore, he would have gone to his grave with the smug knowledge that he would have become a martyr ...
