SHOULD THESE US SOLDIERS BE EXECUTED?


[+] ballot by B_P
created Tue Sep 05, 06

Four American soldiers accused of raping an Iraqi girl in March and killing members of her family are facing a court martial that could result in death sentences for all of them.

This latest case has attracted attention because of the degree of brutality that is alleged. Prosecutors assert the four men raped the teenage girl then killed her, her parents and her seven-year-old sister in the family's home in Mahmudiya, in what is known as the triangle of death, because of the many attacks there by Sunni insurgents.

Specialist James Barker, Pte Jesse Spielman, Pte Bryan Howard and Sgt Paul Cortez, all members of the 502nd Infantry, 101st Airborne Division, are charged with rape and premeditated murder. They are also charged with arson after prosecutors alleged they doused the body of the rape victim with kerosene and set it on fire.

COMMENTS:
If they are in fact guilty then yes, that was a horrific crime and deserves a severe punishment.

There will be a trial. Evidence will be produced and a verdict/punishment will be rendered.

Lava, I just hope that the trial doesn't end up a farce, overweighted by the need to "protect the Coalition."

I hope so, too, Truthseeker013. And, time will tell. Just as some jumped to conclusions as to Mr. Karr, we must remain impartial until evidence comes out. I am neutral at this point. That said, if it happened as we read, it is so bad and great punishment must be meted out.

Interesting how most people responded 'yes'.

I've got a feeling that if this were about saddam being executed for his crimes people would chime in that they oppose the death penalty, it's barbaric, we shouldn't lower ourselves to his level, it won't bring anyone back, etc etc.

I wonder why they didn't russ such a fuss here?

Very well said, herzog!
