This piece reports some hereunto unavailable information about the soldier who has been accused of raping an Iraqi woman and then murdering her and three family members. Much information in the piece are unsourced and difficult to verify independently. The writer leaves some important questions unanswered, such as: even if the solderier indeed had had a "rocky past", so what? Did it affect or justisfy the soldier's actions? For a better account on the alleged rape and murders, the affidavit filed for the arrest warrent is far more informative (see "Related Links" below).

The major issue I have is with the use of the psychiatric diagnosis; the question should have been raised with the expert cited as to whether such a diagnosis can be the result of stressful duty or whether is is likely that it precedes the alleged crime. And what was his plea? How was the information about the incident obtained? Did Green confess? Were the "other soldiers" written of in the hatching of the plot the basis of the information about the actual event? Too many questions are raised but not answered.
