This Is A Given In My Estimation

Iraq wants the UN to see justice is done. They have little faith the US military will see to it. Who can't understand their concerns.

However, I would suggest these allegations are being aggresively investigated. Lets see how these investigations go. The US military can prosecute criminal acts. Just wait and see what they do.

Iraq's justice minister demanded Tuesday that the U.N. Security Council ensure a group of U.S. troops is punished for allegedly raping and murdering a young Iraqi woman and executing her family, calling the attack "monstrous and inhuman."

Justice Minister Hashim Abdul-Rahman al-Shebli condemned the attack a day after former private Steven D. Green appeared in federal court in North Carolina to face charges of killing the woman's family so he and other soldiers could rape her.

At least four other U.S. soldiers still in Iraq are under investigation in the March 12 rape and killings in Mahmoudiya, south of Baghdad.

"If this act actually happened, it constitutes an ugly and unethical crime, monstrous and inhuman," said al-Shebli, a Sunni Arab. "The Iraqi judiciary should be informed about this investigation which should be conducted under supervision of international and human organizations. Those involved should face justice."

I'm not about to say we can do no wrong. I'm just saying we should let the system work and bitch like hell if it seems it didn't work.
