Consistent with #9 date.
From the AD:
9. On 06/26/2006, SOI2 was interviewed and explained that on the evening of 3/11/2006, Green and KP1 talked about raping the woman. The woman lived in a home behind the TCP. Green and KP1 had previously been to the residence. Subsequent to the conversation discussing raping the woman, SOI2, SOI3, KP1, and Green went to the home...
Now it may be that subsequent could have meant the next day, but doubtful.
And it says "shortly thereafter" they changed clothes and departed for the house.
But you overlooked a very intriguing tidbit of that same statement (paragraph): Janabi said Abeer was not in school and, like other peasant girls, seldom left the house. But he said that three days before the killings, the Rasheed family was at his house and his cousin was complaining that the American soldiers at the nearby guard post were constantly searching her house. Janabi said the parents believed that the "girl was the target."
If true why were this family's house being searched constantly.
Or
Could this be a misinterpretation of what Janabi meant? Could have been watching the house or were they constantly searching the house?
Please add me to your military ping list on these cases too, if you would.
Your research has been excellent.
TIA.
This is the same Janabi that siad that shots were fired and Iraqi Army were surrounding the house. All I know is that the Iraqi witnesses are horrible liars.
Highly likely, if you read the affidavit and my previous posts.
Will do Polly.
Who was at one time an American Army soldier who served 17 years in the military. Go figure!
In the way you are choosing to piece this together, then yes, it would be likely. But 3 folks talked about 3/11 and one even said he was approached by an iraqi reporting it THAT date. So there is much to dismiss if 3/12 is the murder date.
Does not mean you are wrong, but that the AD is confused.
The army investigators when they went to investigate after the crime was reported.
Yes. One bad apple and a kid. Much different then 5 bad apples and a sixth who "knew" but did not say anything.
Maybe KP1 was such a dominant commanding presence, but we can rest assured that Green was not.
That sounds like you think the Iraqis did it.
No we can't. We have had posts discussing how sometimes the mentally disturb can lead.
Lots of examples around to show that.
That is why we need to wait for the trial to see the evidence both sides present.
You are kidding right? You are pulling my leg, lol! Have you been reading any of the articles that have been posted?
You are on it now.
Was it SOI5's group? Apparently, they were the first US soldiers on the scene after the murders. Or maybe they called in the photographer. But that pesky 3/11 date was the date he claimed.
We do know for a fact that the investigators and at least some of the jabani clan thought it was sectarian violence, which would be the natural inital conclusion.
I have created no hypothesis, and won't be able to until more info comes out. I always am suspicious of the first wave of information, because more often than not, it is wrong.
I do know that the MSM thought Haditha was a slam dunk for our men being guilty of a massacre. I'm willing to bet now that the Haditha Marines all walk free.
