Item #6 says that during a combat stress debriefing on 6/20/06 it was determined that these members of the 4th Infantry division commited this crime. Yet all the previous reports say that two guys were debriefed, neither an eyewitness. One said that he overheard guys talking about it, and another said that he heard that the guys burned their clothes. And it was not until 6/24/06 that the invistigation from CIS started. Therefore Item 6 is factually wrong to say it was "determined" on 6/20/06 that our men did this
The incident surfaced in a counseling session designed to deal with the stress of the kidnapping of two of their confreres. Those revelations happened from two servicemembers on 6/20. The investigation that started on 6/24 resulted from those revelations.
Two others have since implicated themselves in the murders/rape. Why would two soldiers lie about their own guilt? To protect insurgents?
No idea. Just pointing out the inconsistencies. Surely you don't mind.
They might lie about their own guilt because, reportedly, they were threatened with death sentences if they did not confess. Who knows? Time will tell.
Well, if guilt is proven or confessed to then they deserve everything they get. The crimes referred to are abhorrent and deserve maximum punishment.
