Doesn't look too good for Mr. Green. Iraqis knew of the alleged rape/murder long before it was in the news here.
Thank you for posting the affidavit link (post 14). Everyone interested in this case should read it.
Your first reaction, dynoman, is it "doesn't look too good for Mr. Green."
My first reaction is, Wow, look at the discrepancies. The affidavit raises so many more questions than it gives answers. Of course, FBI special agent Ehlers begins with the qualifier that he did not include "each and every fact known to me concerning this investigation."
My question is this: Since the affidavit attests that both U.S. Army personnel and Iraqi Army personnel were called to the crime scene in its immediate aftermath (March 12, 2006), what investigation was conducted on scene from that time forward? And why did the investigation not lead to the soldiers?
The affidavit states that soldier complicity was only "discovered" on June 20, 2006 via an interview conducted with the "hearsay" soldier as part of redeployment counseling. By then, they were out of country and it was 3-1/2 months after the fact.
I raised questions re the affidavit in the other thread and, now, with another reading I have more questions. It was also pointed out by another FReeper that the soldiers interviewed may not have had access to legal counsel prior to or during their questioning by the FBI.
