GIs may have planned Iraq rape, slayings

One can only guess what kind of reaction this horrible crime will create across Iraq and the middle east. As the military continues to lower their standards for recruits, in order to provide warm bodies for this unending war, will we see a rise in these types of incidents? Let's hope not. For it only spells trouble for all of those that serve in our military. My heart aches for the victims of this crime and for anyone who may become a target of its revenge.

Iraq - Investigators believe American soldiers spent nearly a week plotting an attack in which they raped an Iraqi woman, then killed her and her family in an insurgent-ridden area south of Baghdad, a U.S. military official said Saturday.
