Try and find details on this case from an American news source. I couldn’t. Stupid GIs. They are so stupid that they killed a woman when they were just trying to humiliate, terrify and degrade her. Oops.

I actually think the Post article makes the soldiers sound worse than the link you put up, but then, she *worked* for the Post, so maybe they took exception to one of their employees being shot in the head by a U.S. soldier.

Man. Thanks for the link. I knew I should have looked at the Post. 🙂
I got a much different impression of the story after reading the Post article, of course. My own prejudice filled in the details of the first story, leading me to say “humiliate, terrify and degrade her”. My bad. I guess I just assumed that in order to put a gun to someone’s head and pull the trigger you would have to have both little respect for that person as well as some kind of animosity. Maybe not. Still stupid, though.
