Iraq-- - Five U.S. Army soldiers are being investigated for allegedly raping a young woman, then killing her and three members of her family in Iraq, a U.S. military official said Friday.

The soldiers also allegedly burned the body of the woman they are accused of assaulting in the March incident, the official told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the case.

The U.S. command issued a sparse statement, saying Maj. Gen. James D. Thurman, commander of coalition troops in Baghdad, had ordered a criminal investigation into the alleged killing of a family of four in Mahmoudiyah, south of Baghdad. The statement had no other details.

The case represents the latest allegations against U.S. soldiers stemming from the deaths of Iraqis. At least 14 U.S. troops have been convicted.

The United States also is investigating allegations that two dozen unarmed Iraqi civilians were killed by U.S. Marines in Iraq last Nov 05.

God is powerful enough to know what we're thinking. What's the point of praying if God already knows how we feel? Besides, does God even care what we think as long as we behave morally? Would it be better to think good things about God and not say so or to dislike God and say prayers anyway?

Hey, can anyone tell me what Academia in Spain is like, specifically compared to the US, if you can. I'm a grad student who will eventually be getting my PhD in Political Science. The problem is that I have an obsession with Spain, and I have to move there some day. So, if I can move there and teach in my field at the same time, all the better...

I've heard a few things about the University system in Spain before, mostly that they hire their own, and that Political Science programs are very qualitative, but I'd like to hear your opinions. ¡Muchísimas gracias!

We laid some pond lining down and filled it with water, now we're finding small larvae kind of creatures on the side in the water, how do we stop this without using expensive chlorine? Does salt work?

I currently use the NIV bible to study out of. But lately I have been told by a few people that the NIV bible is full of lie's and that is pretty much "Satan's" bible. I have also been told that I am only making satan happy and not GOD by reading the NIV. What is your opinion?

I want to get pregnant next summer, I am going off birth control pills in January. I have been on birth control pills for 6 years straight, will it take me a long time to conceive?

Were you on birth control pills for many years? How long before your cycle went back to normal? What was your experience like?
