should the american soldiers acused of the rape and muder of the iraqi girl be turned over to the iraquis?

Question

Should they be turned over to an international war crimes tribunal and tried there?

actually, im not on"their side" but i think that us soldiers shouldnt be immune to international prosecution. i seriously doubt youd find a truer conservative than i am.

Sir, with all due respect, i doubt that you were ever an officer in the corps. My father flew off aircraft carriers, and is a gentleman. He would never defend admitted rapists and murderers in the fashion in which you have. you must have had your head in the sand or in your ***, sailor, since you obviously dont know the facts surrounding this issue.( look at the top of your check if you dont like being called "sailor")

Answer 1

yes.. but it won't happen in a million year..

Answer 2

Ok of those two choices, I would go with the ICC for prosecution of war crimes.

What I don't agree with is the USA prosecuting them. If not the ICC then they should be given to the Iraqi government. I mean that is what Bush is telling us right... that the Iraqis have an independent government with their own courts and constitution.

If an Iraqi did the same here, we would put him on trial here.

Answer 3

An American soldier accused of rape and murder of an Iraqi girl must be tried in the court that has jurisdiction of the area where the crime was allegedly committed. Custody of the soldier must still be with his unit unless the Iraqi law do not provide bail for a temporary liberty from imprisonment. When the soldier is found guilty by the court, then he must be turned over to the Iraqis for imprisonment or execution under the Iraqi law.

Answer 4

Last time I heard, there was no DNA evidence to back up the accusation. I agree with whoever said let the US try them, and only if they're found guilty do we turn them over to the Iraqi government. But if they're found not-guilty, then it could just be a smear campaign.

BTW, when my dad was in the Navy, that was the general rule. If a sailor messed with an Islamic woman in an Islamic country, the Navy washed their hands of him. Dad remembered getting the warnings whenever they made port.

Answer 5

hell no our men should never be turned over to any gov, to be tried for any thing,first lets consider a few simple things, how do you know she was raped??? she may have as the Filipino prostitute did offer her self for a price and the guy didn't think she was worth it so she yells rape,he gets 20 years in prison, and he was there , not at his request , but, to help these people , if any one should be tried it should be the ones who sent them there, I have been in many different country's with many men and I have never seen any man rape a woman or even try without prior provacation, meaning a offer, acting sexy and available, or some other act to incite the man who is far from home lonely and they know exactly what they are doing,
I have seen some women unbutton their blouses no bra, and show their titties to men and tease them some even have had nothing but grass skirts on and they would part them and smile at the guy, so when some of you holier than thou's or wossies who don't have any terestone condemn these men and yell for
sever sentences , if you want a robot to fight your wars then get some but, don't expect men to be robots, and if you were there unlesss you are a wossie, you wouldn't know how it really is would you? I have never even been accused nor any of my men of raping or forceing any one , but I am not sure how , maybe just luck, but, one thing I am damned sure of is I would not go back into any military now that the ruless are so much against you , if you don't get killed, crippled, then you are subject to spend the rest of your life in some damned prison , wonderful thought huh??

you damned cry baby holier than thou's are not worth fighting for or riskin our mens lives for I am ashamed to be associated with such dip sticks

Answer 6

Yes let the Iraqis take care of them.

Even if they don't get to, those soldiers are going to have nightmares for the rest of their lives and will never be able to reclaim their lives as they once were. Guilt has a way of doing that. Karma will prevail just as it always does.

It would benefit some of you to go to youtube.com to see what some of our soldiers are "really" doing over there in Iraq. Some of them are shown taunting Iraqi children with water! These are all the worst crimes against humanity ever. Look what our government has them doing in the name of oil and greed.

Answer 7

I don't know you know the troops have been there so long that their mind is completely gone. They see nothing but death, blood , bombs, buddies being slaughtered. If a person's mind has completely been stressed to the limits they may not be capable of really knowing what their doing. Don't get me wrong they need to be given the worst punishment, but I think lock them up in a Insane Asylum for the rest of their lives, that would be the worst punishment they could receive

Answer 8

you want us to support the soldier who raped a 14 year old girl and killed her family? are you mad? say in 20 years when china are as powerful as usa and they decide to declare war if they came to your country and raped a member of you family and killed the rest of you just because your american would you like it if everyone was supporting him? and dont try and say you meant do you support him, because under the question you wrote "Don't you think we need more brave heros like him? And what a great goodwill embassador too! "

Answer 9

sometimes i think sharia laws for rape of women should be imposed and the punishment would be castration of the males genatiles thats the only way u can teach and asshole be it american or iraqi that raping women or girls will have more than grave consequences

Answer 10

No; they will give the guys far worse punishment than is needed. Although we have had/will have people in our court from different countries, we gave them a truthful and right trial. I don't think the Iraquis will do the right thing.

Answer 11

Its a grave matter of concern to the humanity...But if they're turned over to Iraqis, they're probably gonna torture them to death...So the proper thing to do is to turn them over to an international tribunal which has got nil American influence to try their cases and reward them the most punitive sentence...
