The graphic account o the alleged assault came from criminal investigator Benjamin Bierce who said he interviewed one of the accused, Spc. James P Barker, on June 30.
Bierce was testifying on the second day of a hearing to decide whether a group of five US soldiers must stand trial.
James Barker is accused along with SGt. Paul E. Cortez, Pfc. Jesse V Spielman, Prc. Bryan L. Howard of rape and murder.
A fifth soldier, Sgt. Anthony W. Yribbe, is accused of failing to report the attack and is alleged to have lied to cover up for his colleagues.
The case is one of a series of atrocities blamed on US forces in Iraq.
Barker??s sworn and signed statement was submitted to the hearing and Bierce revealed some details during his testimony.
According to Barker??s statement, 12 soldiers had been drinking Iraqi whisky mixed with an energy drink and practising golf swings at a checkpoint south of Baghdad, on the day of the attack.
One of the men, Specialist Steven Green, said that he "wanted to go to a house and kill some Iraqis", the statement alleged.
Four of the accused ?? Barker, Sergeant Paul Cortez, Private Bryan Howard, Private Jesse Spielman ?? agreed with Green's plan.
They allegedly changed into black silk underwear and masks and set off for the family's nearby home, the statement said.
They then went to the house about 200 metres away and put the parents and the girl??s young sister in the bedroom.
It??s alleged Green and Mr Cortez then took it in turns to rape or attempt to rape the girl in the living room.
Barker said he heard shots from the bedroom, and Steven Green emerged with an AK-47 in his hand saying, ??They??re all dead. I just killed them.?
He then raped the girl and shot her dead before her body was doused in kerosene and set alight.
After the murders, the troops allegedly returned to their checkpoint 200 metres away and "grilled chicken wings", the statement said.

same responce ARE YOU KIDDING ME??!?!?

Not that you'll get it but, these soldiers have plead not guilty and they haven't been convicted of anything yet.

Apparently that doesn't matter, you have made up your mind.

BTW If they are convicted we won't dig up the dead girls bodies and beat them, or whip their parents, there's a difference here.

Focus real,real hard Krogith and see what happens.
