In other Iraq news, a U.S. soldier accused in the rape of an Iraqi teenage girl and the murder of her and her family is expected to plead guilty today. Specialist James Barker would be the first of five suspects to take public responsibility. Barker has admitted the soldiers raped the girl, Abeer Kassem Hamza al-Janabi, and then burned her body to cover up the crime. The soldiers also herded Hamza’s mother, father and 5-year-old sister into a room and shot them dead with an AK-47 rifle. Barker will not face the death penalty as part of his plea agreement.
