Rape as a Weapon of War

I was sent this link by my cousin and I find it my moral duty to share it with you. However, I will post this disclaimer: The images you are about to see when you click the forthcoming link, despite some censorship, are incredibly graphic. The Asian Tribune is running a story on the use of rape by US forces as a weapon of war in Iraq. The editor begins the story with a specific case:

"In March 2006 four US soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division gang raped a 14 year old Iraqi girl and murdered her and her family —including a 5 year old child. An additional soldier was involved in the cover-up."

However unpleasant it is to think that OUR side can be responsible for such atrocities, we cannot turn a blind eye to these proceedings. Are we to believe that in order to fight "agents of evil" it is necessary to become evil?
