Paul Cortez, James Barker, Jesse Spielman, Brian Howard and Steven Green giving freedom to Iraq

Sunday, 12th March 2006. Yusufiyah, Iraq.



American soldiers Paul Cortez, James Barker, Jesse Spielman, Brian Howard and Steven Green raped and killed 14 years old girl Abeer Qassim Hamza al-Janabi.

Before that, they had murdered:
  • Hadeel Qasim Hamza, 5 years old (her sister)
  • Fakhriyah Taha Muhsin, 34 years old (her mother)
  • Qasim Hamza Raheem, 45 years old (her father)


All soldiers belonged to the 502nd Infantry Regiment. They set the girl's corpse on fire to destroy evidence of the rape.
  1. Steven Green was arrested but I have no information on his trial.
  2. James Barker was sentenced 90 years in prison, but can go out after 20 on parole.
  3. Paul Cortez was sentenced 100 years in prison, but can go out after 10 on parole.
  4. Jesse Spielman was sentenced 110 years in prison, but can go out after 10 on parole.
  5. Steven Green is waiting to be judged by a penal court (not military) in Kentucky.

I'm French so sorry for my expression.
I read a lot of articles about that story, that savagery and I'm finding this very horrible. I hope all of these 5 freaks will go in hell just after die in horrible circumstances !
That's all they deserve and it's not much for what they did.
I hope Allah will punish these MONSTERS as they must be !

Please accept my deepest sympathy for this family who are these two little girls and these parents , 'm so so so sorry !!!
And I'm so sad for what happend to them! Hope this family will go to heaven , that all I'm wishing...

What kind of LAW is this? Sentenced to 110 years and "could be release after 10"? Why don't you sentenced them to 1000 years and release them after 1? After 10 years, they will be more matured and more crime-thirsty. Your mercy to the beasts will victimize your people. Sweet dreams, America!

Jesse's real mother is DeeDee Chase. She lives in Lawton, Ok. Her husband is in the army and stationed at Ft.Sill, Ok. Nancy Hess raised him, she is actually his grandmother, DeeDee & Paige's mother.It's really sad that something like this has happened and gives American soldiers a bad name. What happened to an eye for an eye? Maybe Jesse is as crazy as his biological mother?
