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.
One of the killers, Steven Green, was found guilty on May 07, 2009 in the US District Court of Paducah and is now awaiting sentencing.
The leaked Public Affairs Guidance put the 101st media team into a “passive posture” — withholding information where possible. It conceals presence of both child victims, and describes the rape victim, who had just turned 14, as “a young woman”.
The US Army’s Criminal Investigation Division did not begin its investigation until three and a half months after the crime, news reports at that time commented.
This is not the only grim picture coming out of Iraq U.S. forces being accused of using rape as a war weapon.
The release, by CBS News, of the photographs showing the heinous sexual abuse and torture of Iraqi POW’s at the notorious Abu Ghraib prison opened a Pandora’s Box for the Bush regime wrote Ernesto Cienfuegos in La Voz de Aztlan on May 2, 2004.

It’s quite a long time since I came back and posted something in here. Now I am typing what my mind says. No need to tell but this one’s might be just a random post. So beware if you probably won’t digest what I’m gonna say here.
So, waz up? Waz up with me? Hmmm. The semester’s gonna end by now. Soon, not until Ondoy came and moved the dates of deadlines since acads has to be suspended. It’s just so terrible. I am not happy with everything. The moving of acads calendar, the suspension of classes, the havoc that Ondoy brought, the hassle for everyone, everything. They’re spontaneous and no one’s really in mind to think this might happen. One word, TERRIBLE!
I am not directly affected by Ondoy except for my 12-yr old brother who slept at SM Centerpoint after being stranded at the establishment ’cause of flash flood. Other than that, I saw my friend’s house ruined by the flood itself. He lives in Marikina and he was one of those wreaked and left with soiled stuff at home. I could not just imagine what happened. It’s so sudden.
Now Pepeng’s coming. I am horrified with what might happen. Our house’s not sturdy enough to withstand strong winds, I feel so. We were just so lucky we were not swept by Ondoy but with Pepeng, I really don’t know. I could not do any better by now but pray for the safety of my family and for everyone.
As much as I want to help in relief operations, I can’t really leave home and leave my dad alone unless I have very important thing to do or if I feel the weather’s fine for a certain day. My Mom’s not here, as you may not know it and I have younger brothers to look after. I know my dad needs my help. So I can’t really stay very late or my dad will worry. Though I went in Brgy. UP Campus last Monday and did some feeding program for the nearby affected areas.
Nonetheless, these are just some of my qualms in life. Not to mention the academics that surely stresses me now (actually it never really fails to stress me out). Our thesis is going on but due to cancelled classes, our survey procedures are quite not going very well. Our feasibility study also tries to meddle over my free hours and pushes me to work and work and work. But the crazy thing about my student life is that I still include my ‘being performer stuff a.k.a My KG life’. Speaking of which, our applicants just finished their recital last Tuesday Oct. 29, 2008 despite the threat to weather. Another thing though, I became lax with my ‘activist mode’ since I could not really evenly weigh things that much during times like these. I became too busy with KG and acads.
If you want to stalk me or get an update, perhaps, I am very active in facebook. Yes, I am. Hehehe 
My url is http://www.facebook.com/jezzstarr. I don’t update my twitter, my multiply, or friendster. Just facebook. I don’t have a secretary to do all of them! I just have my two hands and some ample free time to update my virtual profile. 
There. Pretty serious post I have here, I guess. I made it as short and as straight as possible and so bear with me. 
Connect with me? OK?
Before I forget… This is my latest video which was aired in Umagang Kay Ganda last September 24, 2008. I was one of the musicians here and the cam was focused on me (yuck, yuck). Hehehe.. Hope you enjoy the video.
and my Graduation Picture for the yearbook. :S
