Here CNN : pic and age determination of raped Mahmoudiya girl.

Citizenship identification cards issued by the Iraqi government shows Abeer Qasim Hamza al-Janabi in 1993 with a date of birth of August 19, 1991, as translated from the identity card. Four more U.S. soldiers were charged with the rape and murder of the teenager and killed her and three relatives at her home south of Baghdad, the U.S. military said on Sunday.

obviously it has been published in the Daily Telegraph (Australia) too but the link doesn't work.

either the ID is a fake (note that it is the same doctored ID that CNN shows) or the Chinese are bad at translating Arabic...

I just googled a little with "Mahmoudiya rape" and option images...

2. And what's wrong with her being born in 1991 and the ID issued in 1993
She looks 2 years old to me.

3. Why is it a 'fake' or 'doctored'?

This same document was shown here when the facts of this case were first coming to light. Looks to me like those US soldiers raped and killed a teenaged Iraqi.

On edit:
You did not provide a CNN link but your headline says CNN. :shrug:

CNN obviously pretended that her age wasn't determined. That's what I tried to counter. I should have stayed in the original thread.

6. I saw that "discrepancy" (glaring one) on CNN this a.m. and was going
Edited on Sun Aug-06-06 09:28 PM by KoKo01
to post about it here on DU...but had to do other things. Thanks for catching this and putting it out there!

CNN is covering for our Military with this disgusting age thing on their website,when there have been three or four other much more verifiable posts this a.m. with "up-to-date info" about this dreadful, brutal tripple rape murder and attempt to burn the evidence.

That CNN could have posted this "old" info on it's website which in the first read makes it sound like she wasn't a "girl" but a "woman" is bad enough...but that their readers would think RAPING ANYONE of ANY AGE whether Female or Male would be any different if one was 20 or 25 or 14 or whatever... is the the ABOMINATION OF THAT CNN ARTICLE!!!!

CNN...if it isn't bringing you PROPAGANDA 24/7 it brings DISTORTIONS AND LIES! I was so pissed at that distortion and lie up on their website....
