Like a horde of barbarians pilaging Rome

Thank you Aljazeera.

I think that if the american soldiers actually committed this crime, then they should be punished accordingly. If the crime is as it has been reported, capital punishment is in order.

However, saying that "this is what the american liberators are doing in Iraq, raping girls and killing civilians inside their houses" is a just a bit over the top. What does Aljazeera think it is, the New York Times?
