The pass­port of an Iraqi girl who was raped and mur­dered in Mah­mudiya showed that she was 14.

The cor­rec­tion is:

This is not an Iraqi pass­port, this is an Iraqi ID card [You can’t use this to travel abroad], we used such ID since the 80’s, the text [right side, above in pink ink] says (LOST) which means it’s a sec­ond ID [because the first one is lost], no forgery here, because the stamp used [left, at the bot­tom] is from pre-war period.

PS

I per­son­ally find it strange that every­body is say­ing the vic­tim was 14 years old, but Amer­i­cans need to see the ID to believe it.

    […] this is for djinn, also. i imag­ine this sort of activ­ity is out of bounds for amer­i­can troops, par­tic­u­lar­ily since the lit­tle grrl in ques­tion had a DoB of March 28 1993. for the mnath­e­mat­i­cally chal­lenged among you, that means she was still 12 at the time of the attack. […]

    […] Some­one I respect sent me the link to this post call­ing me out over our cov­er­age of this story, so I feel like I have to respond. First, yeah, I’m aware of the alle­ga­tion that SHE WAS TWELVE!!; I’ve looked at the photo of her Iraqi ID card five times now and I still don’t see how it proves that SHE WAS TWELVE!! The date on it looks to me like 1991, not 1993 — and the AP agrees: A pho­to­graph of the girl’s Iraqi iden­tity card, viewed by The Asso­ci­ated Press in Bagh­dad, showed the girl was 14 at the time of the attack, with her birth­date listed as Aug. 19, 1991. The iden­tity card was issued in 1993 and shows a pic­ture of the girl as a toddler. […]
