Correcting “The New York Times�
The New York Time article “Baghdad Erupts in Mob Violence� showed this image, under the image there was the following
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. [...]
