'Wash Post' piece on noncombat death in Iraq: Drinking, sex, and 'a crime, not an accident'

In a front-page piece in today's Washington Post, Donna St. George offers a remarkable view of one "noncombat" death of an American in Iraq in 2006. It opens: "Pfc. Hannah Gunterman McKinney was 20 years old, the brown-eyed mother of a toddler son, when she was spotted in the headlights of a passing Humvee on a perimeter road at one of the largest U.S. military camps in Iraq. Thirteen hours later, in Redlands, Calif., Barbie and Matt Heavrin, who had three children in the military, learned they had lost their elder daughter to 'injuries suffered when she was struck by a vehicle,' as the Army first described it.

"But there was more to the story. For the Heavrins, the events of Sept. 4, 2006, inside the wire of Camp Taji emerged bit by bit. McKinney's last hours, they would learn, involved alcohol, sex and a decorated reservist who was responsible for looking out for junior enlisted soldiers such as their daughter." A messy trial with a mixed verdict follows. As some may know, I have closely monitored noncombat deaths in Iraq for over four years.
