Green made statements prior to his being discharged from the Army that seem suggestive when taken in conjunction with the alleged events of March 11/12, 2006:
"I was surprised by how many people weren't home, but the ones who were there were submissive and let us look through their things."
Steven D. Green was stationed with Company B, 1st Battalion, 502nd Infantry Regiment in early December, 2005, when he said those words to Specialist George Welcome. Welcome was preparing an article that would ultimately be published in the Fort Campbell Courier, the publication serving members of the U.S. Army based in Fort Campbell, Kentucky.
Spc. Welcome wrote:
"In order to stabilize the area, the Soldiers and the citizens must have a basic trust, which is why during the patrol, the men took care in searching people's homes. The Soldiers searched for weapons, improvised explosive device-making materials and any anti-coalition or anti-Iraqi forces propaganda. . ."
In the same piece, published in the Courier on December 16, 2005, Steven D. Green also said, "We succeeded in clearing Mullah Fayed, but it's kind of disappointing that we didn't find anything. . ."
Associated Press writer Steve Quinn reported the following on July 5, 2006:
"Previously, in a federal court affidavit, investigators said only that 21-year-old Steven D. Green had been given an honorable discharge for a 'personality disorder' this spring before the murder case came to light.
"But U.S. military officials who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the case said late Tuesday it was an 'antisocial personality disorder.' They did not elaborate. . ."
