...Pentagon won't say how long it took to process Green's case. But even if his possible instability helped lead to the atrocity, that doesn't explain why his fellow soldiers allegedly participated in the incident--including one who reportedly joined Green in the rape--and helped him cover his tracks. The names of these other soldiers have yet to be released...
...cocaine? That burning question can't be answered definitively, and the recipe for Classic Coke wasn't stolen. Coke officials deny the drug was ever an ingredient.
