"Navy SEALs have secretly captured one of the most wanted terrorists in Iraq — the alleged mastermind of the murder and mutilation of four Blackwater USA security guards in Fallujah in 2004.
And three of the SEALs who captured him are now facing criminal charges, sources told FoxNews.com... . Ahmed Hashim Abed, whom the military code-named "Objective Amber," told investigators he was punched by his captors — and he had the bloody lip to prove it.
Now, instead of being lauded for bringing to justice a high-value target, three of the SEAL commandos, all enlisted, face assault charges and have retained lawyers. Matthew McCabe, a Special Operations Petty Officer Second Class (SO-2), is facing three charges: dereliction of performance of duty for willfully failing to safeguard a detainee, making a false official statement, and assault.
Petty Officer Jonathan Keefe, SO-2, is facing charges of dereliction of performance of duty and making a false official statement. Petty Officer Julio Huertas, SO-1, faces those same charges and an additional charge of impediment of an investigation."A bloody lip? Is that all? I would like to know who is the numb-nut who let this investigation go forward.
In 1979 I caught a North Korean Regular climbing out of a tunnel. After asking him please to come with me back to the CP, he refused and I shot the idiot. Ask me if anyone cared then, and more important does anyone care now. I was cleared, because I did my job. God forbid the men and women begin to get trivial trials for doing their job.
Ask me if anyone cared then, and more important does anyone care now.

Mac, I can't tell you how many ways this pisses me off. Why not just tell our soldiers to be nice to the poor terrorists? After all, the terrorists are only expressing their freedom of religion, right?
Reply DeleteGood on the SEALs for demanding a straight up courts martial. Maybe some one with some common sense will tell them to read the damn al Qaeda training manual that tells all wannabe jihasist that they could claim abuse if they are captured.
Seems AQ has our number all right and it is ZERO.
Why do I have to be Polite, this is pure unadulterated Bull Shit!
