From Rep. Dan Burton of Indiana:
“Friend,
I just wanted to send you a quick update on the status of our brave Navy SEALs. Recently we learned from Petty Officer McCabe’s attorney that the defendants still have not been shown any evidence against them. The only explanation for this highly unusual circumstance offered to McCabe’s lawyer was that the “evidence was undergoing a security review before being released.”
Before the SEALs’ trial begins in January, I plan to pursue more answers and push hard for their exoneration.
My recent appearances on Fox News and coverage in countless newspapers and blogs has expanded the reach of our cause and alerted thousands of fellow Americans about the treatment of these Navy SEALs.
As of today, over 29,000 people have signed the petition at www.savethenavyseals.com.
We’re searching for as much support as possible before delivering the petition, so please pass this email along to your friends and family so they can support the SEALs as well. Thanks again for your commitment and I will keep you posted on any updates I receive.
I want to wish you a very Merry Christmas.
Dan Burton”

Only 29,000 signatures so far? There should have been double that on the first day! Come on FReepers! Get this petition out to your lists ASAP and make sure those on your lists get it out to THEIR lists! This sham trial is starting up in January! Thanks jasminerose for the update from Dan Burton, and bless him for looking our for our Navy SEALs!
