Majied is also quoted as saying he was a Navy Seal who served 5 years in Vietnam. Authentiseal never heard of him.

...which raises the question of whether the SEAL claim originated with Mr. Majied or with the AP reporter.

He changed his name after his religious conversion, but the AP reported did not even think to ask his previous name.

Ahmed Majied sounds Islamic to me.
It is an islamic practice to receive a new islamic name when one converts.
Could that be the case with this man? Anyone know his original name and check it with authentiseal?

Thanks. Is this a little backtracking on the part of Mr. Majied that we're seeing?

Big Time!
Of all the things the AP takes for granted, claims of being a Navy SEAL is just not one to take lightly.

And the AP reporter just assumes her's teling the truth because he seems like a nice guy. Amazing.
To: savedbygrace
teling = telling
(Proofread before hitting Send, you idiot.)
To: Conservababe
That's because he had a "peace about him" according to the reporter. Jiminy, let's not be so anal about evidence and facts.

Anyone know if ANY SEALs did 5 tours in Vietnam?
Don't think it is impossible, but think he would be famous amongst SEALs...5 tours?! Anyone know how many did 5 tours, if any?
To: John Jorsett
Direct phone number to AP President & CEO Tim Curley
1-212-621-7550
He usually picks up his own phone.
I've spoken to him about the AP's "1000 booed while Bush did nothing" and I called to ask why the AP hasn't requested Kerry's military records.
On the Military record issue, the guy tried to lie to me that the AP had seen ALL of Kerry's records and there was nothing to report. I asked how that could be since Kerry hasn't signed Form 180 and released all his records. Silence, thank you, click.

"It is an Islamic practice to receive a new Islamic name when one converts."
I guess that's true, Maybe Calypso Louie could enlighten us.
So now we need to find out what his name was when/if he served in the Navy.

Travis McGee makes a good point: why would a paper go with a story on someone who refused to give their name so their story could be checked?
I doubt they'd do that for either of us.
