That soldier could land a 50-lb bass, a 1200 lb griz, a 16 pt. buck all on the SAME DAY on his BIRTHDAY and he'll always have better stuff to brag about.

Yeehaw.

The following link takes you to an article that gives the site that had the photo's I have searched and found nothing. But while formatting this comment our Kansas City channel gave about 3 minutes to this news item.

Navy commandos in new prisoner abuse probe

A reporter found the photos, which since have since been removed from public view, while researching the prosecution of a group of SEALs who allegedly beat prisoners and photographed one of them in degrading positions. Those photos, taken with a SEAL’s personal camera, have not been publicly released.

The images were posted to the internet site Smugmug.com. The woman who posted them told AP they were on the camera her husband brought back from Iraq. She said her husband, who does not appear in photos with prisoners, had returned to Iraq.

A Sig with a high beam and a Sony videocam, nice equipment. It looks like an interrogation session. What's the problem?

Enough is Enough. The SEALS are trained individual and the public owes a big thank you for defending freedom from this scumbags Islamic terrorist.

I think we have to appeal to every Congressman, Senator, and the President itself to protect this brave Sailors who are willing to sacrifice so you and I can be free.

This is pure BS. My support is 200 percent with any NAVY SEALS.

"Mess with the best and die with the rest".

I think too much free press endangers national security.

Well, if all of them are guilty, why not start a bombing campaign directed at each news station?

SEALs are not above reproach. Lets not deify them just yet. Do a search on them here at FR and you'll find that some have been arrested for petty theft, murder, etc. Remember that they are only human too. Some of them smoke too much. Some of them drink too much beer. Etc..

Margaret Hasan, Nick Berg, Daniel Perl; those were politically correct photos demonstrating proper prisoner treatment.

MSM should run split screen, side by side coverage of prisoner abuse.

we lost 51 marines in fallujah, and had countless others who lost arms and legs.

an insurgent prisoner is bleeding a little from the mouth, and the media is concerned.

I've seen the photos and there is NOTHING in them indicative of abuse.

hey, i'm right there with you, but you may remember, before the end of the major combat ops. that a few of our helo guys were captured and then either released OR rescued. if i remember correctly, it was an army apache pilot and copilot (if those are the correct terms), and one is from georgia. that being said, there have been no prisoners taken by the jihadists that have been released that i can recall.

Who the hell cares!? I actually commend these Navy SEALs for giving the Islamofacists a taste of their own medicine. (Not beheading and mutilation, we are not sub-humans like they are). So I say OOH-RAH!!
