Fox News interviewed Neil Puckett, the attorney obtained by one of the accused Navy Seals this morning. He stated that instead of giving our SEALS a consternation letter, harsher punishment was pursued for the SEALS in regards to the allegations by the terrorist detainee.

He also mentioned JAGS giving these SEALS poor counsel (...I’d bet they wanted them to admit guilt and not pursue the court option.) He said these SEALS are willing to defend their names and innocence. Good for them! They will be supported to the end on this one!

Based on what Mr. Puckett said, the hearings will be taking place in Virginia in January. I wonder if the public can attend those hearings.

All of the news articles lead differently. They make it sound like the SEALS requested a Court Martial to clear their name to not have a mark on the records. No matter what... political correctness pushed this ahead. It disgusts me beyond words of thought. My prayers are with these SEALS.

I wonder if there is a defense fund for the three.

Thanks for all the info, 444Flyer.

He stated that instead of giving our SEALS a consternation letter, harsher punishment was pursued for the SEALS in regards to the allegations by the terrorist detainee.

Rush has had some awesome callers on his show today discussing this case. One contended this was "payback" for the SEAL's operation that killed the Somali pirates. The chain of command under obama were livid because they wanted a "peaceful" resolution to the incident. Both callers talked about the military leadership (or lack of)that would allow these charges to be preferred in the first place. It seems that our military leadership has a "bit" to be desired in protecting their own. PC rules are running our military right now. Maj Gen Charles Cleveland (convening authority in this SEALs case) should be the next most ridiculed general after Casey (Mr. Ft Hood Diversity Queen). They should both resign.

He [Neal Puckett, civilian defense atty] also mentioned JAGS giving these SEALS poor counsel.

Get out of here! /s Neal Puckett is defending SSGt Wuterich, the last remaining defendant from the Haditha incident who has still to receive his court martial.

Mr. Puckett also said he doubted they would bring the terrorist to America to appear before the court. However, they will bring the 5 worst ones at Guantanamo here.
