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.

I pray for strength for these Navy Seals and their families thru their ‘legal’ ordeal. And i do hope that an alleged busted lip is the least of the captured perp’s worries. I also pray that some sense of justice comes to the families and friends of the Blackwater employees who were brutally murdered, dragged thru the streets, set on fire and then hanged from that bridge in Iraq.

Yes: This is the reason I dont buy the allusion that this court martial is to protect the Seals.

They were offered a Captains Mast and they refused it, and asked for the court martial.

Gotta wonder: if the O is he11-bent on crippling our military, he must have a discrete force loyal to him waiting in the wings.

I feel like Bill Paxton in Aliens "This can't be hapening, man. This can't be happening".

It was a disgrace what happened to the Marines in Haditha and it is a disgrace what is happening to the SEALs.

This country does not deserve these young men. We are not worthy of them.

If that is so, and it comes to pass, two words:

Let’s roll.

I hope it doesn’t, but think and fear it may.

The SEAL need to come to Washington and do their thing

Seal Team 10. All kia in Afghanistan, except one - Marcus Lutrell.

God bless our Navy Seals.

Protecting Americans is not a high priority for the Obamster, rather protecting the rights of those who would kill us is....

[Logical me]

This may be the final straw....

Most of us are at the ready.

[Scythian]

shouldn’t we not be posting pictures like this?

[fortheDeclaration]

UNBELIEVBLE!

[FrankR]

I hope they beat these phony-ass charges and join with Glenn's newphew and come home.

I'm wondering if Obama's security guard had the occasion to accost someone to protect him, if he would then turn around and prosecute the security guard?

He's probably be like Rosie O'donnell, who hates guns - and thinks you shouldn't be allowed to have one - but her security detail is all armed.

People who subscribe to these double-standards should catch a boat and go start their own country somewhere else.

Why do you say that?

The Farrakhan Army of Islam.

[Thombo2]

If i read the article correctly,one terrorist/sadistic mass murderer claims he was punched while in captivity and 3 navy seals who deny the allegation may face court martial?This is a travesty.

[PJammers]

They were offered nonjudicial punishment. Since they refused they will automatically receive a courts-martial.

There are other charges such as giving a false statement and obstruction of an investigation.

They may get off of the assault charge but the other charges I’m not so sure.

...a discrete force loyal to him ...

Loyal?

Probably.

Competent?

Not so much.

“he must have a discrete force loyal to him waiting in the wings”

God I pray this is the case! Bring it on BarryO! We are ready for your pantywaste hacks who think they know something about advanced tactics.

The one good thing about this sort of incident is that when the “awkward time” is over, it will help military members, if previously wavering, decide which fork of the road to take.
