Petty Officer 2nd Class Matthew McCabe, who has been charged
with mistreating an Iraqi suspect in the bloody slayings of four U.S. contractors,...
Law: American heroes are arraigned for allegedly punching a terrorist in wartime. What happens to Tiger Woods isn't vital to our country's future. What happens to Matthew McCabe, Julio Huertas and Jonathan Keefe is.
People are more likely to recognize the names of Tiger's alleged bimbo eruptions than the names of these three Navy SEALs we sent into battle. They are not household names in a nation consumed with Climate Gate, the public option and the antics of billionaire athletes.
An administration consumed with apologies has said the architect of 9/11's massacre, Khalid Sheik Mohammed, must be given all the constitutional rights and privileges of the Americans he murdered. Our justice system, we are told, must be an example to the world, as if that will impress jihadists making IEDs in some faraway hideout.
McCabe, Huertas and Keefe neither need nor deserve to be made examples to impress anybody. If they are court-martialed, the only thing impressed upon foreign terrorists will be U.S. weakness. And that will invite more terrorism as surely as our shameful withdrawal from Somalia after Americans were dragged through the streets of Mogadishu inspires Osama bin Laden.
They will know we make war on our own people — from CIA operatives who gather the intel that helps keep us alive to members of Navy SEAL Team 10 who were dropped into harm's way to capture Ahmed Hashim Abed, mastermind behind the killing, burning and mutilation of four American contractors working for Blackwater USA in Fallujah, Iraq, in March 2004. Their bodies were then hung from a bridge over the Euphrates River.
Bump!
They shoulda shot the bastard.
There are 538 members of Congress not worthy of licking these Seals boots.
I don’t just want them freed. I want the guys who charged them cashiered from service. Out. They aren’t worthy.
Absolutely! America's finest BUMP!
(thanks for posting, Kaslin)
GRRRRRREAT thinking! Taking this absurdity to its logical conclusion.
There needs to be a clause in the oath to defend the constitution on how to dispose of those domestic enemies who have taken the oath.
Kas, this is a travesty encouraged by our new Administration. This prosecution must be stopped immediately.
Everyone must work hard to stop this. Contact your House of Representatives and Senators.
Meanwhile, I will pray for justice.
Plan A.
