Minor says Majied didn't give him his previous name, "and I didn't press the matter."

So they're admitting they just took his word for it.

Sorry. They don't take Bush's word for anything, so everybody's got to be completely verified, too.

I have sent this story, along with other information that I have gathered on Ahmad to AuthentiSeal.

When I talked to AuthentiSeal on Sunday, we just laughed that this guy wouldn't give just his BUD/S Class Number. I believe he is a fake. Your Class number is unclassified information.

Not just being a SEAL, but also that he retired at the rank he told someone that he had.

There have only been ten in the entire history of the USN. Their pictures are on the web, and none were wearing a Trident, or listed being a SEAL in their bio.

If anyone is interested in finding out more, it appears he is an alumnus of Albany State University, although I have yet to find anytihing mentioning his original name.

"SEALs deployed to VN for six month tours, so 'five years in Vietnam' seemed highly improbable. I knew lots of multiple tour 'real deal Vietnam SEALs' during my peacetime duty in the teams in the 1980s, and I never heard of this guy.

"This only took a couple of minutes time for 'amateurs' on Free Republic to check out. The 'professional' journalists at the AP must have been to busy to do this basic checking."

In an interview with WorldNetDaily, however, Minor says he has no reason to disbelieve Majied's story.

"I really trust this guy," he said. "I believe he's a real straight shooter."

Minor says Majied didn't give him his previous name, "and I didn't press the matter."

The vet has received "nasty calls" since the issue has been publicized, Minor says, adding, "This is a very peaceful guy. … There's a peace about his voice."

Minor says Majied home schools his seven children. "These are really upstanding people," he told WND.

I shouldn’t do this, I’ll probably get in mucho trouble, but every word my “Band of Bothers” Majied says is true.

I too am a Navy Seal, a Green Beret and an Army Ranger too, and some other things I can’t tell you about, hush, hush and all that.

Anyway, Majied was a straight shooter and very peaceful man, we used him extensively.

When we were on secret missions, we’d use our inflatable boats and land on shore, sometimes we’d have 6, 8 or even a dozen boats. Majied was our specialist in charge of holding the bow lines (ropes) of the boats while we completed our secret missions. Nobody could hold the ropes like my brother in arms Majied! After 5 grueling years of holding ropes, Majied found Islam and rotated out of the service.

/sarcasm and lies, and apologies to Majied if he really was a Navy Seal.

He says he's a former SEAL ..no problemo...

Produce your records....

Very simple....But not even Kerry will do it....

Expecting people to take what you say as fact without proof...is the mark of a con man ..a liar

Wannabes and liars come in every stripe and from every walk of life....and every social strata

These low lifes have one thing in common....Lies...

Those who are so mentally feeble that they cannot tell the truth...will not tell the truth..have NO BUSINESS being in positions of power over others....they cannot be trusted with authority and power.... jobs that demand "public trust"....

imo

A muslim AND a Democrat. Yep, I absolutely trust everything he says.

I continue to be stunned by the sheer stupidity/bias of the MSM.

Bush was a "playboy"

And one of the reasons J. Effing joined the VVAW was to fondle a Fonda.

Minor spoke to Majied this afternoon to try to verify the issue, and he said the veteran has refused to speak to other media about the issue.

No wonder.

I really don't care how "upstanding" and "nice" this guy is----if he went on the record with a major news organization (AP) and made a statement, he made himself a part of the campaign story.

The reporter, Elliott Minor says the Albany, Ga., man, Ahmad Majied, doesn't show up on lists of former SEALs because he changed his name when he converted to Islam after leaving the Navy.

And his real name is ?? If he refuses to say it, refuse to believe the source.

Straight from the Dan Rather School of Journalism.

I wonder if this intrepid urinalist could tell us the number of the SEAL team that this man was supposedly in.

Might pass this one along, another example of blatant MSM bias.

Hmmmmm, I see. This is a fine standard on which to base factual reporting.

And he "knows" the "vet" has received "nasty calls" because the "vet" told him so in his peaceful voice?

BEAM ME UP

The real story here seems to be that phony war heroes, like apparently Mr.Majied, are lining up behind one of their own in this election cycle.

Might be a key demographic this year for Kerry as according to the authentiseal website, phony "seals" outnumber the genuine article by at least a 20 to one margin.

I was a secret astronaut for NASA in the glorious 70s!
But that was before I changed my name and I can't tell you what it used to be.
But I did get four purple hearts!
