Navy SEALs Face Assault Charges for Capturing Most-Wanted Terrorist
Fox News ^ | Tuesday, November 24, 2009 | By Rowan Scarborough

Posted on 11/24/2009 11:45:09 AM PST by Terrence DoGood

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 for their trouble, three of the SEALs, members of the Navy's elite commando unit, are now facing criminal charges, sources told FoxNews.com.

The three have refused non-judicial punishment — called an admiral's mast — and requested a trial by court-martial.

Ahmed Hashim Abed, whom the military code-named "Objective Amber," told investigators he was punched by his captors — and he had the bloody lip to prove it.

Now, instead of being lauded for bringing to justice a high-value target, three of the SEAL commandos, all enlisted, face assault charges and have retained lawyers.

If this republic survives this, our posterity will read about this time in history and be utterly dumbfounded that this great country once stooped so low.

You know that cartoon seems correct except with the way things are going now, the one holding the gun should be the one who gets his rights read to him.

Well said.

The media reporting this (It will just be Fox News) will bring this issue front and center of political correctness gone mad. Screw the liberal pansy MSM enough Americans are now awake to not fall for their load of crap.

Where's Joe Plugs Biden's JAG son.

Remember the fuss the MSM made about him "serving his country" when he was deployed to Iraq as a lawyer?

I wondered then if these America hating leftist were envisioning him doing exactly this? country

“My last 5 years I served under Bill Clinton. Most of those I served with either disliked or despised him. A few even thought he was OK. Even though he was bad, he was not that bad and nobody imagined it could get worse under an American President - after all, it was bad under Jimmy Carter, too.”

Thank you for your service. I too thought Clinton was fairly repulsive during the whole monica thing, ChiCom thing, etc, but while I wished impeachment upon him, I never wished anything like harm befalling him, like lightening strikes, the way I do with Obama. It is perhaps an unChristian thing to wish for upon our enemies, but it is what it is. The Devil won’t change.

Not in Obama-Holder Muslim PC world, any American or Anglo can be murdered with no consequences (see KSM, Hasan), punch a terrorist, a Liberal lawyer will put you in prison.

Welcome to the world of Democrats and sucicidal Liberal Allah appeasers.

I just really hope these guys are truly innocent of any wrongdoing.

I am giving them the benefit of the doubt all the way, but for some reason that I can’t put my finger on, I have concerns.

Bring our troops home. We have too many domestic enemies here to rid ourselves of before we can effectively fight foreign enemies.

After I read this book, it gave profound repect for the Navy SEALs.

Thank you Seal Team 10 for giving your lives to spread freedom. Praise God Marcus Lutrell lived to tell the tale.

Sorry that the leaders of this Nation have turned their back on you. Most of us have not.

GOD BLESS OUR SEALs!

I got an idea. What if about 10,000 pissed off Americans storm the Court Room in NYC, drag KSM out by his hair and hang him from the nearest lamppost? That’d put an end to this “He punched me” shit.

Refuse orders, get court martialed.

Obey orders and find yourself on trial for ‘war crimes’.

Remember Ft.Hood? That was the first terrorists attack on our soil since 911.

Drop that load of BS and back away slowly.
