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 they don’t release him soon, he’ll sue for lost wages from his terrorism career.

I was given a letter from my Commander to sign for refusing to follow a direct order regarding the weal-being of a patient under my management. The order would have hurt the patient. I told my commander, that if he made me sign the Letter, I was going to go to 60 minutes and explain my case.

He left.

30 minutes later, he returned.

He presented me with a letter of Appreciation, and asked me to drop the issue. He was a commander who did not know anything about patient care, and he was a foreign medical graduate trained in what I would call a veterinary hospital. He and Maj. Nidal Hasan would have been very good friends.

I love diversity.

All I did was state a fact that this persecution of soldiers for doing a hard job, is a continuation of things that happened during the last Presidents term. Do you commonly attack posters for stating facts?

I have no derangement syndrome. I voted for Bush twice, and with the choice of Kerry or Gore am glad I did.

The real problem with the course of this country is party worship. Republicans will not and cannot save us from this financial and political mess that oozes poison from DC. At least not until they are made to face the fact that we either return the govt to the size authorized by the Constitution, or we die. Either party as currently configured, there is no other way out if we want to retain our Liberty. If you cannot see that far, what are you doing on this forum...Cheerleading?

I prefer to discuss ways of making things better, and not allowing the past to be airbrushed away. It is important that we remember that things haven't been really going well in this country for a lot longer than 1 year. They haven't been right since FDR started this train on the downhill track, and the Republicans have gotten on board and begun to party along with the libs.

Gotta be kidding me. So all a scumbag terrorist has to do now is punch himself or smack his head on a wall and his captors will be facing charges. Way too much of this crap went on under Bush and it isn’t getting better under Hussein. Just unbelievable!!

“Those men thought the world of GWB because he gave them the support they needed.”

Ping to that!

Not ONLY that, Marcus Lutrell GAVE GWB a patch from one of his SEAL buddies who died when they got ambushed...GWB kept that patch on his desk the rest of his term.

He loves those men.

"The Holder/Obama purposed destruction of honor and duty is being duly noted. The treachery of these democrats now ruling America is soon to be beyond tolerable."

It's intolerable right now. The Treason List gets longer and longer. Just finished folding in all of the Rats who voted for ObamaCare on Saturday night.

Was it very good?

Whoever is bringing these charges forth better check under their car. The SEAL’s brothers won’t be happy.

“Was it very good?”

No. It is very VERY good.

It’s a must read. Those dudes are built from iron.

The story is amazing - it makes Rambo look like a sissy schoolgirl!

It’s a darn good thing idiots like this weren’t in charge of the WWII military. I wonder how many we today claim to honor as “the greatest generation” would have been court-martialed by “leaders” like this?

Maybe this disgusting piece of crap in the White House hopes to discourage/parse the ranks of the military, and replace them with “HIS army..run the way HE wants it to be run, with people who will idolize HIM and obey HIM.”

Otherwise,why would this piece of crap turn this military upside down, demoralize it, deny it, criticize it, and prosecute it for doing its job? Why would this piece of crap, who hates American as it now stands, wish to further destroy it by damning the military?
