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.

When is enough enough? I have images that I could not possibly post here. They are so heinous and inhuman, it would turn stomachs.
Yet obama has said he would side with them if the “political winds turn ugly.”
How effing ugly does it have to get before Americans say NO MORE!?!?!
99% of the American public don’t know about it. 95% of the 99% would not give a damn once they know.
Exactly what I thought when I read this story! Pissing off Navy SEALs is not a formula for a long, happy life.
I have no idea what will cause the pressure cooker to explode, or if it ever will. Most American men have been completely neutered and sheepled into PC bliss ninnies, with their heads in the sand.
For me, I just choose to live in a CCW state, and carry every day.
I have to reread this again.
Are they going to require treating terrorists with respect? ALA hasan, and call them mentally ill?
They should have killed him. Dead men tell no tales....nor do they sue. End of story!
This makes me sick, too!
Those Americans won’t be home this Thanksgiving with their families. They will never be home again...
While the demonic blood thirsty perpetrator is probably having a catered Islamic friendly meal tonight courtesy of our tax dollars.
I can’t imagine, after be reminded by those pictures, the type of restraint our military must use on a regular basis when dealing with animals that would commit such heinous acts. Then the troops have to deal with having their hands tied behind their backs at every turn. They are being put into an impossible situation.
This is just hideous. I swear to GOD, I am getting more and more paranoid by the minute. I never even think I have seen everything anymore because I know, no matter when I sleep, or for how long, when I wake up, I am going to see something even more outrageous than I saw before I went to bed.
The whole thing is like watching one of those movies where the pressure builds up so much that the pressure release valve just blows right off.
I am watching it and hearing it everywhere I go. It’s wound way too tight already. I just don’t know anymore.
Let’s make it a whole bunch simpler. Tricare Prime is Hillarycare.
At the time that was done, was to promote disgust and was done with Somalia in mind. It was designed to shock and dismay and bring despair. The propaganda media of the Wahabis and their employees all were in on it. “The tactics employed against the Rangers in the Blackhawk Down incident relied on the belief that Americans could be reflexively trapped into defending unfavorable positions in attempts to recover bodies. The Anti-Coalition Forces probably felt sure that taunting Americans over the media would produce the desired impulsiveness. As the minutes lengthened into hours and the Marines responded with icy professionalism, the enemy may have come to the unpleasant realization that this was not the former administration and that other still more unwelcome surprises were in store for them.” - posted by Wretchard belmontclub*blogspot.com/2004_04_01
we are living in a parallel universe and we are in the wrong one.
Poor little muzzie got a fat lip, huh? I really don't give a crap how, when or why. He was responsible for the torture/mutilation, death and desecration of Americans.
Bring ALL the troops home, and unleash them on the domestic enemies in our midst that seek their/our destruction. Our political "leadership" is now far more dangerous to America than ANY Iraqi/Afghani.
It can’t go on, 444. It is getting to be too much. Something happened to me early this morning that literally shocked my senses. I did something that was purely involuntary that I thought I would never, ever do in a million years. This usurper is changing me in ways I don’t like, but I can’t stop it anymore. I am beginning to think and feel things I never thought I would ever feel, and I don’t like it.
I think this is true for a lot of people. You just can’t keep deliberately pushing every hot button that runs the gamut of human emotion without some fallout.
Is he too arrogant and narcissistic to realize what he is doing to the everyday good people of this country? Or is it deliberate? I tend to think it is a mixture of both.
He feels as if nothing can touch him. I think he is wrong.
We will overcome...somehow, someway, it will happen.
The accused has the right to request trial by court martial. This is definitely upping the stakes by the accused. Maybe they feel innocent of the charges.
They are correct to go with trial by courts-martial. The last thing they want is a political jack-ass calling the shot.
The charges stem from a bloody lip. I can't imagine capturing a guy like that without some injuries to the guy.
We as the normal part of society have *got* to keep our social safety valves.. (Pressure release valves) in check...so we can react appropriately when needed. Without humor, activities and distractions, explosion can occur. Walk away, get a great movie...a good fiction book, something that takes our minds off the unreal, bad news.. Has to be a “Politics free zone, daily”!!
