From your Navy Times link, noObama, SEALs charged in alleged assault of detainee, the Convening authority is Maj Gen Charles Cleveland. Hmmmmmm, wonder how his career is going to fair after this stink gets out.

.........Army Maj. Gen. Charles Cleveland, SOCCent commander, preferred the charges against the SEALs and will serve as the convening authority as the cases proceed to court-martial, tentatively scheduled for mid-January,...........

........"Neal Puckett, a defense attorney who is representing McCabe, said the SEALs are being essentially charged for allegedly giving the detainee “a punch in the gut.”

They are expected to plead not guilty when they appear at their arraignment. “They are all together and they all maintain that they are innocent of these charges,” said Puckett, a retired Marine Corps lieutenant colonel and judge advocate...............

..............Puckett offered no details about the alleged incident, but said that “in a combat environment, the handling of a detainee … these things happen all the time and can easily be justified as maintaining [control of] a detainee.”..............

Neal Puckett ping, lily and mom.

Fox News interviewed Neil Puckett, the attorney obtained by one of the accused Navy Seals this morning. He stated that instead of giving our SEALS a consternation letter, harsher punishment was pursued for the SEALS in regards to the allegations by the terrorist detainee.

He also mentioned JAGS giving these SEALS poor counsel (...I’d bet they wanted them to admit guilt and not pursue the court option.) He said these SEALS are willing to defend their names and innocence. Good for them! They will be supported to the end on this one!

Based on what Mr. Puckett said, the hearings will be taking place in Virginia in January. I wonder if the public can attend those hearings.

Thanks for the ping. Just finished reading up on this on the net. McCabe has a great lawyer in Puckett. Still can’t believe that this is happening. WTF!!!!!!!
