Notorious terrorist captured - SEAL captors arrested
First we had Congressman John Murtha accusing US Marines of atrocities in Haditha, Iraq - a blatant lie based on false information supplied by the enemy. Those Marines had to face an arduous multi-year trial despite the obvious fabrication of evidence, and it is still not over for some. Next we have the Obama administration seeking to soothe Muslim fears about "backlash" after a Muslim Major commits the first successful act of terrorism on our soil since 9/11, while they withhold evidence about the case from Congress and do little to investigate the nature of the attack. Now we have the spectre of seeing three U.S. Navy SEALs arrested because the terrorist they captured claims he was punched!
Who is the enemy here? Four SEALs captured Ahmed Hashim Abed, codenamed "Objective Amber" on September 3rd. Abed was the ringleader of the group who ambused four security contractors in Fallujah in 2004, and hung their burned bodies on a bridge.
But now he is claiming he got a bloody lip. and the Navy is prosecuting! These people are insane!
Give the SEALs a medal for a dangerous, thankless job well done, and suggest that Abed get on his knees and thank God he wasn't captured by some of his own kind.
What I want to see is an investigation of the Navy legal team and the chain of command that ordered this! When they are uncovered and exposed, they need to be stripped of rank and summarily dismissed - maybe into the hands of the kind folks of Fallujah. Outrage doesn't begin to describe this travesty.
I'm sure this administration will want these SEALs given a fair trial at an appropriate venue. To demonstrate their fairness and balance to the terrorists, they'll probably choose GITMO.
