Apparently to the Communist Left in shadow government (the one that Joe McCarthy and Roy Cohn tried to rout out in the 1950s) believe only US troops can be "warcriminals".
Put the prosecutors on trial for treason PLEASE.

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.

much of Hollyweird’s cooperation was due to the fact that
Soviet Russia was an ally.
“The military is sensitive to charges of detainee abuse highlighted in the Abu Ghraib prison scandal.”
...as long as our military is “sensitive to charges”..rather than a country focused on winning a war.
This is insane if true.
The source said intelligence briefings provided to the SEALs stated that "Objective Amber" planned the 2004 Fallujah ambush, and "they had been tracking this guy for some time."
The Fallujah atrocity came to symbolize the brutality of the enemy in Iraq and the degree to which a homegrown insurgency was extending its grip over Iraq.
The four Blackwater agents were transporting supplies for a catering company when they were ambushed and killed by gunfire and grenades. Insurgents burned the bodies and dragged them through the city. They hanged two of the bodies on a bridge over the Euphrates River for the world press to photograph.
Intelligence sources identified Abed as the ringleader, but he had evaded capture until September.
The military is sensitive to charges of detainee abuse highlighted in the Abu Ghraib prison scandal. The Navy charged four SEALs with abuse in 2004 in connection with detainee treatment.
Political Correctness gone mad. A terrorist reports abuse and it is taken seriously. The Abu Ghraib prison scandal, even though a rare and ludicrous event will enpower the liberals Obama and Holder to listen to every terrorist complaint and get them all lawyered up with rights. It does seem like when the enemy terrorists drags our guys bodies through streets, hangs them half-burnt, it pisses off Navy Seals.
While alleged predators here in Chicago “trip and fall” down the stairs at the precinct all the time.
BTTT
What general or admiral has the Convening Authority? He could end this nonsense with a one-line memo. A terrorist with a bloody nose. Indeed. What are we doing to those who step forward tp protect us?

I hope your insight proves to be correct!!!
I hope this crap is a joke, sadly if not I am not surprised.
It seems that this white house has no clue what we’re doing and that we’re in a war.
Makes me f-in puke all this crap.
We’re screwed... it’s over...
It was a series of short films by Frank Capra (who also made Mr. Smith Goes To Washington). The Hollywood Left hated Mr. Capra and his films because of his politics.
Obama’s fault
I can’t wait to see the military retention rates next year. (oh wait, they might be pretty good as there will be no jobs to go to)
“...this just in,....Patton to be retro-actively and postumously tried for detainee abuse of Nazis.”
Nazi attorney on talkshow: “Well, it depends on what you mean by holocaust. My clients desire to be comment on U.S. policies during WWII.”
That’s why you shoot them, dead men can’t talk!
Right?
Look for a mass exodus of guys not wanting to re-enlist under this madness.
Where is the “/sarc” tag?
