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.

The Blackwater guys saved my bacon more than once so I feel especially close to them. This #$#%% pos should have gotten a bullet in the gut rather than a bloody lip. Grrrrr

Real men vs. those who overcompensate with their flailing tempers.

Need we say more?

I was thinking about their shoes, sandals and boots the first time I saw them... Wondering if they chose them themselves randomly...or were their selections planned. Considering they each had black shorts on. I love pics, I’ll take pics.... We can appreciate beauty. ALL of the male vets and actives should post obligatory pics for us. :) I mean, how many threads have we had to endure with helen thomas and female pics. The TTIUWP will take on new meaning. TTIUWPOGIU (This thread is useless without pics of guys in uniform) OR TTIUWHP... (this thread is useless without hero pics)

8-)

What I want to see is an investigation of the Navy legal team and the chain of command that ordered and condoned this arrest

Don't worry, S/A Fox and his 65 virgins are on the way!

One should court martial the officer who ordered that this nonsense should proceed.

I agree. Welcome to Free Republic.

You’re right. Every Dowd thread has mandatory Catherine Zeta-Jones pics. (she is one of the most beautiful women, i will admit)

I was looking at their muscles. Real men, not metrosexuals.

Army command did this and their JAGs according to the attorney. Shame on them for doing this to our men.

It’s time for all real Americans to raise their voices, get behind and support these bravest of the brave. Don’t let this happen!

Disgrace this administration once and for all.

Mr. Puckett also said he doubted they would bring the terrorist to America to appear before the court. However, they will bring the 5 worst ones at Guantanamo here.

With Obama at the head, hey, he doesn’t want nobody messin’ with his peeps.

And they don’t need to keep him in a military prison. See how much redemption he gets over at Shah-Shank.
