Navy charges SEALs for assaulting terrorist
Here’s some more moral building in the Obama military…
FoxNews is reporting that three Navy SEALs are being charged with assault in the capture of one the FBI’s most wanted terrorists. Ahmed Hashim Abed is the supposed “mastermind of the murder and mutilation of four Blackwater USA security guards in Fallujah in 2004.”
The three SEALs will be arraigned separately on Dec. 7. Another three SEALs — two officers and an enlisted sailor — have been identified by investigators as witnesses but have not been charged.
FoxNews.com obtained the official handwritten statement from one of the three witnesses given on Sept. 3, hours after Abed was captured and still being held at the SEAL base at Camp Baharia. He was later taken to a cell in the U.S.-operated Green Zone in Baghdad.
The SEAL told investigators he had showered after the mission, gone to the kitchen and then decided to look in on the detainee.
“I gave the detainee a glance over and then left,” the SEAL wrote. “I did not notice anything wrong with the detainee and he appeared in good health.”
Lt. Col. Holly Silkman, spokeswoman for the special operations component of U.S. Central Command, confirmed Tuesday to FoxNews.com that three SEALs have been charged in connection with the capture of a detainee. She said their court martial is scheduled for January.
United States Central Command declined to discuss the detainee, but a legal source told FoxNews.com that the detainee was turned over to Iraqi authorities, to whom he made the abuse complaints. He was then returned to American custody. The SEAL leader reported the charge up the chain of command, and an investigation ensued.
Okay so let me get this strait. A Navy SEAL team monitors this guy for weeks; they plan, execute, and succeed in an insanely dangerous mission. After the target is captured, he’s turned over to the Iraqis, where he whines about a bloody lip. And now three of those SEALs have been charged with dereliction of duty?!
They should have left him laying in the sand.

@chels I know what you mean, its hard to find good help these days. People now days just don’t have the work ethic they used to have. I mean consider whoever wrote this post, they must have been working hard to write that good and it took a good bit of their time I am sure. I work with people who couldn’t write like this if they tried, and getting them to try is hard enough as it is.
I am bare impressed with the article I have just read. I wish the writer of desperatestate.com can continue to provide so much practical information and unforgettable experience to desperatestate.com readers. There is not much to say except the following universal truth: You will never know if someone has a secret and keeps it. I will be back.
This discussion is lively for sure – I will be back for sure!
