Navy SEALs Face Charges For Capturing Most-Wanted Terrorist
This is exactly the same kind of stupidity that has led to the Obama administration seeking to try enemy combatants [read: terrorists] in a civilian trial rather than a military tribunal. They’re handling war like it’s a police action, bestowing Constitutional rights on terrorists, and in this case, treating our soldiers like criminals for having done their job.
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 three of the SEALs who captured him are now facing criminal charges.The three, all members of the Navy’s elite commando unit, have refused non-judicial punishment — called an admiral’s mast — and have 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.
A bloody lip? Do you seriously believe that if a Navy SEAL lost control of his temper, the only injury sustained by his opponent would be a fat lip? These SEALs could have easily executed this scumbag and hidden the body out in the desert, but they obeyed the rules and brought him in to face justice. And this is how we repay our servicemen for doing their duty.
If Abed was already restrained and unable to defend himself when the alleged abuse occurred, that is a violation of the Uniform Code of Military Justice. And if that was the case, the SEALs should get a Captain’s Mast (a non-judicial disciplinary hearing) and perhaps a formal reprimand.
And then a round of beers at the Enlisted Men’s Club.
Thing is, these SEALs know they did nothing wrong, so they’re refusing the Captain’s Mast and insisting on a trial by court-martial. But by allowing this outrage to proceed, we’re setting a precedent that all a terrorist needs to do in order to incapacitate his captors is lodge a complaint against them (perhaps even punching himself in the face to fake a minor injury). Then the politically-correct leadership in our military will do the job the camel-humping jihadists couldn’t do: take our special forces off of the battlefield…perhaps even permanently.
As Commander-In-Chief, President Obama could — and should — step in and halt the ridiculous proceedings against these SEALs. But he won’t. He would rather continue the example set by President Bush’s shameful handling of the case of Border Patrol Agents Ramos & Compean.
It’s important to keep in mind the kind of “person” Abed is. This is his handiwork:
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.
