SEALs on Trial?

I think the issue is not over a slap or punch to the face but rather the accusation that some of the SEALs provided false statements and impeded the investigation of the matter. That's a big "no-no" no matter what you actually did big or small.

The "Martha Stewart Rule" of military justice?

The fact that we are about to spend a significant amount of money prosecuting service members for doing their jobs due to what "appears" to be a minor injury- speaks volumes.

Unacceptable on a couple of levels.

Our troops deserve better.

Concur. Probably some douche bag at CENTCOM trying to to play CYA.

The story, as written, sounds outrageous. However, there might be a lot more to it than what Fox News published so far. It's not like they're a biased news agency or anything.

Biased toward who? Are they biased towards George Bush??? Republicans??? I wasn't aware that the SEAL teams were a right wing political organization worthy of being protected by the vast conspiracy.

Bash away at Fox News for all I care, but it's getting a little old and its certainly not relevant in this case.

I understand what you're getting at here, but the organized the killing of 4 American Security Agents and is still alive and really not all that hurt. He has a lot less to bitch about than his buddies who have met the SEALs.

Funny how these terrorists hate American Ways until it's time for a trial over here and then they're complaining of not having any rights or being treated harshly.

^^ Couldn't agree more.

Let the SEALs do what they do without having to worry about legal rammifications, a la Lone Survivor.

Ok, so the mastermind of this....

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...

is getting treated like this? I'd have a hard time not torturing the hell out of this guy if I captured him. GO SEALs. Hooyah! Hopefully this all turns out well for these guys...

This tells us something about the mindset at the top of our military today, but, unfortunately, it says more about the Army. This is the same service that looked the other way while Maj. Hasan was talking like an islamic idiot for several years before he finally went ballistic. They must really be scared of something, and it would be hard to make the case that it all started w/ the current administration. OH, and BZ/gutsy move by the Seals to insist on a courts martial proceeding rather than taking NJP for something they didn't deserve. Just my $0.02.

WTF. The SEALs captured a HVT, a guy who kill any of us in a heartbeat, and we are now second guessing the way that the SEALs took him down? With the mess that this is creating, I am a little sad that our boys brought this scumbag back alive.

Pending the outcome of the Court Martial we can hope that the result of all this is that more terrorist leaders start turning up in body bags instead of alive to complain and stand trial. Dead men tell no tales.

The tough part about this is that Fox News is giving it international media coverage. All the next hadji has to do is read this article and follow suit with his comrade. Why kill SEALs/soldiers/Marines when you can take 'em out of action with an investigation? This is all another way for hadji to use public opinion and the American media against our forces.
