Thank God. There is some justice remaining in this world. Now I would like to have someone psychoanalyze the CentCom commander or whoever was the Army general that pressed charges against these guys.
According to the Virginian-Pilot:
"Questions about Abed’s treatment arose shortly before he was transferred to Iraqi custody, when the SEAL detachment commander noticed blood on Abed’s clothes.
He called a meeting of all the personnel who’d been in contact with Abed to ask them what happened. A day or two later, Demartino came forward, saying he’d seen McCabe punch Abed while Huertas and Keefe watched.
The matter was investigated, and made its way up the chain of command. When the three SEALs chose not to have the matter handled administratively, Army Maj. Gen. C.T. Cleveland, head of Special Operations Command Central, decided to proceed to courts-martial."
