Unbelievable. Three navy seal heroes face court-martial after capturing the Al-Qaeda leader who murdered four Blackwater USA security guards in Fallujah in 2004.
The Al-Qaeda leader had a bloody lip when he was arrested.
The USA Blackwater guards were burned, beaten, dragged through the streets of Fallujah and their decapitated bodies hung from a bridge over the Euphrates River on March 31, 2004.
FOX News reported, via Report on Arrakis:
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, sources told FoxNews.com.
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.
HotAir’s Allahpundit throws the US Seals under the bus.
Black Five is not amused.
Personally, I don’t tend to trust Al-Qaeda killers.
We all saw how the Haditha story turned out. That so-called massacre turned out to be a filthy piece of Al-Qaeda propaganda that the state-run media and John Murtha used to undermine our troops in Iraq.
Maybe it’s just me, but I tend to side with Navy Seals over Al-Qaeda killers any day.
