Update at bottom… I stepped out for 30 minutes and this comes up. Honestly, I was going to post only positive good-news stories today, but when I saw this there is no way in hell I was going to ignore it. Let me start this way…
Remember this photo?
The following story is about the Navy SEALS that tracked down and captured the ring leader of this disgusting show of peaceful Muslims.
These Navy SEALS should be having their very own ticker-tape parade, not going to court for punching some low-life piece of Dog Sh*t in the face. I can only hope that our military learns from this. From now on, when they capture a bad guy, I’m hoping he/she comes back without a beating heart!
Navy SEALs Face Assault Charges for Capturing Most-Wanted Terrorist
Tuesday, November 24, 2009 
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.
Complete story here.
This is a huge story as far as I’m concerned, yet these are the only outlets to even acknowledge the story today.

Out of all the Main Stream Media outlets, only Fox News understands the severity of these actions and has the guts to report it. Thank you Fox News!
I’d leave a comment but for once in my life, I’m speechless. God bless the SEALS.
What these pukes don’t seem to comprehend is the long lasting affect this has on enemy detentions in the future. If you are going to charge every grunt who gives some guy a bloody lip, as a group they will probably start to report more attempted escapes with a subsequent loss of prisoner lives. That’s a lot easier than doing the paperwork. The loss of the life then leaves them without intelligence gained from prolonged interrogation. It’s a lose, lose deal.
Some folks just can’t wrap their minds around the idea that we are at war. Enemies who fear us are far more likely to cut and run or surrender. They ought to give those guys a medal, a few days off, a couple of “atta boys” and a steak or two and call it a day.
WTF?…we are living in an upsidedown world now. If this POS had his head sawed off in a video made public he wouldn’t be able to press charges.
God Bless our Navy SEALS…the best of the best!
I’m trying to find out if there is a way to show these 3 Navy Seals our support so they don’t think everyone agrees with this insanity.
Deirdre,
Great suggestion. We need someone that knows how to find out where they are stationed. Help anyone?
Gio-
I went to the Navy website and asked how we could show our support. All they could tell me was to try contacting the local recruiter.
Bob,
Do you know any of the particulars?
Where their stationed.
For how long.
Are they staying on base.
Is it ok to contact them.
Etc, etc…

Gio,
After giving me the info about the recruiter he ended the chat, so no particulars, sorry.
