Absolutely Outrageous!!!

**WARNING - LANGUAGE ALERT**

This seriously pisses me off!

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 a captain'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.

Neal Puckett, an attorney representing McCabe, told Fox News the SEALs are being charged for allegedly giving the detainee a “punch in the gut.”

“I don’t know how they’re going to bring this detainee to the United States and give us our constitutional right to confrontation in the courtroom,” Puckett said. “But again, we have terrorists getting their constitutional rights in New York City, but I suspect that they’re going to deny these SEALs their right to confrontation in a military courtroom in Virginia.”

United States Central Command declined to discuss the detainee, but a legal source told FoxNews.com that the detainee was turned over to Iraqi authorities, to whom he made the abuse complaints. He was then returned to American custody. The SEAL leader reported the charge up the chain of command, and an investigation ensued.

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.

Intelligence sources identified Abed as the ringleader, but he had evaded capture until September.
Are you FUCKING kidding me??? This piece of human excrement is the mastermind behind atrocities that go beyond all comprehension, and because he gets a widdle biddy bloody lip, our service men are being criminally charged??? What the HELL is wrong with people?? I am simply aghast that these men, who are overseas fighting for OUR freedom, and managed to capture a "most wanted" terrorist, can possibly be criminally charged for DOING THEIR JOBS!!! Goddamit!!! How the fuck are we supposed to fight the war on terror when the men and women who are fighting for this country can't even do the job for which they signed on? Punched in the gut? Bloody lip?? Let's revisit what this piece of shit masterminded, shall we?
I truly fear the direction this country is going.

  1. Yeah. A bloody lip? Every football player at my high school would have been court-martialed during the dodgeball unit in P.E.
