Navy SEALs Face Assault Charges for Capturing Most-Wanted Terrorist
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.

Navy SEALs Face Assault Charges for Capturing Most-Wanted Terrorist
This is one of the most incredibly ridiculous stories that I have ever seen.
It’s not that I don’t believe it. I do. It’s that these SEALs would be brought up on ANY kind of charges because a murdering son of a bitch named Ahmed Hashim Abed got a bloody lip in the process of being captured.
Assault charges? Against our Navy SEALs? Am I the only one that sees the unbelievably PC hand of the Obama administration at work here? Am I the only one that sees the biggest appeaser to ever inhabit the White House doing his thing? Or, maybe, having it done at his behest?
Matthew McCabe, a Special Operations Petty Officer Second Class (SO-2), is facing three charges: dereliction of performance of duty for willfully failing to safeguard a detainee, making a false official statement, and assault.
Petty Officer Jonathan Keefe, SO-2, is facing charges of dereliction of performance of duty and making a false official statement.
Petty Officer Julio Huertas, SO-1, faces those same charges and an additional charge of impediment of an investigation.
OK, there will be a few *do-gooders* that aren’t going to like what I have to say, but, that’s OK, I can live with it.
Once upon a time, this piece of garbage would have been brought in beat ALL to hell and back, he would have been kept alive, but just barely. He would have been interrogated and once the desired information was extracted, he would have been unceremoniously disposed of.
But, that was before we forgot how to fight wars. That was before we lost the definition of the word VICTORY! That was before we had our warfighting strategy dictated to us by the likes of Nouri al-Maliki and Hamid Karzai. And it was long before we became the WUSSIES that are more concerned with the RIGHTS of WAR CRIMINALS than we are with the safety of our own people!
FoxNews.com obtained the official handwritten statement from one of the three witnesses given on Sept. 3, hours after Abed was captured and still being held at the SEAL base at Camp Baharia. He was later taken to a cell in the U.S.-operated Green Zone in Baghdad.
The SEAL told investigators he had showered after the mission, gone to the kitchen and then decided to look in on the detainee.
“I gave the detainee a glance over and then left,” the SEAL wrote. “I did not notice anything wrong with the detainee and he appeared in good health.”
I am taking this Navy SEAL at his word. Anyone have a problem with that?
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.
Read the above blockquote again, read it very carefully. He made his abuse complaint to IRAQI authorities. Now, I am NOT a conspiracy theory kind of guy, my regular readers know that, but suppose Ahmed Hashim Abed actually was in great condition when he was turned over to the Iraqis? Suppose they conspired to make the SEALs look bad and punched Abed in the mouth in an effort to make that happen? It is not out of the realm of possibility.
Suppose a Navy SEAL actually DID punch Abed? Do you really care? I know I damned sure don’t!
F$%^K Me. There is so many ways to be pissed about this I can’t even figure out which one to post about.
Let’s just say this. I hope the SEAL(s) DID punch him…and more’n once. If that is the case I also hope NOTHING happens to him.
However, Realistically . . .I agree with Fred’s Theory and think it HIGHLY likely.
This sandturd was handed over to Iraqi Authorities at which point THEY conspired with him to make the SEALs look bad. I doubt it was even this peckerheads idea….So they roughed him up a touch and gave him back with explicit instructions on how to proceed with a complaint that could gain ground….SEALs being so honor bound and under IMMENSE scrutiny to uphold BO’s PC BS of course followed through.
Either way this is TOTAL HORSE SHIT.
We have already nearly bred the resistance, revolution and fight out of the American DNA why the F@#$k are we trying to imprison the wee bit that is left? Never mind…we know the answer.
OK…let’s see. Fighting with someone that you are trying to capture or fighting with someone that is trying to capture you…there are going to be some lips bloodied. I would be willing to bet one of the SEALs got a few cuts or scrapes on him…so can he counter-file for assault ???
This is such a stupid charge and should not even merit the time it took to type out the paperwork.
HEY Navy !!!!…throw this case out…you have better things to do with your time.
These guys should be getting medals…not criminal charges.
Holy Shit Maynard!!!!
What is this frikken country coming to? Fred, the only thing I got to say is, it don’t take long for this kind of shit to get spread around (I’ll do my part) and one of these day’s, (and soon) these booger eating morons are going to call on people like these seals to protect their worthless asses and they will turn their back to them(I hope) and give them an over the shoulder one fingered salute, a well deserved one at that. Let
the PC pussy assed bleeding heart scumbags fight their own type of war.
They’ll watch, and can you blame them?
Just when you think you have seen every form of stupid left wing crap possible… (and Yes, Elizabeth, Lefturds REALLY are this freakin STOOPID!!!), I see something like this. I am beyond the angry level and going toward White Hot Rage on this one! The Haditha Marines was outrageous enough, now this.
It seems as there is no difference. Our LEO’s are fighting the same thing. They can’t do the job they are trained to do because of the PC liberal ass, black robed pukes throw the cases out because some scumbag attorney comes up with some stupid F’n habeus tofuckus law.
Is it any wonder they want to bring people to justice when their hands are tied by the PC crowd. How in the hell did they get to be in charge??
Ask the silent majority. They’ll tell you that they yelled louder than we did.
I think the SEALs will learn from this and next time “take no prisoners” it just ain’t worth it. You can’t get any information from them anymore after having to read them their rights. Prisons to gain information is now a thing of the past. Just shoot the bastards and get it over. No more prisoners—war is not a game to be played by weak pussy politicans like BHO.
I’m still too angry to make a coherent post about this. I asked, and Fred said good to go with a steal, so more anger over at CLO…
SF, you got it man..! Screw it, just kill the bastards, and if NCIS gets to close out in the field? Well then they should have stayed at a desk like their MOS calls for…
After all, isn’t this the sort of crap that American Troops invented fraging for..?
Patrick, never thought I’d think “friendly fire” could be useful, but your NCIS point makes me think differently on that. Oops!!! I agree, with ya’ll, they should just put up the black flag… no quarter for terrorists.
OT Note to Texas Fred: I LOVE the new photo! The best statement is often that one pic that’s worth a thousand words!!!!! I see you found it!!!!
Really?
The SEALs, those beautiful SOBs, who are the epitome of individual elite fighting forces (well, except for the standard 0311, of course), managed to capture a freakin’ wanted and named terrorist and the POS only had a bloody freakin’ lip?
Really?
Does this little idiot know how freakin’ lucky he is to still be sucking oxygen? And he’s going to kick this pile of bovine excrement into the fan?
REALLY??
(Lord, grant me the serenity to hold steady for just one shot…)
What the hell has the US Military become. Brought up on charges for punching the enemy in the mouth? Give me a freaking break. If I’m sitting on that court marshall; those SEALS are free and out the door in five minutes. Lesson to be learned don’t take prisoners; NO QUARTER!.
Unbelievable!! The offspring of pig sperm claims to have been punched and our DOD wants to discipline these men? These men who risked their lives to defend this nation are being accused by pig scum who killed Americans and hung their bodies off a bridge so they could be mutilated. This freaking ain’t right. They should have taken him out rather than bring him in.
the main problem is you can not frag the ones that really need fraging.
I am not sure of their exact address, but the general area is Washington D.C.
Yep…lesson learned. Next time tell him he has the right to remain silent ” FOREVER “….then shove a frag down his shorts and toss him out a door….hopefully a UH-60 ‘Black Hawk’ door at 3000 feet.
Next thing you know they will be having ‘ War Crimes ‘ trials for all the men and women who has served in the Mid-East.
So he got hit? Boo Hoo. I’ll give a damn when I have some time.
As some may know, and others not, I’m a proud Squid. Boton is the first to remind me, and my love for Top John and Boton goes beyond the boundaries of branches of service, and my cousin is on a SEAL team as I type this so I have special emotions on this issue.
This is easy… Allow the SEALs to converse with their accusers behind the office… in the alley… alone…
You see, SEALS are off limits to general prosecution. They don’t play by the typical rules of engagement for a specific reason. They are asked to do things that the elite soldier could not fathom; every day.
Don’t believe me? Read the Lone Survivor by Marcus Lutrell.
Hey lpbo…you don’t need an exact address…just set missle guiding system to coordinates N 38.897612 - W77.036366 <<< that should take care of all the un-wanted garbage around there.
Fred,
I’m still so damned angry about this, that I can barely type this comment! What a bunch of total Schumer!!! You are right on target….the Obamination, supposed CIC, has hamstrung our troops over there with his total BS ROE and now this crap (Schumer).
SEALS are one of the best Special Ops outfits we have. Boy, I tell you what, this kind of Bull Schumer PC stuff will get some of our best troops killed over there!!!!! And what the hell is wrong with the flag rank and field grade officers over there to put up with this PC crap???? I’m so F$#$%ing mad, I could chew nails and spit tacks….like my Dad used to say.
Glad he’s in Heaven and not here to see this going on! He started on a Normandy beach and worked inland from there. This Schumer is even worse than ‘Nam!!!! I’m going to end this right here….I can’t write about this anymore!!!
KEEP YOUR POWDER DRY!
Some times the printed word does not bring about the anger that I have pent up over this issue…I could just as easily ditto the mad Irishman’s comment because I’m also Irish but all of you within shouting range if you don’t hear every friggin cuss word in the book and those not in the book when I click on “Submit Comment”, then you are not listening!
Did ya hear me?…my neighbors just did!
FUBAR!
The three seals should be rewarded for restraining themselves and not sending Ahmed Hashim Abed on to his kingdom of virgins.
If these me are found guilty in a CM, the terrorist will have won again. I would like to know who was the convening authority for this CM to check out just how PC they and the Navy had become.
Such is life in the world of Barack Obama. This is disgusting, but not surprising, hell the left says they would give Osama binLaden a trial. I can’t stand this moron in the White House much longer, it is exactly this type of story that has the extremists laughing at us.
This is absolutely disgusting. An enemy POS got a boo boo? I would prefer a sucking chest wound for him, but that would make it a wee bit difficult to get any useful intel out of him.
The folks involved need to be very careful about pissing off the SEALs…
Sighing very heavily now!!
This goes beyond stupidity for these SEALS to be brought up on charges like this. All because of a bloody lip on a man who was responsible for the murder of at least four men. There is something definitely wrong with this picture.
that was before we forgot how to fight wars. That was before we lost the definition of the word VICTORY!
The nonsense about a “just war” is undoing the American military.
Shortly, my young cousin will be shipped out. He’s completing his training with the USMC. And what will he face as a result of this crazy war-waging “tactic”?
He should not of been brought back alive. Period.
Any interrogation professional would have known this.
Always cool down a “hot potato” before handling it.
General George S. Patton would hang his head in shame at the treatment our military gets at the hands of this administration.
Then he would kick some ass!!
Well, do we really expect anything different? I mean it’s a muzzie in custody of the infidels, and the head muzzie isn’t about to piss off any of his brother muzzies by stopping this sham….Personally I think this should be a wake up call to all those in the field, leave no witnesses only corpses.
