Navy Seals To Be Tried For Capturing A Bad Man

Ahmed Hashim Abed is considered responsible the atrocity pictured above. September 3rd of this year, three Navy Seals captured him. Since then accusations have risen charging these three, Petty Officer Second Class Matthew McCabe, Petty Officer Jonathan Keefe and Petty Officer Julio Huertas, with battery against Abed after his capture. The Seals deny they beat the terrorist. The Navy does not believe them and sought to punish them; but McCabe/Keefe/Huertas will have none of that, they demanded a court-martial. Essentially they have told the political wonks who want them guilty that they refuse to go along with the ruse. They want their honor, and they are willing to take their case to a court to get justice.

Good for them! I just wish they could get a civilian trial by jury in New York City, you know, the way those terrorists Eric Holder is sending up from Guantanamo are scheduled to receive. If, by some odd chance, they fail to get a favorable verdict from the Court Martial, they should insist on a civilian trial on appeal. For, even if they were guilty, no jury in this country would convict them for giving a fat lip to a butcher like Abed.
