Victory Institute Action Alert January 9, 2009 In September, Navy SEALs captured Ahmed Hashim Abed - a most-wanted al Qaeda leader - during a nighttime raid. Abed is the suspected mastermind of a 2004 ambush that brutally murdered four Blackwater security contractors – including a former SEAL – in Fallujah, Iraq. The contractors were burned, mutilated, and suspended from a bridge. According to the terrorist himself and conflicting statements from another sailor, these SEALs might have hit Abed in the stomach. The objective of Operation Neptune's Fury is to exonerate the SEALs, who should be honored as heroes, not tried as criminals. The charged SEALs are:
All are from SEAL Team Ten in Little Creek, Va. The Navy has just over 2,000 SEALs, and it takes years of training to become one. These men are some of the most elite warriors in the world. They accomplished their mission, yet could face discharge because the man responsible for the Fallujah ambush could have received a fat lip? "How long before America's front-line troops begin to wonder if the country really has their backs?" asked Lt. Col. Ralph Peters in a New York Post op-ed. Unfortunately, they already are. As a SEAL officer told me in an interview, "SEALs are tired of having to watch their back – not only from the enemy – but also from our own leadership." These warriors clearly need our help. This is a battle that they cannot win. Remember, what you communicate could either help or hurt these men's careers.
